The musical wedding specialist in the Netherlands
Experience, energy and musicality combined? The Dutch String Quartet has a rich and versatile sound. We captivate your guests with the largest (pop) repertoire in the Netherlands with over 1,000 titles on our tablets! From Pachelbel to Bridgerton. All your classical, film and pop favorites. Since wedding season 2023, we also have a Belgium Team of fantastic female string quartet players.
You can choose everything from classical to contemporary, including the superb music from Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars to name but a few! We play all over The Netherlands and Belgium.
We are a team of professional musicians and most experienced in providing acoustic live music for weddings. Our first wedding probably was in 2006! We ensure the perfect timing of the processional, your entrance and are happy to help you choose the right pieces for the most important moments. We customise tempo and offer two new requests for your ceremony if we do not have it in our playlist already.

Professional partner
With The Dutch String Quartet, you choose a friendly and professional partner at your wedding, and we are happy to work with you on any special requests. Our first wedding dates from 2006 so your big day is in good hands with us!
A string quartet consists a first violinist, second violinist, viola player and cellist. Since we are a team of musicians we never had to cancel a booking during Covid or illness or so ever. This is a strong feature for we play at weddings since 2006! Many of the girls play violin AND viola, how about that? They have steady or casual jobs in the best Dutch and Belgium orchestras.
Quartet playing is teamwork. Because my colleagues also have orchestral shifts, there are permanent substitutes for all the players. All the ladies are great musicians and chamber music players. So, a booking will always take place, even in case of illness.

Rates
We apply - depending on the size of the ensemble - and location a starting rate that offers up to three hours of attendance from € 1.900,00, incl. 9% VAT for weddings. Corporate fees start at € 1.900,00 excl. VAT. Of course, you can also book us for longer then three hours. If you book us for less than three hours, we still charge the starting rate.
Why do we hold on to three hours as a starting rate? That often includes the entrance of the guests, -the prelude-, the processional, and wedding ceremony and then background music during the reception, cocktail hour. Of course, another scenario is possible; I'd love to hear about it :-).
