The musical wedding specialist in the Netherlands
Experience, energy and musicality combined? The Dutch String Quartet has a rich and versatile sound. We captivate you and your guests with the largest (pop) repertoire in the Netherlands and Belgium 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, and soundtracks.
We are a team of professional musicians and most experienced in providing acoustic live music for weddings. Our first wedding probably was around 2006! We are your team for 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 duration, 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. We also can be booked with our own partners as pianists and singers.
Since we are a team of musicians we never had to cancel a booking during Covid or illness or so ever. Many of the girls have steady or casual jobs in the best Dutch and Belgium orchestras.

Rates
We apply - depending on the size of the ensemble - and location a starting rate that offers up to three hours of attendance from € 2.000,00, incl. 9% VAT for weddings. Corporate fees start at € 2.000,00 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 prelude, ceremony and then background music during the reception, cocktail hour. Of course, another scenario is possible; I'd love to hear about it :-).
