Acoustic violin works in intimate chapels, grand ballrooms, outdoor gardens, rooftops, and boats. No power required, no amp needed — just pure, resonant sound.
From the couples
"Benjamin kept everyone on their feet from the moment we walked in. We hadn’t even thought about a violinist until a friend suggested it — now we can’t imagine our wedding without him. It completely set the tone for the entire day."
Sophie & Samuel
Wedding Ceremony · Amsterdam
"He played as our daughters scattered rose petals down the aisle. Canon in D filled the room and it was exactly like a dream. After the vows he played Marco Borsato’s Mooi and we danced with pure joy. The best decision we made."
Louise & Ibrahim
Wedding · Amsterdam
"We asked Benjamin to surprise our guests with the first dance song before the DJ started. He read the room perfectly, built the energy gradually, and by the time the beat dropped everyone was already up. Truly exceptional."

Frequently Asked
Can you request a specific song for my bridal walk-in?
Absolutely. Benjamin welcomes personal song requests for the most important moments of your day — especially the processional. If the song is not already in the repertoire, he will learn it especially for your wedding. Custom requests are included in the Gold and Diamond packages.
How much does a wedding violinist cost in Amsterdam?
Benjamin’s wedding packages start at €399 for the Silver package (one song, one moment) and go up to €499 for the Diamond package (60 minutes, 12 songs including 3 custom requests). For events outside Amsterdam and Noord-Holland, international travel, or late-night performances, please contact him directly for a tailored quote.
Are you available for weddings outside the Netherlands?
Yes — Benjamin is available worldwide for destination weddings and international events. He has performed across Europe and is experienced with international logistics. Get in touch early as international dates book quickly, especially during peak season (May to September).
Do you need amplification or special equipment?
No — acoustic violin carries naturally in most venues. For very large spaces, a small amp can be arranged at no extra cost.
Can I book you for both the ceremony and the reception?
Yes. Benjamin offers packages covering multiple parts of your day. Contact him to discuss a custom full-day package.
