Photo of Black Thursdays Trio Black Thursdays Trio "Great performance! What a fantastic trio! And very nice men. Professional and flexible, highly recommended" Based in The Hague, South Holland 20th March 2026 Raymond - Private Event Photo of Jazz Bands The Hague | Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands The Hague | Jazz Central Agency "The performance on Thursday was great! Our guests thought so too. In short, we're very satisfied, including with the booking process." Based in The Hague, South Holland 22nd January 2026 Joyce Photo of The Happy Feet Orchestra The Happy Feet Orchestra "Good band, nice repertoire and all music is danceable for Lindy Hop/Charleston. Always a fun party when they play. It really gives you happy feet." Based in Pijnacker, South Holland (7 miles from The Hague) Anette Heijn - public dance Photo of Jazz Moments Jazz Moments "Jazz Moments set the ideal tone for our reception with their refined and tasteful music. Their ability to play beautifully while remaining in the background made them the perfect choice for our wedding. Truly professional and talented musicians." Translated from Dutch Based in Rotterdam, South Holland (13 miles from The Hague) Hanna & Wim - Private Wedding Photo of Bertram & Kadi DUO Bertram & Kadi DUO "Bertram & Kadi truly tied our tranquil cottage wedding together. Their music created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - sweet, playful, and effortlessly elegant. We loved working with them beforehand to put together a setlist of our favourite jazz standards, and they even learned a song without sheet music online so we could listen to our special song on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful duo." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland (32 miles from The Hague) 13th June 2026 Hebo - Private wedding Photo of Bijou Trio Bijou Trio "I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive. When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding. I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland (32 miles from The Hague) Nadia Duran - Nadia Duran Events - Sydney Australia
