Live Wedding Band in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
Other languages: Nederlands
Looking for a live wedding band in the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany? ErmanArt Music brings live music to weddings, parties and corporate events, and music and sound to children's parties, anywhere within 500 km of the Netherlands. We have 20 years of experience as a wedding band, with hundreds of weddings played in Turkey, and since 2023 we have been playing weddings in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Most couples book us as a live band. For smaller moments we also play as soloists: a pianist, a guitarist or a violinist.
Behind ErmanArt is pianist and accordionist Erman Turkeli. He trained at Istanbul University State Conservatory and graduated in jazz piano from HKU Utrecht Conservatorium. You can watch videos from our weddings on the ErmanArt page.
What we offer for your wedding
Everything your evening needs musically, from one team:
- Live band wedding music: the heart of the evening, played and sung live on stage.
- Acoustic welcome and cocktail music: violin, guitar, accordion and similar instruments while your guests arrive and mingle.
- Brass band or drum show: a burst of energy for an entrance or for the high point of the night.
- DJ performance: music that sets the mood before the band starts.
- Piano recital: solo piano for the ceremony or the dinner.
- Violin and guitar duo: intimate acoustic music for the quieter moments.
- Sound system: professional sound, so every song and every word is heard clearly.
- Lighting: stage and dance-floor lighting that matches the mood of the evening.
- Photography and video: photos and film to keep the memories of your day.
Our repertoire: from André Hazes to ABBA
Your guests come from different generations and backgrounds, so we play a wide repertoire that gets everyone onto the dance floor:
- 70s pop
- 90s and 2000s pop
- Dutch music from the 70s to the 2000s
- Latin and Cuban music
- French, Italian and Spanish songs
- Jewish Hora dance music
- Hits by André Hazes, The Beatles, Sting, ABBA, Frans Bauer, Michael Jackson, Adele, Amy Winehouse and many more
We build the setlist with you
No two weddings are the same, which is why we put the setlist together with you:
- Songs you would rather not hear come off the setlist.
- Special requests are rehearsed in advance and played live on your wedding night.
- If the bride or groom wants to sing on stage, we plan that moment together.
- If you prefer fully instrumental live music, without vocals, we play the evening that way.
How the evening goes
We follow your schedule. At most weddings the evening runs like this:
- Welcome and cocktails: acoustic music while your guests arrive, if you would like it.
- DJ: before the live music starts, while the guests come into the venue, we play DJ music. You can put this playlist together yourselves or leave it entirely to us.
- Live band: the band takes the stage and the party moves to the dance floor.
