Europe's leading protocol expert


Protocolbureau was founded in 1996 by students of Hotelschool The Hague university. Our first assignment was the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Awards to His Majesty the King of Spain. In preparation for this awards ceremony, the Master of Ceremonies of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands gave us a lecture about protocol and a few years later he asked us to assist him at the Royal Weddings, State Funerals and Royal Baptisms in The Netherlands. Protocolbureau became a leading protocol expert.

Protocolbureau works for several European and Middle Eastern household of Royal Families, ministries of foreign affairs, diplomatic schools, cultural organisations, charitable institutions, international organisations (UN, AU, EU), major events in the world of sport, awards ceremonies and top-level networking events
