String Quartets for Hire

The price or hiring a string quartet is likely to be around the £800-£1000 mark. This can vary depending on a number of factors, including how far the string quartet have to travel, their level of experience and the date of your wedding. Bear in mind that when hiring any live act, the price of their travel and accommodation is included in your quote so consider trying to find an act who don't have to come far to reach you to save money.

Yes! As long as they have shade if it's sunny, it's not too windy or cold and they have a flat surface to use, string quartets will happily perform outside. It's always a great idea to have a backup just in case. They won't be able to perform if their music is blowing around everywhere or their fingers are frozen, and of course, rain can damage expensive instruments.

It's always best to book any live act as soon as you are able to in order to avoid disappointment. Our most popular string quartets for hire get booked over a year in advance so get in quickly after you've booked your venue.

This depends on the string quartet. Some are happy to learn a song for you free of charge, others will do it for a small fee and others are not able to offer this service. A lot of work goes into arranging songs if the sheet music isn't readily available and costs are incurred if it can be bought. If this is something that is very important to you, it's essential to check with your adviser before booking that your chosen quartet offer this service.

A traditional string quartet is made up of two violins who play the two highest parts of the arrangement, a viola to add the middle tones and cello to play the warm bass notes and bring the whole ensemble together into a delicious musical treat!

Most string quartets are available as trios or duos to suit smaller spaces and budgets. Others offer more musicians up to a small string orchestra of around 12 players. Check the profile for each act as they all offer different line-ups.

String quartets are actually pretty flexible when it comes to timings.
