As one of the UK's busiest and most sought-after professional quartets, and with more than 25 years of experience, The Hyde Park String Quartet has the ability and panache to enhance the ambience of every kind of event, however formal or informal the occasion.

As well as playing music of the great composers, the quartet has a unique library of sparkling arrangements of all kinds of popular music from Monteverdi to Madonna.

The idea of this classical line-up playing modern tunes delights audiences of all ages and walks of life. As a result, the schedule now embraces concerts, all kinds of function (The Hyde Park String Quartet has performed at over 1,350 weddings), plus entertaining in hotels, restaurants and cruiseliners.

The guys were superb! They were flexible and professional and an absolute delight to hear play. They nailed my request for tracks and even played the bride down the aisle. Such an incredible addition to our celebration. Thank you for everything!

Me and my husband were delighted to have them for our wedding day! Despite the strong wind outside, they managed to play beautifully. All of our guests were amazed and we are very grateful. Also, we wanted one specific piece of music for the entrance and them to play whilst I had a friend signing and they agreed without issue and were very accommodating.

The Hyde Park String Quartet's contribution to our wedding ceremony was simply perfect. How I wish we had a recording or video of them all through it. They accommodated our every wish, including playing a range of classical pieces and humorous television themes, plus a superb arrangement created by themselves of a piece not previously in the quartet repertoire, also specially requested by us. They were great to deal with too, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My new wife and I arrived at our wedding venue to be greeted by our guests and the fabulous music being played by the string quartet. A couple of weeks before the wedding I was asked what music the guys had to play... I had no idea! So, I let the quartet play whatever the seemed appropriate. Their choice was incredible! Every guest said their music was beautiful. Catherine and I could not agree more. Thanks guys, you were amazing.
