'A Piacere' is the Italian, musical term for 'with pleasure' - and it would be our pleasure to help you add elegance and sophistication to your special event. Based in Kent, covering London, Sussex and beyond, Piacere String Quartet are a group of four dedicated professional musicians who have each trained to Diploma level and beyond at the top London Conservatories. We have over 80 years musical experience between us, and have performed for Prince Charles, Pope John Paul II, in the top London concert venues and extensively in London's West End. We have an extensive repertoire covering all of the classical, romantic and operatic hits, plus lighter jazz, swing and pop arrangements so we can tailor our play list to suit your event perfectly. Indeed, if you have a special request - perhaps you'd like your first dance song played as your recessional - we would be delighted to compose an arrangement of this for you. Due to the unique nature of weddings and corporate events, prices are quoted upon request but a usual pricing structure is included on this page. If you are looking for a London or Kent based String Quartet for your wedding or event, please feel free to contact us so that we may discuss your requirements. We cover weddings and events in Kent, London, Essex, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire - and further afield!

Dear Inna and the Piacere quartet, We are eternally grateful for your beautiful music you made our day so magical, we received so many compliments and can’t thank you enough. Your talents and professionalism are second to none and we would not hesitate to book your services again or recommend you highly enough to other couples for their special day. The special piece of music you learned for my husbands entrance was the icing on the cake, and you made a few family members cry with joy with your classical pieces. Thank you for our card also. We have so many treasured memories of the day at Cain Manor and will share more photos with you soon. Best wishes. Mr & Mrs Sycamore Xxx

Inna's beautiful, romantic music set the mood perfectly at our summer wedding. She couldn't have been more accommodating, perfecting our favourite songs for my walk down the aisle and making sure everything went smoothly on the day. Talented and professional; a lovely addition to our wedding!
