Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Most wedding venues in the South-East!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

An event hosted by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our duo line-up is violin and cello but we also have a trio option with the addition of a viola, and a full string quartet.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually arrive at the venue 45 minutes before we're due to play. This gives us plenty of time to set up and to liaise with the venue staff so that everything runs smoothly.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes, we're very happy for you to select your favourite pieces from our repertoire list.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

We are an acoustic act so bring our own instruments. The only thing we ask for is chairs without arms.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our current repertoire list it's possible we can have an arrangement made for inclusion on the day. Since very little contemporary material is available for strings we may have to make a small charge to cover this.

Absolutely incredible. Would highly recommend. Saffron Strings stepped in last minute when our original musician fell through. They were a breath of fresh air amongst our otherwise stressful wedding planning! We could not be happier with their performance and how accommodating they were in the planning process. Thank you SO much!!

I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you so much for playing during our Wedding ceremony- all of our guests commented on how beautiful the music was, and we're already looking forward to watching our video to hear you both play! Thanks once again! Hannah & Kasper
