"Fantastic! Louis attended our wedding and we can’t complement him enough. He didn’t need a playlist from us, we let him do what he’s good at and everyone loved it. Such raging reviews from our guests and friends/family have all been asking for his details for their events. Would definitely recommend to anyone. "

Verified Review, 8 November 2025

"If you're looking for a string quartet for your wedding or special event look no further. Highly Strung made our wedding a truly wonderful occasion. We requested Woman by Mumford and Sons for my wife to walk down the aisle to and their arrangement was so beautiful there was hardly a dry eye in the house (especially mine). Apart from a couple of other classical pieces we requested for signing the registrar, we gave Highly Strung carte blanche to play a selection of classical and contemporary pieces and their set choices did not disappoint. The musicians themselves were very approachable and even enjoyed a laugh with my bride and I. Absolutely phenomenal quartet who we cannot thank enough and recommend more highly. Thank you so much for making our wedding day that bit more magical. Les and Karla."

FAQs about hiring Wedding breakfast musicians in Nottinghamshire

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any wedding breakfast musician play my favourite song?

Professional wedding breakfast musicians will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that wedding breakfast musicians may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the wedding breakfast musician's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do wedding breakfast musicians take to set up?

Your wedding breakfast musician will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the wedding breakfast musician prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our wedding breakfast musicians will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
