"From the moment we booked Weston String Quartet and exchanged emails the communication between Sandra and our selves was amazing, Sandra found all the songs we wanted and gave us our final music list in order of play and duration. On our wedding day they turned up early and found the perfect spot to set up and most of our guests commented on how beautifully they came dressed for our occasion. They played all our songs to our guests who are still talking about them now and one guest we know of upto now recorded them as she sang along. 5* for everything you was absolutely out of this world, would definitely book again but for longer than the hour we had, and would highly recommend to everyone for any occasions. 👏👏👏👏👏Thank you so much for making our wedding even more special to us 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏"

What sort of music will a string quartet play?

I want a string quartet to perform at my wedding/event: which parts of the wedding/event should they play?
In most instances, the string quartet will perform during the following parts of a wedding ceremony: seating of the guests, entrance of the bride, signing of the registry, and the walk-out. They will often play at the drinks reception too. For other events, such as corporate events or birthday parties, a string quartet is the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail/canapes hour, providing a beautiful ambience for the guests as they arrive.
A string quartet is slightly out of my budget - what should I do?
Not to worry! If you still want that magic string quartet sound on a budget, you could hire a string trio.
