What sort of music will a string quartet play?

Having said that, many string quartets are well-versed in playing covers of pop music, or even jazz. When looking to hire a string quartet, make sure you check their song list - you might be surprised at what you see! If you have a special request, they should be able to arrange it for you too.
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.
