Wedding String Quartets for hire in North Yorkshire
Latest reviews of our Wedding String Quartets in North Yorkshire
"We hired Vitula for our son’s wedding at Hazelwood Castle and were so, so pleased that we did! From the first contact nothing could have run smoother; Nick’s communication was fantastic. He is so friendly, professional and helpful and was happy to guide us through the process. The music was wonderful, they didn’t stop playing for 2 hours and each song was as fantastic as the last. The ceremony was in a small, intimate room so Nick suggested that 2 of them play for that, watching our lovely bride walk down the aisle to their beautiful music brought tears to many an eye. The quartet were back together for the champagne reception playing music that had been selected by the wedding guests. It really made the wedding very special for everyone. If you want to transform your wedding into a truly magical day then speak with Nick to see how Vitula String Quartet can bring something special to your day."

Hannah hired Vitula String Quartet for a Wedding (available in North Yorkshire)
"We recently had the pleasure of having The Fern String Quartet perform at our wedding in East Yorkshire, and we can't express how grateful we are for their incredible contribution to our special day. From the moment they began to play, the atmosphere was transformed, and our guests were captivated by their beautiful music. Each member of the quartet is extremely talented and highly skilled, and their passion for music shines through in every note they play. They performed with such elegance and poise, capturing the emotion of the day perfectly. Their music was a perfect blend of classical and modern pieces, tailored to our specific requests, which added a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. What impressed us just as much as their performance was the excellent communication we received from Fionnuala prior to the wedding; she was responsive, professional, and accommodating, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The Fern String Quartet truly exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and reliable group to perform at their special occasion. They are a class act, and we feel lucky to have had them be a part of our wedding day. A huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating unforgettable memories for us and our guests!"
