Live Strings for Weddings and Parties

High quality live music from our large selection will get everyone talking: from pop to film music, jazz, Bollywood, TV themes, and well-known classical tunes.

Weddings

Live music for your ceremony creates a special atmosphere, whether it’s in a church, hotel, wedding barn, civil venue, marquee, outside, or elsewhere. 

We will play while guests arrive, then for the entrance, signing the marriage schedule, and for your exit. If your special piece of music isn’t already on our playlist we can normally arrange it for you at no extra cost.

For church ceremonies we are also happy to play for hymns.

Moving from the ceremony to the reception is straightforward. If the weather’s nice we’re happy to play outside too, so you can enjoy the sunshine as well as the music. 

Our background music is the perfect accompaniment to canapés, photos, fizz and celebrations and you can pick your favourite tunes from our list.

Choose from string quartet (four musicians) or string duo (two musicians) to suit your day.

Having you and your team play at our wedding really was the icing on the cake! We thoroughly enjoyed your music and everyone commented on just how good you really are, such good chemistry between you all. I couldn’t recommend you enough from day 1 contacting you, all the way through to the day you were easy to contact and nothing was a problem, I cannot fault anything.”

Parties

Whether you’re holding a birthday bash, garden party, celebration for a wedding held abroad, retirement do, or hosting a charity ball, our music will give everyone something to remember for a long time.

Our set-up makes it easy for us to play in any setting – indoors or outside, large or small, formal or relaxed. Our acoustic sound is perfect for everyone to hear us without having to raise their voice to be heard. For larger events we give the option of gentle amplification to make sure the volume level is perfect for you.

For smaller spaces or tighter budgets we can provide a string duo (two musicians) instead of the full quartet (four musicians).

Everyone thought you were wonderful and were so impressed by your playing. You added a real sense of atmosphere and style to the evening. Thank you very very much and we will be delighted to recommend you at anyone we know.

Thank you for performing at our wedding – it really added to the atmosphere and we also received some lovely comments from our guests. We loved the way you performed the tracks we had chosen and I overheard lots of people chatting about the music. There is genuinely nothing I would change – we really enjoyed what you did.

Graham and Daniel, married at Rockliffe Hall

Wedding fairs
