String Quartets in Birmingham

Hire a string quartet in Birmingham

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across Birmingham, string quartets, trios and duos play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, and most can play acoustically in a church or ceremony room without any amplification.

Birmingham has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens and Fazeley Studios to The Grand Hotel Birmingham. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Moxhull Hall, New Hall Hotel & Spa and Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and each has its own venue page further down.

Live strings give a ceremony real presence. A quartet of two violins, viola and cello fills a church or ceremony room without any amplification, and the same ensemble can move on to the drinks reception afterwards.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each string quartet on this page travels to Birmingham as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £500 up to £1,500
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

String instruments are sensitive to heat, cold and damp, so an outdoor ceremony needs shade and a covered spot nearby. Tell us the venue and the timings, and the ensemble will plan where to set up for the ceremony and drinks reception.

Most string quartet bookings fall between £500 and £1,500. A duo for the ceremony sits at the lower end, while a full quartet covering the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
