String Quartets in Bristol
Hire a string quartet in Bristol
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Bristol, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Bristol has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Manor Farm and Old Down Manor to Clevedon Hall. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Bristol, Clifton and Portishead, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Bristol venues below, including Nailsea Tithe Barn, Goldney Hall and Paintworks Event Space, each with its own page.
Most string ensembles have a large library of arrangements, from classical favourites to modern songs reworked for strings. That makes it easy to choose music that feels personal to you as well as traditional.

The essentials:
- Typical cost: £500 to £1,500, depending on how long they perform and the date
- Your quote shows exactly what's included
- Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
- Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
A full quartet, with two violins, viola and cello, gives the richest sound and suits a large ceremony room or church. A trio or duo is a good choice for a smaller room or a tighter budget, and still sounds elegant for a 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.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
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.
