String Quartets in Buckinghamshire

Hire a string quartet in Buckinghamshire

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across Buckinghamshire, 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.

Across Buckinghamshire, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Venues in the area include Danesfield House Hotel, The Dairy at Waddesdon and Huntsmill Farm, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Hedsor House, Stoke Place and Latimer Place, with details of each.

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.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each string quartet on this page travels to Buckinghamshire 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

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.

Expect to pay from around £500 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

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.

“Dan and his team were a wonderful addition to our special day. Everything ran wonderfully well and our guests were thrilled with the selection of music chosen for the day. Anatole Quartet were extremely professional and leading up to the day, happily communicated with the Choir and Church, leaving my husband and I to focus on other things. Absolutely five star and highly recommended. Thanks again.”
