String Quartets in Cheshire

String quartets and classical ensembles in Cheshire

A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Cheshire, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.

Whether your wedding is near Chester, Crewe and Macclesfield or further afield, the string quartets and ensembles here cover the whole of Cheshire. Local venues include Arley Hall & Gardens, Peckforton Castle and Delamere Events, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Abbeywood Estate, Capesthorne Hall and Styal Lodge are among the other Cheshire venues listed further down, 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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every string quartet listed here travels to Cheshire as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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

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.

Prices usually start from around £500 and go up to £1,500 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

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.
