String Quartets in Cumbria
Hire a string quartet in Cumbria
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Cumbria, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Across Cumbria, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Carlisle, Kendal and Windermere. Venues in the area include Broadoaks Country House, Loweswater Village Hall and Eden Barn, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Askham Hall, Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa and Holker Hall, with details of each.
String ensembles play both traditional classical repertoire and arrangements of pop, rock and film music, so guests might hear Pachelbel's Canon during the ceremony and a string version of a chart hit over the canapés.

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.
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.
Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
