String Quartets in the East of England

String quartets and ensembles covering the whole of the East of England

The East of England covers a lot of ground, from King's Lynn, Bedford, Colchester, Peterborough, St Albans and Ipswich. Our string quartets and ensembles travel right across the region, so wherever your wedding or event is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts.

This region page covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

From Voewood and Shuttleworth House to Mulberry House, Bassmead Manor Barns, The Old Palace at Hatfield House and Snape Maltings, the venues across the East of England range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Across the East of England you can choose from string quartets, trios and duos playing classical pieces and pop arrangements. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking string quartets and ensembles since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the East of England. Travel is built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £500 to £1,500 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel
  • Travel within the East of England is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £500, while bigger acts can reach £1,500 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

“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.”
