String Quartets in Essex
String quartets and classical ensembles in Essex
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Essex, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Essex has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Apton Hall and Vaulty Manor to Mulberry House. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Chelmsford, Colchester and Southend-on-Sea, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Blake Hall, Great Lodge and Baddow Park House, 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.

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.
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.
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.
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 day. 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.
