String Quartets in Herefordshire

Hire a string quartet in Herefordshire

For a traditional ceremony with a touch of grandeur, it's hard to beat live strings. In Herefordshire, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for the aisle, the signing and the drinks reception afterwards.

Herefordshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hampton Court Castle and Homme House to The Haybarn. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Hereford, Ledbury and Leominster, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include How Caple Court, Lyde Arundel and Eastnor Castle, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every string quartet on this page covers Herefordshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £500 to £1,500, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

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.

“We had the Anatole Quartet play at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. Dan was incredibly helpful and professional and nothing was too much trouble. An example of this was when they learnt how to play one of the Star Wars tunes to play during the ceremony, which went down exceptionally well with all our guests. They were a great addition to our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”

“Jane was an excellent communicator in the lead up to the wedding. They were punctual and accommodating of our requirements. She arranged songs specifically for us at our request and most importantly - all of the songs sounded fantastic. We and our guests really enjoyed having Jane and her quartet play at our wedding.”
