String Quartets on the Isle of Wight

Hire a string quartet on the Isle of Wight

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across the Isle of Wight, string quartets, trios and duos play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, and most can play acoustically in a church or ceremony room without any amplification.

The Isle of Wight has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Barton Manor and Shepards Wharf Marina – The Sugar Store to Albert Cottage Hotel. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Newport, Ryde and Cowes, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Northwood House, New Barn Farm and Royal Ocean Racing Club are among the other Isle of Wight venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Live strings give a ceremony real presence. A quartet of two violins, viola and cello fills a church or ceremony room without any amplification, and the same ensemble can move on to the drinks reception afterwards.

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

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

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.

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.
