String Quartets in Kent
String quartets and classical ensembles in Kent
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Kent, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Kent has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Old Kent Barn and East Quay Venue to Cooling Castle Barn. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Canterbury, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Kent venues below, including One Warwick Park, Leeds Castle and Hever Castle, each with its own page.
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.

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.
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.
