String Quartets in Manchester
String quartets and classical ensembles in Manchester
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Manchester, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Popular wedding venues in Manchester include The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower, Manchester Hall and Great John Street Hotel, and our string quartets and ensembles travel to weddings and events across Manchester, Salford and Stockport. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Other venues in the area include Victoria Baths, The Monastery Manchester and The Midland Hotel, 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.

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.
