String Quartets in Newcastle upon Tyne

Hire a string quartet in Newcastle upon Tyne

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across Newcastle upon Tyne, 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.

Across Newcastle upon Tyne, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Newcastle and Gateshead. Venues in the area include The Biscuit Factory, Close House and Matfen Hall, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Wylam Brewery, Northside Farm and Jesmond Dene House, with details of each.

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.

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.

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.
