String Quartets in Norfolk

Hire a string quartet in Norfolk

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

Popular wedding venues in Norfolk include Curds Hall Barn, Hautbois Hall and Bayfield Hall, and our string quartets and ensembles travel to weddings and events across Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. You'll find more Norfolk venues below, including Manor Mews, Godwick Great Barn and Holkham Hall, each with its own page.

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.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each string quartet on this page travels to Norfolk as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

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.

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.

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.

“Simply fantastic! Wedding Strings Con Amore created the perfect arrangement for our ceremony and provided a lovely atmosphere for our guests to enjoy during the drinks reception. We were over the moon with their performance and have had so many lovely compliments from our guests. Thank you all so much for making our day extra special.”

“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.”

We will recommend the “Anatole String Quartet” to all and have passed a few short videos on to others who weren’t present, their comments are delightful, thank you so much for making our special gathering a success with your presence.”
