String Quartets in the North West

Book string quartets and ensembles anywhere in the North West

Whether you're planning a wedding or event in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, string quartets and ensembles in the North West cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Formby, Salford Quays, Poulton-le-Fylde, Preston, Lancaster and Chester, so you can compare them side by side.

Across Blackpool, Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester, the string quartets and ensembles listed here play ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the North West.

From The Florrie and Manchester Hall to Village Hotel Club, Eaves Hall, Wennington Hall and Delamere Events, the venues across the North West range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Across the North West you can choose from string quartets, trios and duos playing classical pieces and pop arrangements. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking string quartets and ensembles since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the North West. Travel is built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £1,500, depending on line-up, date and how long the act plays
  • Always included: travel, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across the North West
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide which line-up is the better fit for your wedding or event.

Expect to pay from around £500 up to £1,500 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

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 event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“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.”

“We booked The Anatole Quartet for our gala dinner on the last night of an international conference. They complimented Queen’s college perfectly and delighted our guests with their mix of classic and modern music. The booking process was easy and they were great to work with.”

“Dan and his team were a wonderful addition to our special day. Everything ran wonderfully well and our guests were thrilled with the selection of music chosen for the day. Anatole Quartet were extremely professional and leading up to the day, happily communicated with the Choir and Church, leaving my husband and I to focus on other things. Absolutely five star and highly recommended. Thanks again.”
