String Quartets in Northumberland

String quartets and classical ensembles in Northumberland

A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Northumberland, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.

Northumberland has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Charlton Hall and Slaley Hall Hotel to The Barn on the Bay. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Alnwick, Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Hallington Mill, Langley Castle and Newton Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every string quartet listed here travels to Northumberland as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
