String Quartets in Nottinghamshire

String quartets and classical ensembles in Nottinghamshire

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

Whether your wedding is near Nottingham, Mansfield and Newark or further afield, the string quartets and ensembles here cover the whole of Nottinghamshire. Local venues include Colwick Hall, Hodsock Priory and Inkersall Grange Farm, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Nottinghamshire venues below, including Holme Pierrepont Hall, Village Hotel and Hazel Gap Barn, each with its own page.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every string quartet on this page covers Nottinghamshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £500 up to £1,500

  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included

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.

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.

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

“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.”

“Absolutely loved our trio - they were the perfect addition to our wedding and I am so glad we chose Wedding Strings Con Amore! Jane was a pleasure to deal with and the quartet were amazing! Would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone - worth every penny!”

“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.”

“I was blown away when I heard Strings Con Amore starting to play as I walked down the aisle. They are incredibly talented and sounded amazing in our venue.
They also played at our drinks reception and again sounded brilliant and played a mixture of very classic and current songs. Outstanding.”
