String Quartets in Oxfordshire

String quartets and classical ensembles in Oxfordshire

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

Across Oxfordshire, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Oxford, Banbury and Witney. Venues in the area include Ardington House, Blenheim Palace and Merriscourt, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Other venues in the area include Acorn Barn, Old Luxters Barn and Caswell House, 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.

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.

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.
