String Quartets in Shropshire

String quartets and classical ensembles in Shropshire

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across Shropshire, string quartets, trios and duos play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, and most can play acoustically in a church or ceremony room without any amplification.

Shropshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hawkstone Hall & Gardens and The Mill Barns to Wistanstow Village Hall. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Park House Hotel - Shifnal, Davenport House and Pimhill Barn, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The string quartets and ensembles listed here all travel to Shropshire, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

The essentials:

• Budget from around £500 to £1,500, depending on the act and the date
• Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
• Popular dates go months in advance
• Everything included is listed in your quote
• Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

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.

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.

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.
