String Quartets in Somerset

Hire a string quartet in Somerset

There's nothing quite like live strings for the walk down the aisle. Across Somerset, 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.

Across Somerset, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Taunton, Bath and Wells. Venues in the area include The Cider Barn at Dillington Estate, Sparkford Hall and Orchardleigh House, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Other venues in the area include St Audries Park, Wick Farm and Brympton House, and each has its own venue page further down.

String ensembles play both traditional classical repertoire and arrangements of pop, rock and film music, so guests might hear Pachelbel's Canon during the ceremony and a string version of a chart hit over the canapés.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each string quartet on this page travels to Somerset as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

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
• 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.

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.

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.
