String Quartets in Surrey
String quartets and classical ensembles in Surrey
For a traditional ceremony with a touch of grandeur, it's hard to beat live strings. In Surrey, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for the aisle, the signing and the drinks reception afterwards.
Across Surrey, string quartets and ensembles are booked for weddings and events in and around Guildford, Woking and Epsom. Venues in the area include The Barn at Botley Hill, Pembroke Lodge and Gate Street Barn, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Other venues in the area include Great Fosters, Hampton Court House and Millbridge Court, and each has its own venue page further down.
Live strings give a ceremony real presence. A quartet of two violins, viola and cello fills a church or ceremony room without any amplification, and the same ensemble can move on to the drinks reception afterwards.

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.
Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.
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.
