String Quartets in Swansea
String quartets and classical ensembles in Swansea
A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Swansea, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.
Swansea has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Oxwich Bay Hotel and Oldwalls Gower to Parc Le Breos House. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Swansea, Mumbles and Neath, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Swansea venues below, including Brangwyn Hall, Fairyhill and Sketty Hall, each with its own page.
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.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The string quartets and ensembles listed here all travel to Swansea, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.
Most string quartet bookings fall between £500 and £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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.
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.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. 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.
