String Quartets in West Sussex

String quartets and classical ensembles in West Sussex

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

Whether your wedding is near Chichester, Horsham and Crawley or further afield, the string quartets and ensembles here cover the whole of West Sussex. Local venues include Cowdray Estate, Two Woods Estate and Grittenham Barn, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Southend Barns, Upwaltham Barns and Bury Manor 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.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each string quartet on this page travels to West Sussex 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
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• 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.

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.

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.
