String Quartets in Worcestershire

String quartets and classical ensembles in Worcestershire

A string quartet brings a sense of occasion to a wedding ceremony that few other acts can match. In Worcestershire, quartets and smaller string ensembles are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing classical pieces alongside string arrangements of modern songs.

Worcestershire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Stanbrook Abbey Hotel and Old Rectory House to Redhouse Barn. Our string quartets and ensembles travel to towns across the area, including Worcester, Malvern and Redditch, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Worcestershire venues below, including The Wood Norton, Brockencote Hall and Eckington Manor, each with its own page.

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 Worcestershire as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £1,500, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A full quartet, with two violins, viola and cello, gives the richest sound and suits a large ceremony room or church. A trio or duo is a good choice for a smaller room or a tighter budget, and still sounds elegant for a 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.

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.

“We booked The Anatole Quartet for our gala dinner on the last night of an international conference. They complimented Queen’s college perfectly and delighted our guests with their mix of classic and modern music. The booking process was easy and they were great to work with.”

“Absolutely loved our trio - they were the perfect addition to our wedding and I am so glad we chose Wedding Strings Con Amore! Jane was a pleasure to deal with and the quartet were amazing! Would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone - worth every penny!”

“Dan and his team were a wonderful addition to our special day. Everything ran wonderfully well and our guests were thrilled with the selection of music chosen for the day. Anatole Quartet were extremely professional and leading up to the day, happily communicated with the Choir and Church, leaving my husband and I to focus on other things. Absolutely five star and highly recommended. Thanks again.”

“I was blown away when I heard Strings Con Amore starting to play as I walked down the aisle. They are incredibly talented and sounded amazing in our venue.
They also played at our drinks reception and again sounded brilliant and played a mixture of very classic and current songs. Outstanding.”
