String quartets available for hire in Canada perform at weddings, corporate functions, private dinners and formal celebrations. A standard quartet features two violins, a viola and a cello, producing a rich, balanced sound that suits both intimate rooms and larger venues. Most groups offer a mix of classical works, modern pop and rock arrangements, film music and jazz standards, so you can tailor the repertoire to your event.
When hiring a classical quartet, expect performances in sets of 45 minutes to one hour with short breaks between. For weddings, many ensembles offer packages covering the ceremony and cocktail hour as a single booking. Quartets bring their own instruments and music stands, but will need a flat area of roughly three by two meters with armless chairs. Discuss any special song requests early, as custom arrangements need preparation time. Some groups near your venue also offer trio or duo configurations for smaller spaces or budgets.
Rates for string quartets in Canada currently range from about $230 to $2,400+, with most clients paying around $700. Pricing reflects performance duration, travel distance to your venue, and whether you need custom arrangements of specific songs. Ceremony-only bookings cost less than packages that extend through drinks and dinner. Peak wedding season dates and weekend bookings may carry a premium.
The average price is $700 (CAD), with most priced from $230 to $2,400+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
