A guide to booking

Hire String Quartets in Switzerland

String quartets available for hire in Switzerland 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.

Booking a String Quartet

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.

String Quartet Costs in Switzerland

Rates for string quartets in Switzerland currently range from about CHF130 to CHF1,450+, with most clients paying around CHF440. 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.

She is highly professional, communicates clearly and promptly, and is always proactive in sharing ideas and suggestions. We had a very unconventional marketing campaign, and she was open to the concept from the very beginning, embracing it with enthusiasm and creativity. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, flexible, and always willing to explore new ideas. I have nothing but praise for her professionalism, creativity, and positive attitude. A huge thank you, Bohdana, for being part of our event and helping us bring this unusual idea to life."

From the first message, they were friendly, helpful, and always happy to answer my questions. What I really appreciated was their honesty and experience. Everything on the day was organised perfectly. The team worked together seamlessly, and it all felt relaxed and natural. Because of their hard work, I was able to focus on the moment and enjoy it with my now fiancée. The proposal was perfect, and the photos are beautiful. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives. If you are thinking about planning a proposal or special event in Florence, I highly recommend TIBI Events. Thank you again for making such an important day so special❤️" Based in Florence, Tuscany, Italy 23rd October 2026 Rohanvir Sangha Photo of BG Violin BG Violin "Bruno was great!, very easy to work with, very flexible with our choices, even providing us samples to listen to proactively ahead of wedding. On the day Bruno and his partner played beautifully and created a wonderful setting that many guests commented on. They were timely, very professional, smartly dressed and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Bruno you were great!" Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal 20th October 2026 Will Wright - Wedding Photo of Firenze Classica – String live Ensembles Firenze Classica – String live Ensembles "“We had a location in the countryside outside Florence, and we got the food from buonatavola (aperitivo and dinner) and the music from firenzeclassica. Firenze classica was really fantastic, we had a string quartet and, if you ask them in advance, they also play any modern song you request. Of course, if you give them time to rehearse. They both did an incredible job without emptying our bank account.” Source: Reddit – user ja_maz Date: 13 May 2025 Location: Countryside outside Florence, Tuscany, Italy" Translated from Italian Based in Florence, Tuscany, Italy 19th October 2026 Ja_maz 13.05.2025 - Wedding in Tuscany

The average price for string quartets on Gig Heaven is CHF440, with rates from CHF130 to CHF1,450+. Cost depends on the musicians' experience, performance duration and the complexity of the repertoire. String quartets are a popular choice for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and formal events, providing an elegant and refined atmosphere.

Hiring string quartets is one of the most popular choices for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events, gala dinners and formal occasions. The rich, elegant sound of a string quartet adds refinement and emotional depth to key moments.

Many string quartets offer arrangements of popular songs, film soundtracks, chart hits and well-known melodies alongside classical repertoire. This allows the music to appeal to a wider audience while maintaining the sophisticated sound of live strings. It is advisable to check each quartet's profile for their full repertoire.

Most string quartets need an area of approximately 3 by 3 metres for four seated musicians. They do not need a stage and can perform at floor level. For the best experience, confirm space and access requirements with the quartet, particularly for venues with stairs or limited access.
