Reviews of String Quartets available in Cardiff

5/5 from 452 reviews
Photo of TKate Cello TKate Cello "Tabitha was absolutely wonderful as our wedding cellist. She was professional and brought lovely personal touches to every aspect of her performance. She took the time to understand the tone of our day, and played with such sensitivity and emotion that it added a truly intimate touch to the ceremony. Her music was not only beautiful—it elevated the entire atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how moving the music was and how warm and approachable Tabitha seemed. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful contribution to our wedding day." Based in Cardiff, Wales Matthew Barrell - Wedding Photo of The String Quartet Company The String Quartet Company "Thank you all so very much! Your beautiful accompaniment to the proceedings lifted our enjoyment of the day to a whole new level." Based in Cardiff, Wales Annabelle - Birthday Party Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist Rebecca Rose Cellist "We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day. Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect."

Thank you, Sophistication Strings, for your beautiful playing."

Everyone was so nice to work with. Considering the amount of notes that we had to play last night - it was a fantastic job. The audience had a really good evening and there were many excellent comments. Thank you, for leading in your usual friendly and professional way. It's always a privilege to work with you. Please pass on my thanks to the players - I am looking forward to the B minor Mass after Christmas! All the best.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for string quartets on Gig Heaven is £400, with rates from £120 to £1,000+. 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.
