A guide to booking

Hire String Quartets in Leicester, England, United Kingdom

String quartets in Leicester, England, United Kingdom perform at weddings, corporate functions, private dinners and formal celebrations across your area. 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 Locally

When hiring a classical quartet near you, 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.

Our guests are still commenting on how great you were and you even played some requests during the drinks reception.

Based in Birmingham, England (34 miles from Leicester) Louise Photo of Sophistication Strings Sophistication Strings "All of our guests commented on how the music added the perfect ambience to our special day. Thank you, Sophistication Strings, for your beautiful playing." Based in Kidderminster, England (50 miles from Leicester) Margaret C - 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."

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.
