A guide to booking

Hire String Quartets in Sunderland, England, United Kingdom

String quartets in Sunderland, 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.

I could not recommend you highly enough. You have such a range of musical genre. Thank you very very much. Jeannette Williams. The wedding of Peter and Beth Gray" Based in York, England (67 miles from Sunderland) Jeanette - Wedding Ceremony and Drinks Reception Photo of Scotia Strings Scotia Strings "Just a note to say 'thank you' for Scotia String's performance which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and which many of our guests commented favourably on. As we discussed when booking, this is the second time you have provided music for us, the previous time around four years ago at The Gleneagles Hotel for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. With our very best wishes to you and your fellow musicians." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland (101 miles from Sunderland) Andrew Watson - House Party Photo of Echo Strings Echo Strings "We can’t thank Echo String Quartet enough- they made our day perfect. The girls were all such lovely people, and they were so professional. They listened to all our requests and they even helped us out at the church with playing the hymns- a last minute spanner in the works from us! Honestly, you were incredible and so many guests have commented on how wonderful the music was. Thank you so so much."

Based in Kidderminster, England (177 miles from Sunderland) 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."

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.
