Photo of Elite Strings Ensemble Elite Strings Ensemble "Absolute best party our club has had. Igor was so easy to work with leading up to our event. The quartet was great. Such talented musicians, and so kind and thoughtful. All around great evening." Based in Los Angeles, California (87 miles from Santa Barbara) 23rd December 2025 Lynn C - Private Christmas Party Photo of Mercury Strings Mercury Strings "The Mercury String Quartet was beyond accommodating and professional. Even prior to booking there is a sense of personal detail. They will work with you and discuss the precise preferences needed to fulfill your event. Not only did they take on learning unconventional songs for our wedding, they performed them perfectly, and arrived well over an hour prior to their scheduled performance.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for string quartets on Gig Heaven is $500, with rates from $160 to $1,350+. 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.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
