Wedding String Quartets for hire in Aberdeen
Latest reviews of our Wedding String Quartets in Aberdeen
"The whole experience with Tom and his colleagues was great, with great communication front the start. We really appreciated that they had a bit of a journey to get to us, but they were punctual, and made a great positive impact on our day, providing a great classical and contemporary atmosphere to our wedding day - to greet the guest, play our entry and exit for the service, a nice interval set in the woodland gardens, before accompanying us through dinner. They really helped make the day extra special and we and all our guest left with memories of the day we will treasure. A huge thank you from Jason & David. "

When looking to hire a string quartet, make sure you check their song list - you might be surprised at what you see! If you have a special request, they should be able to arrange it for you too.
I want a string quartet to perform at my wedding/event: which parts of the wedding/event should they play?
In most instances, the string quartet will perform during the following parts of a wedding ceremony: seating of the guests, entrance of the bride, signing of the registry, and the walk-out. They will often play at the drinks reception too. For other events, such as corporate events or birthday parties, a string quartet is the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail/canapes hour, providing a beautiful ambience for the guests as they arrive.
A string quartet is slightly out of my budget - what should I do?
Not to worry! If you still want that magic string quartet sound on a budget, you could hire a string trio.
