Whether you are planning to hire a string quartet
for a church ceremony, a civil ceremony, a wedding
reception, a corporate drinks reception, conference
function, company
event or a garden party, nothing can substitute
for the elegant music of classical string quartets.
The classic ensemble is made up of two violins,
one viola and one cello. They are a stationary group
(as opposed to a band of strolling musicians), and
provides a beautifully rich full string sound. However,
the quartet is not a dance group, but is more for
easy listening background music at receptions or
any event that demands an elegant atmosphere. The
following string quartet ensembles are all based
in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Below we have alphabetically listed our
