String Quartet

String Quartet - perfect music for weddings, corporate events and all special occasions! With a huge choice of music from classical to modern pop and rock, our String Quartet will entertain guests of all ages and add a touch of class to any event.

Our string quartet has a large repertoire which includes all the classical favourites you would expect to hear, along with a large selection of lighter music including Pop, TV, film and show themes, light jazz and swing numbers.

We have a large selection of traditional classical wedding music along with many modern alternatives suitable for church weddings or civil wedding/partnerships ceremonies, and background music ideal for receptions, garden parties, dinner functions or almost any special occasion you could think of!

You can have as much or as little input as you would like in choosing the music for your wedding or function. Special requests are very rarely a problem as Steve Fletcher regularly produces new arrangements for this ensemble, and unlike many musicians we do not charge any extra for this service.

Feel free to choose specific music, guide us with your preferred style of music, or simply allow us to follow the mood of the day performing music in various styles to entertain guests of all ages and tastes.

Our String Quartet are also available as 'Capital String Quartet', with a more modern image preferred by most of our wedding clients. Please visit their dedicated website at www.capitalstringquartet.co.uk
