When you hire a String Quartet for your wedding ceremony, you will not only get the greatest Classical pieces ever played live as the bride walks down the aisle, you will also get an intimacy that is rarely seen with other instruments. The String Quartet can play a romantic bridal part such as Pachelbel’s ‘Cannon’ in D. This is perhaps the most iconic wedding song you can think of, so to have it played at this special moment will bring a few tears to your guests!. The String Quartet will then play a more celebratory piece when the wedding register has been signed and as the family and friends are walking out.

What equipment and set up requirements do String Quartets need?

As with most artists who sign up to Entertainersworldwide.com, a String Quartet will provide all of their own equipment. You may want to enquire if an artist needs a PA to amplify their sound, in which case we would advise to use our easy to use messaging service to find out. We do ask that each performer gets a backstage area in which they can prepare for the performance ahead. If your venue does not have a backstage area, then we kindly ask that you enquire with the venue to seek an alternative space in which the performer can comfortably get ready to entertain.
