How much does a string quartet cost for a wedding?

Hiring a professional string quartet for a wedding typically costs between £700 and £1,200 in the UK, but prices can vary significantly depending on factors like location, the length of performance, travel distance, and the musicians' experience and popularity. For example, booking for longer periods or requesting specific music arrangements can influence the final fee.

Below you will find our fees for 2026 & 2027, as well as everything that is included.

These prices are inclusive of travel to Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield and York, and some other parts of Yorkshire.

    • Up to 2 new songs that are not already part of our repertoire.

  • Up to 1.5 hours of background music while your guests enjoy their drinks and nibbles.

  • If you feel you need extra time at any point, our half hourly fee is £80

    • This can be added on nearer the time.
