“We are glad that we chose Fern Quartet for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was a great pleasure to experience their mesmerizing music while vowing to each other for lifetime. Their music elevated the theme of our wedding, perfectly capturing the vintage glamor we aimed for. A performance where every note and movement commanded absolute attention.

Why Choose a String Quartet for Your Kirkby Fleetham Estate Wedding?
There are few venues where live music feels quite so at home.
The peaceful surroundings, beautiful gardens and exclusive atmosphere create the perfect setting for a professional string quartet. Unlike recorded music, live musicians respond naturally to each moment, creating an atmosphere that feels effortless and unforgettable.
Whether you're welcoming guests before the ceremony, making your entrance, signing the register or celebrating with drinks overlooking the lake, our music adds warmth, sophistication and emotion throughout your wedding day.
Many couples also love the flexibility of our repertoire, which combines timeless classical favourites with modern love songs, film music and carefully chosen personal requests.
Experienced at Kirkby Fleetham Estate
We've been fortunate to perform at Kirkby Fleetham Estate for very different celebrations, giving us first-hand experience of the venue and its beautiful ceremony locations.
One memorable wedding featured a stunning outdoor ceremony beside the lake, where the bride made her entrance by descending the elegant stone steps from the house into the gardens, accompanied by live string quartet music before we continued performing throughout the drinks reception.
Another beautiful celebration included a traditional ceremony at St Mary's Church within the estate, before guests returned to the Hall to continue the celebrations.
Having performed in both settings, we understand how the different spaces work and can help ensure your music flows seamlessly throughout the day.
