We are London's premiere string ensembles, and if you are seeking a string quartet, string trio, violin and cello duo, or solo violinist, cellist or pianist you have come to the right place! Our team is vibrant, professional and young but with a tonne of experience. We have each performed for hundreds of weddings and events, and countless concerts and recording sessions, both within the UK and internationally, and each of us have over 10 years of experience performing for special events. We are graduates from the top conservatories in London, and regularly perform with the London Symphony Orchesta and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as with artists including Ed Sheeran and Adele.
If you'd like talent combined with experience, elegance and reliability, do get in touch with us and we'll help curate the perfect playlist for your event! As well as weddings and corporate functions, we've played for many cocktail hours, birthday parties and proposals. We believe we can offer something for everyone, our musical versatility is renowned - both on acoustic and electric instruments we can perform music in a more Classical style or we can play your Bridgerton or Bollywood favourites!
A string quartet has long been the most popular choice at weddings, and the series Bridgerton has seen an increase in string quartet bookings. The quartet is classy and elegant, harmonically complex, and is visually striking. It's the go-to choice for larger events! However, choosing a string trio (two violins and a cello) piano trio (piano, violin and cello) or a violin and cello duo will not compromise on quality in any way, and to be honest there won't be much difference in volume either. Both are more affordable, and can fit into a smaller space. We can play the same music in all ensembles, especially as a duo - no problems there! If you are concerned that we may be too quiet, you can book one of our string ensembles with an optional add-on, and we can bring a PA system with microphones. Another add-on we offer is backing tracks which we can perform with - we have a set list of these backing tracks. A soloist (violin or cello, but you can also book a pianist if you wish!) is an excellent choice for an intimate event, like a proposal or private dinner.

Require around 4x4 m2. Chairs, and a covering if playing outdoors.
Postcode, space for us to play!
We don't provide lighting equipment, but you can hire us with a PA upon request.
Upon request.
If you'd like to book us with amplification, that is certainly an option and we can bring our PA system with microphones. Please let us know at the time of booking if this is something you need. Sometimes the venue has an amplification system available which we can use, so it's a good idea to check with the venue. Usually we do not need to be amplified, but some clients like this option if they are booking us for a particularly large event. You can also hire electric strings, so get in touch for a quote today if this is something you're thinking about!
We've performed for many exciting events and shows! The Proms being one of them! Aside from the Classical experience, some of our highlights are touring with Andrea Bocelli, performing for the Ambani wedding, performing for the royal family at St Jameses Palace, for the Netflix series Bridgerton, and performing in destination weddings in Italy and France.
We give everything our best, and to be honest are delighted to be performing anywhere!
We've performed for hundreds of weddings, events and shows, and have been playing professionally for years. We perform both nationally, around the UK, and beyond, even touring as far as China and the United Arabic Emirates.
We are Classically trained which means we are able to perform any piece of music with ease - and we love the Bridgerton series! Some of our favourite pop artists include Billie Eilish, Bon Jovi and Ed Sheeran.
We aim to be at the venue around 30 minutes before the beginning of the booking time, in order to get dressed and set up. The girls wear coloured, long ball-gowns, and the men dress in all black. If you'd like us to fit in with a specific colour-scheme, please let us know - we have lots of colour dresses and will try to match your request! The men can also wear tuxedos if desired. Either way, we always look snazzy and elegant and take pride in our appearance!
For a wedding - If your ceremony is a civil ceremony, an hour should be sufficient. We perform as guests arrive, during the ceremony itself (entrance, signing and exit), and as guests leave the room.
Post-wedding, you may wish to have live music during your cocktail reception - this is usually one or two hours. Some clients only book us for the cocktails and canapes, some book us only for the ceremony, and some book us for both the ceremony and reception, and even the dinner. We're flexible.
We can indeed! We just ask that a shelter is provided for us to play under, such as a large umbrella per musician, or a secure gazebo, to prevent sunlight, rain and bird droppings damaging our instruments.
Yes, you can! We offer a special request that isn't on our repertoire list for free, and any other songs will incur an extra fee, which we will quote you.
Stunning, easy to work with, reliable, professional, entertaining, talented, and would hire again!
We will play for your bridal entrance, the signing of the registry, and for your exit as a married couple. We are happy to play during other parts of your ceremony too, if requested - for example during a church service, or a recital piece during the ceremony. If you need help choosing the music, please ask us for advice and recommendations, always happy to help!
We also recommend booking us to play as the guests take their seats, to set the romantic mood and provide some light entertainment before the ceremony.
We require some small breaks for bookings over an hour - to give our fingers a refresh! This would be 10 minutes each hour for bookings of an hour or more, and a 20 minute meal break for bookings of 3 hours or more. We of course can't take a break during the ceremony itself as that would be disruptive.
Yes! This is something we have a lot of experience with, and it's always a good idea to book a reliable ensemble to work with for your destination event, rather than a lesser-known local string quartet. Communication with String Musicians London is always easy, we are reliable and of course fantastic musicians, so it's always worth it to have your mind at ease so that you can enjoy one of the most important days of your life with no stress!
We can help with the travel arrangements too, having much experience in this regard and we jet set with instruments all the time.
We perform as either a quartet, trio, duo and solo, and if you'd like to book an ensemble that's larger than a string quartet, that's certainly an option and something that we have organised many times. Just let us know what you're thinking and we'll help you to plan! We're always excited to get creative and think outside the box :)
