string quartet

Are you near a university? I would suggest contacting your nearest university's music department/college, as most have a list of students who are in chamber music groups - such as string quartets - and willing to play at weddings. My experience has been that they are generally very good and very reasonably priced!

So would I just contact a university and they might help you think hun x

Well, I'd contact the music department/college directly. The receptionist should be able to tell you whether such a list exists, and if so, provide you contact information for the quartets.

Its an idea - thanks for that.

Hi Mrs2013,

I had The Dotted Crotchets at my wedding they are Manchester based and they were great, they play modern music as well as easy listening and classical. My guests really enjoyed the modern music in the drinks reception. We chose to have a trio and have them play for an extra hour as our venue wasn't that big.

Hiya!! I've been looking into get a string quartet too as me and H2B LOVE them!!

Found this link for musical students like the other poster has suggested, but you just send them details and they pass them on to the musicians on their books !!

I haven't tried it myself yet, but have it bookmarked for when we have the money spare for deposit (not getting hitched until 2014!)

Here's the link: http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/

Hope this helps!!

Thank you very much for this.

Would have been good if anyone knew any good quartets and recommended but no one has come bk x

I've found a lot online, but I'm from the Midlands so not helpful to you really ☹️ and obviously I can't recommend any personally!

buttt... By me posting this I'm bumping your thread so that hopefully someone who's had one or knows a good one near you will reply ?

Thank you very much ?

I have booked some students, http://www.murraymusicevents.co.uk/

They are at the Royal Northern College in Manchester, they met us on a sunday morning and performed for us in a practice room the other week...and they were cheaper than the dotted crotchets!
