Wedding Packages

Below are wedding packages that we offer. Please enquire about prices and our hourly rates as they vary depending on location and requirements.

For those who are worried about time limits, and we understand that wedding days never run exactly to plan, we have created a number of packages to suit your needs.

Package One
Service and Drinks reception Package

:: Service – as guests arrive (at least half an hour before expected beginning of service)
:: Bridal entrance
:: During signing of register
:: Bride and groom exit
:: Drinks reception - light and relaxing music to accompany the Champagne . (Approx 45mins)

Package Two
Reception Package

::We will be set up and playing at your drinks reception venue once the service is over. We will then move to your dining area and accompany your meal with relaxing repertoire until the serving of coffee.

Package Three
Day Package

This package ensures that you have the ambience of the classical string quartet throughout your special day. It is a combination of package one and two and it ensures a variety of styles of music. (It is also cheaper than booking us per hour, for what could be up to 5 hours of our time).

:: Service – Classical and Baroque repertoire including all the wedding favourites
:: Drinks reception – More Jazzy and up beat works as you celebrate your occasion with champagne.
:: Meal – Lighter, more relaxing romantic pieces to accompany the meal.

We will begin 20mins before start of service as the guests arrive and we will end once the coffee is served at the end of the meal. During the day we will take 3 short (10min) breaks and one longer break (half an hour) - when some light refreshments would be greatly appreciated.

Please don't hesitate to email us for a quote for each package.
