About these String Quartets & EnsemblesIdeal for wedding ceremonies and corporate events, a string quartet or ensemble is one of the most versatile forms of live classical music. Before booking a string quartet, you should take the time to consider which parts of your wedding you want the string quartet to perform. Soon to be married couples often choose to have a string quartet perform during the wedding ceremony playing the hymns along side the organist. Not only does this add to the sound of the hymns giving it an extra dimension, it will also help rouse a sleepy congregation who may not be quite as forthcoming when singing.
String quartets are also ideal for corporate drinks events or big corporate dinners because of the classy and sophisticated ambience they bring when they perform. By setting the tone for the event, employees will be motivated to network and create new business opportunities. Similarly to a wedding, string quartets will play a mixture of well-known composers as to please everybody attending.
Unlike big bands with drum kits and amplifiers, a string quartet or ensemble have little to no technical requirements. A standard string quartet will need four chairs, refreshments, suitable parking and a space to leave valuable belongings and or equipment.
If possible, book your string quartet or ensemble through an agency as this will help reduce the chances of things going wrong before your event.

Regardless of the style of your event, performances of compositions from famous composers such as Handel, Mozart or Elgar will go down very well with your guests. A professional string quartet or ensemble will create a wonderful atmosphere, making your special day a cut above the rest.
