About / Biography

Looking for dazzling live music for your wedding ceremony or celebration? πŸ₯‚πŸ’•

Hi! πŸ‘‹πŸΌ We’re the Artume String Quartet - we’ve been performing together for over 6 years, and training individually as professional musicians for 20+ years. We want to help you make your wedding day extra special, and guarantee an exceptional and moving performance - there's often not a dry eye in the room! 🎻

With beautiful music and a friendly set of faces, we can help elevate your special day by adding that "something extra"! πŸ₯° From your favourite classical pieces to the latest hits, we have all your musical needs covered. We’re always adding to our repertoire list, and with currently over 700 pieces of music to choose from, we have something for everyone.

Your bridal entrance, cake cutting and first dance are all stand-out moments, and we can help you make those memories even sweeter by picking the perfect soundtrack. The music you choose for these moments can help set the tone for your day too, so we’d recommend choosing music that means a lot to you both! If we don’t have your special song, please let us know and we’ll find it for you. 🎢

We love performing unique and interesting music for clients - we’ve played brides down the aisle with the Jurassic Park theme and Legend of Zelda, and performed the Game of Thrones theme to usher guests into the wedding breakfast. As you can see, anything goes - traditional or out there, we’d love to make your wedding day stand out! πŸ’–

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our instruments and equipment.

We are unable to provide spotify/DJ in between - often the venue will play music via their sound system during our short breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We performed for the Royal Television Society Awards in 2017 at Birmingham Town Hall, and had an amazing time!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We love so many different artists, it's hard to choose just one! Some of our favourite songs to play include Accidentally In Love (Counting Crows), Anti-Hero (Taylor Swift), and Rasputin (Boney-M).


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started performing together at university in 2015 and have played at hundreds of weddings, concerts and events since then.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We absolutely love performing concerts and often play for the Candlelight Concerts in Birmingham - there's something so special about playing a whole programme through for an audience hooked on every note! We love weddings too, the interactions with guests are super fun and we love the variety of music we get to play.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

30 minutes prior to start of booking


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to play outside as long as it's warm enough (if our fingers get too cold it's difficult to play our instruments!), but require shelter and a flat, level surface.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We allow our clients total freedom over what we play - you can choose a personalised set list from our repertoire of over 700 songs and pieces. If that's too overwhelming though, we are able to put together a set list based on your preferences. Just let us know!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our clients typically say that we made their wedding or event super memorable. They love that we can perform a huge variety of styles and take special requests!
