Marino Strings are a highly-trained and dynamic group of string performers available for hire at weddings, parties and corporate events as a string duo, string trio or full quartet. We mainly perform at venue locations within London and Surrey, however we will also travel to events in neighbouring counties such as Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxford, Essex and West Sussex, so if you are unsure please make your enquiry. We may still be able to accommodate you if you are further afield and we ask that you please do message directly for your personalised quotation.
We provide all our own instruments and music on the day and can dress according to your event specifications (we would usually wear all blue or all black.)
With prices starting from as little as just £260 (based on the price for a violinist and cellist/string duo), we cater for all budget options and can be hired as a variety of instrumental combinations - in the past we have performed as a piano trio, string sextet (6 players) etc so we are happy to bring in external musicians. We can arrange any piece of music that you desire - nothing is out of our reach and potential.
