Manchester String Quartets
You and your guests will be in for a splendid evening when you book one of Bands for Hire's string quartets in Manchester. We've carefully selected our acts from the very best musical ensembles in the country – fantastic musicians who have performed at the Royal Albert Hall, in West End musicals, live on BBC Radio and for megastars such as Peter Gabriel and Shirley Bassey. Available now at a very competitive rate, you too can witness the flawless musicianship and impeccable harmony that only true masters of the art can achieve.
Hire a Wedding String Quartet in Manchester
Our Manchester string quartets do have a tendency to diversify when it comes to song choices, so you can rest assured that each one of your guests will find something they love. As incongruous as some of their sets may seem, every piece is nonetheless equally recognisable - they can segue from Debussy's Claire de Lune into Tom Jones's It's Not Unusual in a heartbeat.
Some other non-traditional artists and composers our string quartets in Manchester have been known to cover are rock bands Guns 'n' Roses, the Ramones, Led Zeppelin, the Doors and the Killers, pop and dance sensations Calvin Harris, Jessie J and Madonna and themes from films, television and musicals like E.T., Dad's Army, Cats!, Star Wars and Harry Potter. There'll still be plenty of Beethoven, Handel, Bach and Vivaldi, as well as a selection of Celtic and traditional folk, operatic arias, tangos and jazz standards to boot.
Thanks in no small part to the glorious renditions of Wagner's Bridal Chorus and Pachelbel's Canon in D for which our string quartets in Manchester are renowned, they're frequently hired to play at wedding breakfasts and wedding receptions, but they'll also go down a storm at other events like graduations, garden parties, awards ceremonies, private dinner functions, birthday parties, drinks receptions, corporate and charity events. Feel free to send us any queries, and we'll help you find the ideal Manchester string quartet to suit your event.
Manchester Wedding Duos and Trios
Whether your event is to take place in Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan or parts beyond, Bands for Hire can supply it with a highly skilled Manchester string quartet. Alternatively, if your budget, venue or audience size doesn't warrant an entire quartet, our flexible and accommodating musicians can with due notice arrange to perform as string duos, string trios or string ensembles instead. While the quartet is the proven pinnacle in terms of fullness of sound, our Manchester string quartets are more than capable of making more with less – you'll still get to hear a wonderfully varied set of classical and contemporary tunes.

The Bands For Hire service was very prompt and efficient. I specifically chose Olympia Ensemble as I loved their modern, fresh sound and the wide range of music that they offered. Some quartets are 'stuffy' and old fashioned - not Olympia Ensemble! Everything was perfect from start to finish - they gave us a huge range of music, from classical, jazz and pop, there was something for everyone.
