Surrey String Quartets

Hailing from classical and concert backgrounds, and dressed impeccably to boot, you and your guests will be sonically transported back to an age of grand celebration by our elegant Surrey string ensembles.

Wedding String Quartets in Surrey

An ever-popular choice for wedding processions and wedding receptions, Bands for Hire would also strongly recommend booking a Surrey string quartet for graduations, dinner parties, awards ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate or charity events. The air of charming classiness a Surrey string ensemble is capable of creating is a joyous way to remember your day - and there really is no better way to hear Wagner's Bridal Chorus.

We provide Surrey string quartets for events in Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Leatherhead, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Staines, and Sunbury.

Despite the classical connotations a string quartet may have, you can nevertheless expect one or two surprises. While you may indeed be treated to a beautiful rendition of Strauss' The Blue Danube, our musicians also enjoy performing the surf rock classic "Misirlou," famously used in the opening sequence of Quentin Tarantino's crime thriller, Pulp Fiction. Also included in their extensive repertoires are traditional and folk numbers such as Greensleeves, Londonderry Air and What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor; film and musical themes from Andrew Lloyd Weber's Cats and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Disney's Aladdin, and Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds; and, rock and pop hits penned by the Beatles, the Ramones, the Darkness, Queen and Oasis. Our Surrey string ensembles can achieve the same effect performing such numbers as these as they can playing Bach, Mozart and Schubert.

Surrey String Duos and Trios

Typically, you'll find a cello, a viola and two violins to be the perfect components for a string quartet. Even so, if your budget or venue restrictions wouldn't suit an entire quartet, our Surrey string quartets can, by prior agreement, appear as string duos, string trios or string ensembles. Please contact us with any queries, and we will help you organise the exact string music your event needs.
