The Wedding String Quartet began playing together in January 2006 whilst studying at St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh. Since then they have gone on to train at the prestigious Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester where they have regularly been providing music for events and weddings throughout the North-West ever since. Some of our recent clients include the NHS, Triangle Shopping Centre, Jimi Goodwin of ‘Doves’, Boots and Channel M.
Their goal and passion has been to work hard, provide top quality entertainment, and make sure their music is the perfect accompaniment to your event.
Testimonials
“As a wedding and event manager, I am always looking for the best service providers to present to my clients and when i was recently asked for a string quartet, I was struggling to find one nearby who were up to my demanding standards. The Wedding String Quartet certainly lived up to, and maybe even surpassed, my expectations following the clips I’d heard.
I was instantly struck by the friendliness of Amy’s response to my initial enquiry and when i finally met her and the others on the day of the wedding, I found them to be charming, calm and confident. They immediately settled down and started playing a delightful and varied repertoire. The wedding guests loved the music, and in fact opened up an additional door on the marquee in order that they could hear it better. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Wedding String Quartet, and hope to work with them again in future.”
