Whatever function you may be organising, be sure to hire Newcastle’s leading string quartet hire service. Our Newcastle string quartet musicians have performed for numerous wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, anniversaries, business and corporate functions, birthday celebrations and recordings
Whether your function is indoors or outdoors, business or private, hiring a classical string quartet adds a touch of class. From the moment you call or email us, we guarantee to provide you with an outstanding service. We respond to emails quickly and efficiently, and treat all clients with the upmost priority and care. So never hesitate to contact us.
We have a large selection of music to choose from. We perform baroque, classical, romantic, tango, jazz, popular, folk and modern music. We also welcome special requests. If we don’t have the sheet music of your special request, we’ll source and arrange the music for string quartet at no extra cost. This is part of the service we provide

Our string quartet can be hired for any occasion in Newcastle, but most of our clients are brides and grooms. For a wedding ceremony booking, we perform while guests arrive and are seated, during the processional, signing of the register and for the recessional. We also perform while guests exist and even while photos are being taken. Please read our weddings page for more details. We can accompany singers, perform during vows, and accompany hymns.
We not only perform as a string quartet. We can also provide a trio or a duo for the budget-conscious, or if there is limited space at the venue. We can also provide a solo violin, cello or harp for more intimate occasions.
We’ve satisfied hundreds of clients over the last few years. Please feel free to read our testimonials. We also list our prices on our website, so you can compare the difference in prices between a string quartet, trio, duo or solo. Our prices are also based upon travel time.
We perform all around the Newcastle CBD but also travel up to 4 hours outside Newcastle.
If you have time, please listen to our recordings.
