Weddings

Amethyst Strings have performed live music at numerous wedding ceremonies and receptions where they have gained the experience and flexibility to handle any event with professionalism and reliability, ensuring that your special day is enjoyable and stress-free.

With so many options for the modern-day wedding, Amethyst Strings pride themselves on being able to perform live music to fit into any theme, style or atmosphere that you wish to create.

With a smart, chic and elegant appearance and our unique line-up of two violins and double bass, Amethyst Strings are not only a refreshing and eye-catching alternative to the traditional string quartet but also provide the versatility of any musical style you may wish for.

The music choices for your ceremony can range from traditional timeless classics to more recent hits. Walk down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon and then surprise your guests by exiting the ceremony to Pharrell’s Happy!

Amethyst Strings will then continue to entertain your guests during the reception with a mix of classical, jazz and popular styles as your day unfolds.

We arrange all of the music ourselves and welcome any special requests you might have, no matter how unusual!

So whether you have your heart set on a particular song, or whether you are just looking for some advice, Amethyst Strings are happy to help and will be pleased to discuss the best options for your special day.

For an eye-catching alternative, we can also provide the stunning Amethyst Strings female quintet (4 violins and double bass). This is perfect for larger weddings and a great way to wow your guests!

Amethyst Strings are available on beautiful acoustic instruments and impressive blue electric instruments if required.

For acoustic bookings (without PA or speakers) we normally arrive 45 minutes in advance of the start time to set up. For bookings requiring the PA or sound checks, we arrive at least one hour prior to the start of the performance. We don't charge for set up time.

"Dear Anna, I am so grateful for all of the effort and commitment you and the rest of Amethyst Strings put in to making the music for Dan and my wedding so special. Your performances on the day were beautiful (lots of guests commented excitedly on the contemporary songs you were playing at the cocktail reception!) and I am in love with your arrangement of our first dance song. I wasn’t sure whether to spend the money getting it recorded but I am so glad we did! Thank you for your commitment and focus from beginning to end on understanding what I wanted and bringing it to life. I’ve spent hours practising to this song, and the crescendos in the music still get me every time!"

– Chloe Hanson, 11 December 2023, wedding in Kent
