Check out our extensive repertoire and if you have any other songs you'd like the group to perform for you, get in touch and we'll see what we can do!
We perform completely acoustically and are able to entertain your guests indoors or outdoors, provided there is suitable cover.
We usually ensemble perform as a quartet but we are also available as a trio or duo, depending on space and budget.
For weddings, we can entertain your guests for 30 minutes before the ceremony, and then perform music for the procession and recession of the bride and the signing of the register.
You can also have us stay for longer to entertain your guests for your indoors or outdoors cocktail hour and beyond!
The string quartet is the most popular and classic ensemble, possessing a diverse repertoire.
A perfectly balanced range of instruments; the quartet can entertain the whole party or subtly blend into the surroundings, adding an extra sparkle to the atmosphere.
A string trio is perfect for where space might be limited. A smaller group of just three players, our string trio can provide ample entertainment with much of our quartet repertoire also working perfectly well for trio.
If you would prefer something more unique, a string duo may be what you are looking for.
A combination of either two violins or a violin and cello presents a more intimate feel and again, frees up more room for your guests to enjoy your event.
Our repertoire for string duo covers a wide range of genres, from Classical to Klezmer, Salsa and other styles from around the world.
So if you're looking to hire the finest wedding string quartet London has to offer, get in touch with Utopia Strings.
