String Quartet
"I give full marks with no absolutely no hesitation! Jill assembled a string quartet for our wedding to play the classics that I love. The playing was exquisitely beautiful, top-notch and everything I could have wanted. She even played favourite pieces of mine that the quartet had never played before, when I had scores arranged for her and the other musicians. The music was a highlight of a beautiful day, and had everyone glowing and talking. Jill was very professional and reassured me many times when I had questions or concerns (she has done hundreds of weddings and it shows!!)
I plan to hire Jill again when if/when we renew our vows, and would not hesitate to have her play any event where world-class strings are needed. Fantastic!!"
A string quartet consists of two violins, viola and cello. This combination has been considered the ideal string ensemble for centuries. The sound is rich and full and is perfect for a wedding of any size. Do you have your heart set on a song that doesn't appear in the list?
