Christmas Party Ideas - String Quartet?

By vaughan • October 25, 2009 • Posted in: Functions and Events

For some of us, it’s rather alarming to see tinsel and packs of Christmas cards appearing in the shops by late October, but for those planning Christmas parties or Corporate Hospitality over the festive season, this is about the time that attention starts to focus on booking entertainers and other suppliers.

For people looking to hire a string quartet for a Christmas party, there are several possibilities – whether to lend a touch of class to an event by organising a private pre-dinner recital for guests, or to simply have high quality background music played during a meal or drinks reception. Many people have found that a tasteful programme of Christmas music (including anything from Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’ to ‘Silent Night’) really helps to create a festive ambiance. Others go for upbeat choices to get the party started – with a professional string quartet creating a real talking point at any party.

When it comes to Christmas concerts, dimming the lighting and illuminating the musicians with candle-light creates an intimate, shared atmosphere where the music can take on an almost magical quality – of course, serving mulled wine and mince pies in the interval also goes down well.

Even weddings near Christmas can take on a festive feel, with bridal couples requesting carols as part of their ceremony or reception music – and hiring a string duo to perform at a seasonal lunch or dinner party is a sure way to enchant guests and make the occasion really memorable.
