Bedfordshire Wedding – String Duo at Moggerhanger Park
On Saturday, Ali and myself performed as a string duo (consisting of a violin and cello) for a wedding held at Moggerhanger Park in North Bedfordshire. Although many couples opt for the larger sound of a wedding string quartet, often a string duo can be a more appropriate option for intimate weddings with fewer guests [...]
Buckinghamshire String Quartet for a Wedding at Notley Tythe Barn
On Saturday, a couple hired the string quartet to play for their wedding, held at Notley Tythe Barn which is near Aylesbury. As we are a Buckinghamshire string quartet, this is an incredibly local venue to us and we have performed there many times as a wedding string quartet and a string duo. We played [...]
Music for Spring weddings….

Venues who only recommend agencies….
A couple of weeks ago (as a New Year’s resolution!), we started getting in touch with all the wedding venues most local to us where we play regularly (in many cases for several weddings or functions every year.) Often on a wedding venue website or kept in a folder at the venue, there is a [...]
Buckinghamshire String Quartet for a Wedding at Stoke Place, Buckinghamshire
On New Years Eve, we returned to Stoke Place as a string quartet to play for an afternoon wedding. New Years Eve weddings have always been popular but can be expensive, with many string quartets (and other wedding suppliers) choosing to double their fees. We don’t do that as our fees reflect the quality and variety [...]

Summer is A’Coming In – Ivinghoe Church
On Saturday 26th May we performed a string quartet concert entitled ‘Summer Is A’ Coming In’ (after the title of the well known English traditional song).
