In London, some string quartets offer a trio option consisting of 2 violins and a cello.

When submitting an online inquiry, you can specify your preferences.

Volume considerations at your event

When it comes to your event in London, considering the volume of a live string quartet is essential. With the ability to adjust their performance from quiet to loud, string quartets can create a pleasant and medium volume ranging from 70dB to 85dB. This versatility makes them a suitable choice for venues with sound limiters or noise restrictions. Feel free to consult our Entertainment Coordinators for advice on accommodating string quartets in such instances. For more information about sound limiters check out our guide here

Space considerations at your event

When hiring a string quartet in London, it's important to consider the space requirements. A typical string quartet needs approximately 3 meters wide by 2 meters deep to accommodate the four musicians sitting in a semi-circle with their instruments and music stands, allowing enough room for bowing.

For approximate requirements, see ‘How much space will a string quartet need?’, below.

When it comes to hiring a string quartet in London, prices can vary depending on the quartet's quality, experience, and travel distance to your event. On average, a string quartet costs around £620. For top-billed quartets specialising in corporate events, prices range from £2,200 to £3,500, depending on their level of expertise. To reduce costs, consider choosing a locally-based string quartet.

When hiring a string quartet in London, it is important to provide them with ample space to perform comfortably. The quartet typically sits in a semi-circle, facing the audience, and requires armless chairs and music stands in front of them.
