The quartet can perform for your wedding ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast and they are always on hand to offer music suggestions for the ceremony in particular if this would be of use. Otherwise you are welcome to make your own selections from their wide repertoire including Mozart, Handel, The Verve and The Beatles!
The ensemble offer a string quartet (2 violins, viola and cello) or string trio (violin, viola and cello), the latter being a good option for venues with sound or space restrictions.
