A string quartet is a classic choice for a whole host of events. As
well as that, it can be a fantastic backing for the recording or live
gig of a band or singer/songwriter.
Not being that loud, an acoustic string quartet is ideal for smaller
events including champagne receptions, weddings ceremonies and wedding
receptions, dinner parties, corporate entertainment evenings, events
in art galleries, soirees, cocktail parties, smaller outdoor events,
university graduation ceremonies and private parties.
Liquid Strings string quartets for hire are available from an assortment of professional string players, who have known and worked with each other for several years.

"It went really well thanks. The music was brilliant - everyone commented on how great the musicians were and how much they enjoyed hearing them play. We even had people who were eating at the restaurant along the terrace come along and say how much they liked the music. It really made a difference to the day."

"Your music was an integral part of our ceremony and we could not have wished for a more professional performance. Nearly every guest commented to me personally that your quartet added a degree of elegance and refinery to the day that complemented and enhanced our special occasion. This is something with which both my wife and I entirely agree. Our treasured memories of the day will be richer for your delightful music.
Please accept our sincerest thanks and pass on our feelings to your excellent musicians."
