Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long do you normally play for a wedding ceremony?A. Our minimum booking is two hours and this is usually enough to cover a wedding ceremony and an hour or so after for the pre-reception drinks.

Q. How far in advance do we need to book you?
A. You can book us up to a year in advance, but we do get busy. If you want to secure our quartet early booking is recommended.
Q. How much do you cost?
A. Our minimum booking (2 hours) is £550 inclusive of travel expenses and set-up time.
Q. What sort of music do you play?
A. We play Bach through to James Bond. We can play a mixture of classical and light music or you can specify if you would rather we play one or the other.
