FAQ

how much do you charge?

please drop us a quick enquiry as prices depend on location and how far we have to travel

CAN YOU PERFORM OUTSIDE?

Yes of course we can.
because our instruments are quite valuable, if we are required to play outside we would need to keep the instruments under cover to protect them from the various weather elements and other potential outdoor risks. for this reason we have introduced a gazebo option to Hire for a small extra fee which covers its hire, labour & travel costs. If there is cover at your venue or you can provide the cover then our gazebo option won’t be needed.

Are you able to move from one room to another?

Yes, we certainly can move from one area to another. it take us approximately 5 - 10 minutes to do so

can you travel between the church & the venue?

YES absolutely we can

What do you require on the day?

The only thing we would need please is 4 armless chairs from the venue, because we normally perform sat down

- if you book us for less than 4 hours, we would not require any food or refreshments. although it is up to you if you wish to arrange something for us.

- If you book us for more than 5 hours, we would kindly ask if you could arrange some supplier meals for us. We tend to take a small break for food half way through the day. We understand that sometimes this is not possible, so we would be absolutely fine if this requirement cannot be met. Please do let us know either way so we can prepare accordingly.

if you book us for 1.5 hours or less, we do not take any breaks. otherwise if you book us for 2 hours and above we tend to take a 5 min break every hour

what are the instruments in a string quartet?

2 violins, 1 viola & 1 cello

are you able to accompany a vocalist or an instrumentalist on the day?

Yes, we can fulfil this request, but it is essential for us to establish communication with the other artist prior to the wedding to finalise the selection of music and arrangement details. Additionally, we would require to rehearse on the day the piece. If an additional rehearsal on a different day is necessary, please be advised that a nominal extra fee will incur.

can you accompany the hymns?

For hymn music, an organ is a classic instrument that delivers a powerful and resonant sound, significantly louder than a quartet and enhancing the overall experience of group singing within the sacred space. However, if you prefer a different musical direction, our quartet is adept at performing hymns with grace and elegance, offering a beautiful alternative for your church services.
