Isabelle Massart-Weit-Hill8 Jul 2023
Stretto String Quartet are absolutely brilliant and we were delighted with the service provided at our wedding. We particularly appreciated the responsiveness of our main point of contact Dan.
Stretto played prior to our ceremony, during the ceremony and during the champagne reception.
We got to select the music we wanted and it was all performed beautifully. We also had a piece of music specifically arranged for our day, which the quartet learned and performed wonderfully on our wedding day.
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music as well. Really pleased, so thank you.

Alison, the leader of The Brook Trio & Alisonsams, was amazing and her colleagues were also wonderful. I could not have been happier of the result. They made my wedding day perfect and my wife loved the surprise. Alison made sure with her professionalism that the surprise was completed with her support in arranging for 3 special songs (2 from Bridgeton and 1 from Twilight) to make my bride live her musical dream. Thank you Alison and The Brook Trio & Alisonsams.
Highly recommended!!!

We had two of the Quartet play for us at a formal work event in September. They were fantastic and provided the perfect background music for our drinks reception. A great choice of music too.

String Quartet Hire in Birmingham: Your Clear-Cut Guide
Looking to give your Birmingham event instant class without the faff? A string quartet does the job beautifully. Four players, a tidy footprint, and suddenly the room feels curated. From canalside warehouses to grand civic halls, strings bring warmth and sophistication that guests notice the moment they walk in.
When a Quartet Hits the Right Note in Brum
Birmingham’s calendar is busy and varied, which is exactly where strings shine:
Weddings that want romance during the aisle walk and fizz during the drinks hour
Large conferences and awards dinners where polish matters from the first course
University events that need feel-good anthems without drowning conversation
Multicultural celebrations that blend traditions with style
Christmas parties that call for festive sparkle and familiar classics
Spaces That Suit Strings Around the City
Grand civic halls
High ceilings love acoustic instruments. Plan short sets around speeches so the flow stays smooth.
Conference venues
Ideal for pre-dinner receptions and scene-setting as guests take their seats.
Canalside warehouses
Characterful and open. Consider a compact PA so detail carries across the room.
Hotels
Perfect for ceremony nooks, drinks in the foyer, and elegant background during dinner.
Botanical and garden venues
Gorgeous in daylight. Provide shade, flat ground, and a quick indoor Plan B if the weather turns.
Pick a Musical Direction
Birmingham quartets are flexible and fast on their feet. Popular choices include:
Classical crossover for ceremony moments that feel timeless
Bollywood and Western fusion for multicultural line-ups that celebrate both sides
Motown and soul arrangements for upbeat receptions with plenty of sway
Festive repertoires for December dates that need a little sparkle
A smart running order starts gentle as guests arrive, adds a cinematic lift before dinner, then lands on pop, soul, or Bollywood favourites once the chatter gets lively.
Typical Prices
Most Birmingham bookings sit between £500 and £950. Your fee depends on:
Total performance time and number of sets
Peak dates, travel, and early access for sound checks
Bespoke arrangements for special songs
Light amplification for larger rooms or open-plan spaces

Cost-savvy tip: confirm your must-play list early and group sets around key moments to maximise music within your booked time.
How To Plan It, Step by Step
Map the key cues
Aisle walk, register signing, drinks, dinner, awards walk-ups, first course.
Choose the palette
Select one main theme, then add two or three signature tracks that feel personal.
Check the footprint
About 2 m by 3 m, four armless chairs, decent light. Outdoors needs shade and stable flooring.
Decide on acoustic or amplified
Warehouses and big halls benefit from a small PA. Hotels and civic rooms often work acoustically.
Share timings early
Allow 30 minutes for set-up and tuning, then short breaks between sets.
Align attire
Smart black or formal evening wear keeps things cohesive. If you have a theme, say so.
Add a custom touch
A Bollywood entrance, a Motown recessional, or a bespoke arrangement of your favourite track.
Ceremony Music That Lands Cleanly
Processional
Pick something steady and lyrical that matches your walking pace.
Signing
Two or three gentle pieces while photos happen.
Recessional
A confident, brighter choice to trigger applause and set the tone for drinks.
Share aisle length and pacing with the players so they can time entries and endings perfectly.
Reception Sets That Glide
Think in arcs rather than fixed genres:
Arrival
Light classical crossover or chilled lounge textures.
Pre-dinner lift
Cinematic themes or string renditions of Northern favourites.
Post-dessert
Motown and soul arrangements, a hint of Bollywood energy, or a run of modern pop covers.
If speeches pop up, the quartet pauses, resets, and rolls on without fuss.
Birmingham Logistics Made Easy
Access and parking
Some city-centre load-ins need lift codes or limited bays. Share details early.
Sound policies
Conference and heritage spaces may cap volume. A quartet can work within those rules.
Weather sense
Instruments dislike rain and direct sun. Terraces need shade and a backup plan.
Power
Only required for light amplification.
Insurance
Professional quartets carry public liability cover. Certificates available on request.
