Giardino Strings is a distinguished ensemble composed of highly regarded professional musicians who have played extensively in concert halls across Europe. The group specialises in professional music engagements, weddings, proposals, corporate and Bollywood events, parties and Jewish celebrations including Bar Mitzvahs and Jewish weddings. The group is especially versatile and can perform as a solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, octet or chamber orchestra depending on your request or budget requirements. The group’s repertoire of strings arrangements is one of the largest in the UK ranging from classical to jazz, pop, soul, Bollywood, folk, Jewish and Israeli. The group can also arrange your favourite playlists to be performed at your special event if not already in their extensive collection.
The quartet was absolutely fantastic, could not rate them highly enough. All very talented, professional and was amazing to have them out our event.
"I would like to say a big thank you to David and his musicians from Giardino Strings, who made our function memorable. They accommodated our special requests and were simply put terrific on the evening. I highly recommend them, and they are at the top of our list for future events. Thank you so much!!
I would also like to thank Paige from PopTop, who made the whole process of booking a band for our function very easy, even though our organisation's payment methods are antiquated and awkward.
Thank you all very much!!"
Giardino Strings were fantastic for our event. Professional and accommodating throughout, we would hire them again in an instant.
"Absolutely Amazing, I would love to book them again just for myself to listen too. being the groom at the wedding we didn't get the chance to listen as much as we would have liked. the compliments from our guests were lovely and i believe there will be some couples booking them in the future.
As for the individuals in the band, such lovely people
Thank you for making our day that little bit more special.
Stephen and Lorena"
We used Giardino strings for our evening candle lit Christmas wedding service a couple of weeks ago and to say they made it magical would be an understatement ...David was professional to deal with, worth every penny and both he and his partner were fantastically talented. They required very little input from me other than the song choices and played unaccompanied throughout the whole service. I wanted a very old Victorian style wedding and they made it for me...sheer class and memorable to say the least...hire them without hesitation!!
Approximately 3m x 2m for the perfect layout. A string trio will take up slightly less room, lengthwise, than a string quartet, because there is one less player.
Giardino Strings performs extensively at all of the major venues throughout London, the South East and South West of England. Queries for engagements outside of these areas are welcomed but may be subject to travel expenses.
Our minimum booking during the summer months is for two hours as this is our busiest time of year. Enquiries for shorter bookings are welcomed as we are often able to accommodate clients requirements for shorter engagements.
Traveling between venues is not a problem at all, and if necessary would be done within the total time period that you book us for.
Yes! Giardino Strings offers a music arrangement service for pieces which have not previously been published for string quartet.
