String musicians & ensembles
Add a touch of the sublime to your event’s soundtrack.
For an event that exudes class and sends guests away with the sense of being a part of something truly special, explore our roster of classical string quartets, contemporary string bands and even soloists, duos and trios for hire.
Musical excellence for every event
When you want music to take centre stage, a dynamic and modern string performance can be a show-stopping highlight. And when you’re looking for the perfect background ambience, our string quartets, violinists and harpists for hire are all experts in setting the tone without overpowering the main event.
For a wedding ceremony, the romantic tones of a string quartet can infuse your most important memories with an unforgettable layer of heart and soul. Our wedding quartets will provide the perfect soundtrack to your special day, whether you’re seeking simple, classical strings to accompany you down the aisle or would like an ongoing schedule of contemporary love songs played throughout the day.
For corporate events, a vibrant string ensemble or electric orchestra can provide a sophisticated, professional backdrop that is ideal for a drinks reception or a gala dinner. We offer LED violinists to dazzle and delight with a visual spectacle to complement your music, or you can keep it traditional with an inimitable harpist who has played for guests as prestigious as HRH Prince of Wales.
“Whether someone is hiring a string quartet for their wedding or a solo violinist for a networking event, we’re passionate about the power of entertainment to transform that celebration into something truly extraordinary.”
Says Euphonica founder, Dan Savidge.
“We work to understand the unique vision that each of our clients has for their event, and we’ll work backwards from there to make sure every detail is perfectly aligned.”
World-renowned string musicians, the Euphonica way
Our electric string quartet has played alongside the likes of Adele and Mariah Carey, while our lounge orchestra – available in arrangements from trio through to eight-piece – is so sought-after, its string musicians have even played for the royal family at Buckingham Palace.
Spanning contemporary pop, jazz, soul and traditional classic offerings, our directory of string instrumentalists for hire is as diverse as our client base, allowing us to offer the ideal match for your event no matter what the style and theme. And, with more than 3,000 performances behind us and a flawless attendance record to shout about, you can relax knowing that your entertainment is in safe hands when you hire your string band or musician through Euphonica.
Of course, our musical offering doesn’t stop at strings. If you’re looking for inspiration, or plan to include a range of musicians and performances at your next event, why not explore our live bands, world music and professional singers?

How much does it cost to hire a string quartet, trio or duo in the UK?
Costs vary depending on how many performers you’re looking to book, and the details of your event and musical requirements. Performance lengths, venue location and custom music requests can all play a part – with prices differing between bookings for a single short performance versus ongoing background music throughout a longer event.
To get an accurate estimate, get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements and the style and tone you’re looking for. They’ll outline the best options for a range of budgets.
Do string quartets come with a conductor?
Unlike concert hall orchestras, our string quartets don’t require a conductor to provide you with a flawless performance. We work with exceptionally talented, experienced musicians who use close collaboration and subtle communication – such as eye contact and body language – to maintain perfect timing and unbeatable sound throughout their performance.
