Premiere String Quartet can help create the perfect musical accompaniment for the special day, from pre-ceremony music to the drinks reception and wedding breakfast, setting the ideal ambiance. Premiere String Quartet The Premiere String Quartet offers expert services to create the perfect musical accompaniment for any special event. From pre-ceremony music to the drinks reception and wedding breakfast, the quartet ensures the ideal ambiance with a carefully curated musical backdrop. With many years of experience working closely with couples and their families, the quartet is skilled in selecting a music program that suits the occasion perfectly. They offer a vast repertoire selection and are happy to provide suggestions or allow clients to choose from an extensive library. Bespoke Arrangements To make the event even more memorable, the quartet offers the option to create a bespoke arrangement of a client’s chosen piece for a small additional fee. This service is particularly beneficial for songs that do not have existing string quartet arrangements, ensuring that every detail of the wedding music is personalised and unique. Experience and Flexibility With extensive experience in the music profession, the Premiere String Quartet is dedicated to making the event planning process as smooth as possible. Their flexibility allows them to adapt to any situation, and they take pride in offering a high level of professionalism throughout. Clients can book directly through the contact page to arrange a wedding string quartet performance. For smaller budgets or venues with limited space, the string duo or trio offers an excellent alternative to the full quartet. Why Choose Premiere String Quartet? The Premiere String Quartet boasts a wealth of experience from top-tier London orchestras, performing at a wide range of events, and playing in pop and film sessions. With over a decade of expertise, clients can be confident in the high standards of planning, professionalism, and performance. The quartet’s extensive repertoire is available to view, and they are always eager to learn new pieces for events, customising arrangements for most songs to meet clients' needs. Event Planning Assistance From the initial planning stages to the live performance, clients will receive personalised, professional service without the involvement of agents. The Premiere String Quartet specialises in weddings and corporate events, offering a tailored experience for each client. They are also available for recording sessions as soloists, duos, trios, quartets, or full string sections. About the String Trio They have had an overwhelming interest in their other ensembles, Premiere Trio and Premiere Duo. Maybe you feel that a string quartet would be too powerful a sound for your event or the space is slightly limited. The String Trio is made up of violin, viola and cello so you have the same range of sound as a string quartet but with one less instrument so all registers are covered. They have a large repertoire for all combinations. Their trio repertoire is basically the same as the quartet (which you can find on their website) with a couple of exceptions but most of the pieces work well for the trio. Thanks to their research in obtaining music and their own special arrangements they have a large repertoire for these ensembles. About the String Duo The String Duo can be made up of different combinations – violin and cello, viola and cello (their favourite!) or even 2 cellos. People are surprised when they realise they can still walk down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D played live without having a full string quartet. Not all venues are able to cope with the space required for a string quartet. Also with a smaller number of guests a string quartet is sometimes not necessary, you can be pleasantly surprised to hear how the trio and duo can project. If you had a particular piece in mind that is not on their list then they can look into finding it or making a classical duo arrangement for you. Service Areas The Premiere String Quartet is based in South London and serves the following areas: Berkshire Buckinghamshire Cambridgeshire Dorset Essex Kent Hampshire Hertfordshire London Norfolk Suffolk Oxfordshire Surrey Sussex The quartet is also available for performances outside these areas on occasion.
