Services Offered

Every performance is planned according to your vision for the big day. The band will discuss the musical lineup with you, ensuring you and your guests have a wonderful experience. Guests can also make song requests during the reception. All they have to do is scan a QR code that will be provided for the occasion. The band also has a special set called 'Kings Play Queen', which is an hour-long set featuring the best of the band, Queen. If you provide this musical crew with four chairs and some water, they will take care of the rest.

Brilliant string quartet

Kings String Quartet played at our wedding and I can’t fault them! They were so talented, kind and really engaging, taking fun requests from my friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, it was a really lovely experience and created the perfect atmosphere for the perfect day!

Amazing quartet for our wedding

Dan and the string quartet played at our wedding in August and they were fantastic. Dan was responsive, had an amazing repertoire and nothing was too much. A lot of our guests were really impressed. They even had a tablet setup so that people could make requests. Thank you, we loved having you at our special day!

Wedding ceremony and reception music

King’s string quartet provided the music for both our wedding ceremony and reception and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience.

The music was absolutely beautiful and created a magical atmosphere. A selection of classical and popular songs were played, which we had been able to select beforehand. King’s string quartet even learnt a song not on their repertoire for our day. Walking into our wedding ceremony to some of our favourite music added a deeply personal touch to the day. From the ceremony to the garden reception the music was elegant and emotive.

One of the highlights was that our guests got to make song requests which added a fun interactive element to the day and everyone truly loved it.

Overall we couldn’t have asked for more from King’s string quartet. Their professionalism and talent made them a stand out part of our wedding and we are grateful for the joy they brought to us all.

Excellent team

We had kings string quartet play at our wedding in Herefordshire and they were fantastic. They were very professional and were even kind enough to learn a song for me walking down the aisle which had sentimental value to me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quartet

Incredible!

would like to add to their profile:
"I am so happy that we booked the Kings String Quartet for my wedding! They performed at my civil ceremony and during the canapés and added a huge magical touch to the day. My guests absolutely loved them and I have received so many messages saying how wonderful they were. They were able to play all the songs that I had requested and even some more! I’m very grateful that they were able to extend the booking by half an hour after I had paid the deposit. Communication was spot on from the get go and my emails were always responded to quickly! Thank you for making our day so magical and brining our vision to reality. I could not recommend you enough 10/10!"
