Lancashire String Quartets
Give your guests the gift of glorious music in the form of a Lancashire string quartet from Bands for Hire, and your event will be forever ingrained in their minds. Classically trained by some of the foremost musicians in the world, we're delighted to be able to offer you the services of local string quartets in Lancashire - whose talents have previously been employed by the likes of the National Symphony Orchestra, Manchester City Football Club, ITV, Shirley Bassey, Peter Gabriel, the Spice Girls and countless other big names - at a highly competitive rate.
Hire a Wedding String Quartet in Lancashire
Just as important as the music to our Lancashire string quartets' performances is their stunning choreography, which contributes a great deal to the overall elegance and grace that lends itself so well to wedding processions and wedding receptions - especially to such key moments as the first notes of the Bridal Chorus by Wagner or Pachelbel's Canon in D striking up. The professionalism and sheer class of our recommended string quartets in Lancashire would also work wonders for any garden party, graduation, awards ceremony, private dinner function, drinks reception, charity or corporate event.
Lancashire Wedding Duos and Trios
Our flexible and accommodating string quartets in Lancashire are fully aware that while every event deserves to be approached with the same professionalism and care, budget and venue requirements can vary quite widely. Therefore, they can by prior arrangement forgo the traditional formation of two violins, a viola and a cello, and appear instead as string duos, string trios or string ensembles - small orchestras which can feature 8 or more musicians.
Your guests may well be surprised to learn of the diversity within our Lancashire string quartets' set lists. Admittedly, there is a distinct classical flavour pervading each carefully arranged piece, but alongside Bach, Beethoven and Brahms you'll hear the Beatles, Ben E King and Bruno Mars. Their repertoires consist of such diverse classics as Viva La Vida by Coldplay, This Is the One by the Stone Roses, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, plus numerous TV, movie and musical themes from Psycho, Harry Potter, Fawlty Towers, Aladdin, Thunderbirds and the Sound of Music. These are often interspersed with dance numbers, such as waltzes and tangos, as well as various Latin, operatic arias, Bollywood, traditional and Celtic folk compositions. Please let us know of your preferences and requirements, and feel free to send us any queries.

The Bands For Hire service was very prompt and efficient. I specifically chose Olympia Ensemble as I loved their modern, fresh sound and the wide range of music that they offered. Some quartets are 'stuffy' and old fashioned - not Olympia Ensemble! Everything was perfect from start to finish - they gave us a huge range of music, from classical, jazz and pop, there was something for everyone.
