Strettini String Quartet

The Strettini String Quartet are an in-demand ensemble for social events, corporate functions and weddings. They are based in London and regularly perform throughout the UK & overseas.

 

They have a vast repertoire of music to choose from, including pieces by Bach, Mozart and Tschaikovsky, through to their arrangements of modern jazz, rock and pop songs. 

 

They enjoy playing all styles of music, and they will be happy to discuss your musical preferences prior to your event.

 

Among the most recent additions to the regular Strettini Strings repertoire are the latest James Bond theme, as well as songs by Coldplay and Maroon 5, which have been arranged and transcribed for string performances. Together with the other pieces they perform, this allows them cater to a wide range of musical tastes.

 

The members of the Strettini Quartet are professional orchestral musicians and have appeared in the West End, on screen, and in the orchestra pits of Britain's opera houses and theatres.

 

As mentioned, the Strettini Quartet will be happy to discuss your preferences beforehand, both regarding timings and the music peformed - perhaps you would like some classical music for your wedding ceremony or drinks reception, moving to some more modern music later on - let us know and we will be happy to help you with this.

 

Strettini are able to provide smaller line ups for more intimate events too, such as a violin / cello duo, two cellos and also a string trio.

Reviews

 

"I just wanted to say a big thank you to the musicians who played at our wedding last weekend. They did a fantastic job, both during the ceremony and the drinks reception, and we loved the mix of classical and contemporary music that they played. We also had a number of guests comment on how much they enjoyed the music and how good the players were."

- Laura

 

"Thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday, I did not get the opportunity to speak with you before you left but your performance was exactly what we were hoping for and I had a number of people comment afterwards on how much they enjoyed your playing." - Sebastian

 

"I booked Strettini Strings for my wedding and they did not disappoint. We had them play during the welcome drinks and the afternoon tea and so many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Dan who I corresponded with was professional, helpful and very prompt at replying."

- Kirstie

 

"Dan was a pleasure to deal with - he even transcribed a piece of music special to us. Punctuality , appearance and musicianship excellent. Would rebook without hesitation."

- William

 

"One of the best things we did at our wedding was to hire the Strettini Quartet, not only are you wonderful musicians but you were so effortless and professional to deal with. With all the things involved in getting married it’s so nice to deal with people who just get it done (and get it done well!). The amount of people who commented how great you guys were was huge. We absolutely loved having you there. The music for both the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast was nothing but perfect. You truly set the tone for our memorable day and helped to make it such a perfect occasion. I can’t recommend you highly enough, if you want a quartet at your event then none other would be better than the Strettini Quartet."

- Paul
