Where do you need a String Quartet?
FAQ about hiring a String Quartet
On average, string quartets cost $800-$900 for 1 hour. The price will vary depending on your location, the performance length, and the quartet’s experience level. String quartets provide a beautiful, full sound that is unmatched. However, if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, consider booking a string trio or classical duo.
When searching for the perfect string quartet for your event, be sure to watch videos or listen to audio samples to see if you like the quality of their music. Then you want to look at reviews from past clients. Reading honest feedback from other planners that have worked with the musicians first-hand will give you a clearer picture of what it will be like to work with them yourself. You should also learn about their experience – How long have they been performing? How many events have they booked before? Have they performed at events similar to yours?
On GigSalad, string quartets are most commonly booked for one hour. However, most musicians can accommodate events of all lengths. Just keep in mind that for longer events, you should allow for 10-15 minute breaks every 30-45 minutes for the performers.
When and where you have live music depends on the schedule and flow of the event. If you hire a string quartet for a wedding, they might play the entrance music for the wedding party and bride. Or perhaps they will perform during the cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. String music is also great for background music while guests mingle before dinner or main activities begin at corporate events or holiday parties.
String quartets are normally classically trained and well versed in a variety of classical pieces. However, this is not the only style of music they perform! String musicians often perform a wide range of music including pop, country, jazz, and even classic rock songs. Prior to booking, be sure to let the string quartet know what kind of sound you’re looking for and review any setlists they might have.
String quartets are often arranged in a semi-circle, with their instruments, music stands, and sometimes chairs. In order to accommodate this setup, you should allow a minimum of 8x8 feet of performance space.
