THE GWE STRING DUO, TRIO & QUARTET
(Duo: Two Violins, Trio: Violin, Viola & Cello.)

The GWE quartet is the String Quartet with a difference. Its unrivalled classical to contemporary repertoire, equally at home playing Bach, Mozart, Gershwin, Oasis and Blur, makes us the ideal complement to any occasion. With a fully professional approach, backed by over 20 years of experience, and that comes at a price to suit every pocket.

Having now performed at over one thousand weddings in its eighteen-year history, they have the experience and expertise to provide for so important an event. They understand that this is your special day, and that our music will add that finishing touch to create the perfect atmosphere of a truly wonderful occasion.

The quartet’s uniquely extensive repertoire stretches from Vivaldi to the Verve. An entirely classical approach is often popular, as is a preference for completely modern pop and rock music. A mixture of all styles, from Baroque through Opera, Jazz and Musicals to recent hits is also available. You will almost certainly find that favourite number to make your wedding truly personal, but in the unlikely event that your tune is not already in our playlist, we can arrange it especially for the occasion.

If you require the quartet to play for your ceremony, they can give you specialist advice on the music to be played while your guests are assembling, the bride’s entrance, the signing of the register and the recessional. If you have chosen to have a traditional church wedding, we also have the ability to accompany hymns you may have selected.

The GWE String Quartet can also work as a Duo or Trio but are only able to cover classical music in these line-ups.
