”Many thanks for playing so beautifully on Saturday... It was lovely to arrive at Winkworth Farm to hear you playing in the garden - in lovely sunshine! I'm sure our guests enjoyed sipping their drinks to the sounds of your strings!"
"My wife and I wanted to send a big thank you to Saffron Strings for playing at our wedding. All of the music was perfectly played and several of the guests made a point of commenting on how good the quartet were and the exceptional atmosphere it created. In all dealings we had with Saffron Strings we found you to be brilliant and every e-mail we sent in the lead up to the wedding was answered quickly. We have made a point of including a picture of the quartet in our Wedding Photo Album as we will always want to remember the service and performance of Saffron Strings."
Trios & Duos
For more intimate events such as an evening cocktail party or a cosy winter wedding, a duo or trio may be more appropriate. These may also be an affordable option if you would like to have live music for a ceremony only. All our trio and duo music has been specially arranged for these combinations and although the repertoire is a little more limited than for quartet we nevertheless have a wide choice of music for both groups.
Fees
We offer two packages.
Option A at £370 is suitable for a wedding ceremony (playing as your guest gather and as required during the ceremony) or for a cocktail/drinks reception up to 1.5 hours.
Option B at £430 is up to three hours which would usually cover a wedding ceremony and drinks reception at the same venue, or a wedding breakfast/evening banquet.
Our fees range from £370 for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour, to £800 for a 3 hour quartet* booking (usually long enough for a civil ceremony and champagne reception or banquet). Please contact us for a quote giving your event date, venue, and approximate timings for the day.
*We may be able to expand to a trio or quartet on selected dates - please contact us for further information.
