The Ardeton String Quartet have been playing for weddings since 2001 and, realising that every wedding is unique, specialise in bespoke wedding music solutions. Unlike most quartets we don't work on an 'hourly rate' - weddings rarely run to time, and we don't want you to be watching the clock on your special day. Therefore we have put together some simple packages for various parts of your day. This means that if you would like us to play for your drinks reception, we will play for the whole of your drinks reception regardless of its duration. We are also aware that every wedding is planned to a different budget. With packages starting at £440 (less than the average cost of a cake), there's something for every budget.

Whilst we hope you will find what you are looking for in one of the packages below, we are always happy to fit with any special timings or ideas you have, so please feel free to discuss anything different with us
