Elegant Live Music for Smaller Weddings and Events

For weddings and events where space or budget is more limited, Quattro String Quartet also offers a professional string trio.

Made up of violin, viola and cello, the trio provides the warmth and elegance of live strings in a more compact format. It is particularly well suited to smaller ceremonies, intimate receptions and venues where space is restricted.

    A more compact setup

    The trio requires less performance space, making it suitable for smaller rooms, ceremonies and intimate venues.

  • Black background with a gold circle containing a gold British pound (£) symbol.

    A lower-cost option

    With three musicians rather than four, the trio can offer a more affordable alternative while retaining the character of live strings.

  • gold musical notes on a black background

    A varied repertoire

    The trio performs a dedicated selection of classical music, pop songs, film themes, musical theatre and traditional pieces.

IS THE TRIO RIGHT FOR YOUR EVENT?

A Flexible Option for Smaller Occasions

The string trio works especially well for smaller weddings, civil ceremonies, drinks receptions and private events.

For larger celebrations or guest numbers above 75, Quattro recommends the full string quartet, as its sound carries further and provides greater depth. The quartet also offers the wider repertoire of the two options.
