9 Irish string quartets for your wedding

When it comes to wedding music, there are a few timing to think about: you’ll likely need music for the ceremony, potentially for the drinks reception and of course, music for the wedding afters.

Depending on your vibe and most importantly your budget, a string quartet could be the perfect choice for your ceremony music.

String quartets and trios have always been a popular choice for weddings, and have become increasingly popular since the release of Netflix’s Bridgerton with the incredible classic instrumental versions of Robyn’s Dancing On My Own and Ariana Grande’s Thank You Next.

String trios or quartets can create a gorgeous atmosphere during the wedding ceremony, as well as during the reception, so let’s take a look at some string quartet options for weddings in Ireland.
