FAQ's

What ensemble sizes do you offer?

Our traditional set-up is as a string trio, however we offer a range of alternative options including solo violin or cello, string duo, and string quartet. We’re happy to recommend the best line-up based on your event and space.

What kind of music do you play?

Our repertoire includes classical, pop, film music, jazz and more! We can also arrange specific song requests to make your event feel personal.

Can we choose the music?

Absolutely! You can select directly from our setlist or you can let us know your preferred genres and we can curate you a setlist.

 

Can we request a song that is not on your setlist?

Of course! We cater to special requests as much as possible. Generally, we are able to source the music free of charge, however if this is not possible, we will create our own arrangements for an additional cost. 

Do you travel?

Yes, we are London-based but regularly travel across the UK and internationally for events.
Travel costs are additional on top of your base quote - we aim to travel together by car where possible!

Do you bring your own equipment?

As an acoustic ensemble, we bring everything that we need in order to perform. 

Do we need to provide you with anything?

All we require are armless chairs for performing and a green room to safely leave our belongings during our performances. We also ask for food to be provided if you choose package 2 or 3.

How long do you typically perform for?

We offer flexible performance durations and are happy to tailor our timings to suit your event schedule. For full details, please refer to our package options.

For bookings exceeding one hour, performances are typically structured in 45-minute sets, with a 15-minute break between each set to ensure the highest quality performance throughout.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak dates (summer and December), but we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute enquiries!

What do you wear?

We are able to tailor our attire appropriately for the style of your event - formal black, evening wear, or coordinated colours if preferred! Check out our Instagram to see our previous outfits.

Do you play outside? 

Yes we do play outside but require sufficient cover such as a marquee or gazebo with sides in case of direct sunlight or wet-weather conditions - this is not only to protect ourselves but also our instruments!

Is VAT included? 

Yes, it is!

How can I secure my booking?

We require a 25% deposit to secure your booking - once we have received this, you can rest assured you are in our diary!

Any other questions?

When you enquire with us, please feel free to ask any questions you have!
