TESTIMONIALS
Our Clients Love Our Wedding String Quartet
We hired Alerion Strings to play at our wedding reception. As we entered they played a piece which had been specially written for our special day. They were very accommodating to fit in and around all of our plans. All our guests commented on how beautifully they played, we feel it really set the tone of our 'Bridgerton style' wedding. Making me feel like the 'Diamond of the Season'
Thank you so much!
MR & MRS LABELLA
We hired a trio for our wedding, this was one of the best decisions for the day by far. The collection of music we were able to completely tailor for the day and eas even able to make a special request not in the repertoire. All of our guests remarked on how incredibly talented the musicians were and what an amazing part of the day this was. I absolutely can not recommend Alerion Strings enough!! Thank you!!

Ensemble Sizes
We don’t just perform as a quartet—you can hire us as a string trio, string quartet, or larger string ensemble to perfectly suit your event’s size and style. If you’re hosting a more intimate gathering or have limited space, our string trio is an ideal choice. This ensemble typically comprises a violin, a viola and a cello, creating a beautiful, well-balanced sound with fewer musicians. A string trio not only offers a more cost-effective option but also brings the same elegance and sophistication that a full quartet provides.
For larger celebrations, we can easily expand to a string quartet or even a bigger ensemble, ensuring a fuller, richer sound that will fill your venue with music. Whichever option you choose, you’ll receive the same level of artistry, professionalism, and attention to detail that we’re known for. Whether it’s a cozy ceremony for a handful of guests or a grand reception, our trio, quartet, or extended ensemble will make your occasion unforgettable.
We can even add a Piano, Harp or Flute for that extra special touch.
