Special Occasions
Celebrate in style
Our String Quartet and Trio can provide the perfect soundtrack for all special celebrations and events including birthday parties, christenings, anniversary meals and funerals. Our extensive repertoire ensures that we will have songs to cater for all tastes.
Music
Instead of sheet music, we use Samsung Galaxy tablets. There are many advantages to them: they are neat and tidy, you and your guests can choose music with ease, there is minimal delay between pieces, they enable us to quickly relocate if needed, we don’t need lighting and most importantly we can easily add new music to our ever increasing repertoire.
Our repertoire contains over 3000 pieces from Bach to the Killers, and everything in between, making it one of the largest collections in Britain.
The Bridgewater String Quartet and Trio has something for everyone, and if your favourite song isn’t on our list, we can have it arranged for you.

Testimonials
Alison was a great help with answering any questions we had prior to the day. They had a huge repertoire to choose from, so big that we left the final 15 songs to the band to choose from as we couldn’t decide, and they didn’t disappoint…
…For anyone debating in having a string quartet, I couldn’t recommend these guys enough but the difference live music makes is unbelievable. You’ll never regret hiring the band, but you’ll always regret not hiring them.
Sensational! What incredibly talented and genuinely lovely people. I hired them for my wedding and it was one of the most amazing part of my day. Price is really good value for what you get. They even learned to play Thunderstruck by AC/DC just for my bridal entrance! Outstanding! I lived my Bridgerton dream. All my guest loved them. Thank you so much 🥰
Communication from Alison in the lead up to our special day was excellent, and the performance on the day will remain with us forever, it was just beautiful.
This was without doubt the best ‘extra’ part to our wedding, and if you’re soft like me, beware…the music is likely to make you cry throughout the event! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day, I cannot recommend you enough! X
Bridgewater string quartet are a must have for any wedding!
They are so easy to deal with and can turn their beautiful music to any song.
They added to the magic of our daughters wedding – as background music we saw guests humming along to well known songs and, they were ready to fill in the silence when the bridal entrance music failed to start on time.
Totally recommend these amazing musicians for any event as they can adapt to all events big and small
Thank you making our daughters wedding even more special !
Our hearts are absolutely bursting with pride and gratitude for The Bridgewater String Quartet. Words simply cannot describe how amazing you were at our wedding in August 2023 and for the months and months leading towards the day itself. Thank you to each of you for making our wedding day so perfect for us all, especially my beautiful Mum.
…Throughout all correspondence, Alison was wonderful and unbelievably helpful. Not only did she source the music for our church ceremony, she also arranged for multiple lesser-known pieces to be composed for us. Each and every one of which was performed perfectly and brought our families to tears.
…Thank you so so so much for making our wedding day so exceptionally personal & memorable. With love and gratitude always xxx
Excellent service from start to finish. Alison was always very attentive and fast to respond to all requests and questions. She even arranged a couple of pieces I had written for string quartet to play as a surprise on the day. The musicians on the day were all of the highest quality and they received many compliments from my guests; most significantly the professionals among them. I would not hesitate to book the Bridgewater Quartet for any occasion as the final touch to the ambiance. Thank you so much for making our day so special!
I hired Bridgewater for my wedding day and it honestly MADE the day. Not only are they the sweetest people on earth they play so well. All of my guests were absolutely blown away and it made the world of difference to my entrance down the aisle. They have a huge range of music to choose from and even accept suggestions if you really want a song that isn’t on their list too!
Wish I could do the whole day again to watch them, they went down a hit!
Couldn’t recommend more
We just wanted to say thank you to you and the rest of the trio you really made our wedding day. Us and our guests loved the music, we really can’t imagine what our day would have been like without you there.
The music sounded incredible during the ceremony and drinks reception and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone! Thank you for making the whole process so seamless, you’ve been a dream to work with x
What can I say! I can’t thank you enough for being so amazing you helped elevate our day to another level, I’m still on magical whirlwind I don’t want to get off. I’m sorry I didn’t get to give you a big hug and thank you in person. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding, it was just perfect and everyone really loved your string quartet. My mum was just so happy that you were performing as she loved you guys and mentions you every time I see her. Thank you for helping make our day and our guest’s day extra classy and special.
