Booking string quartets in Atlanta
Atlanta is a major convention city and a center of hip-hop and R&B, with large corporate headquarters and an energetic wedding and private-party market.
Where Atlanta events happen
Buckhead and Midtown hotels, historic estates, converted warehouses and North Georgia mountain venues.
Season & timing
Spring and fall are prime. Summers are hot and humid, so evening events are more comfortable.
Pick the size for the moment
A solo violinist or duo suits small ceremonies; a trio or quartet gives a fuller sound for larger ceremonies, cocktail hours and formal receptions.
Protect the instruments outdoors
Spring and fall are prime. Summers are hot and humid, so evening events are more comfortable. String players need shade, a stable surface and protection from direct sun and rain, so we confirm these with your Atlanta venue in advance.
Order custom songs early
Most ensembles play a deep library, and many will arrange a song you love for your processional. Custom arrangements usually need 6–8 weeks.
Options we book
Solo violin or cello
Intimate ceremonies and small spaces.
Duo or trio
A fuller sound at a moderate budget.
Quartet
The full classic sound for ceremonies and formal events.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can we hear recordings of your ceremony repertoire?
- Do you arrange custom songs, and is there a fee?
- Do you need amplification for our space?
- What do you need for an outdoor ceremony?
- Can you play the ceremony and cocktail hour back to back?
We ask these for you, and negotiate number of players, custom arrangements, outdoor amplification and the contract terms on your behalf.
