Stretto Quartet Full Description
The Stretto Quartet is a sought-after ensemble for social events, corporate functions and weddings, in London and further afield. They are happy to travel to your event, and will bring with them their professional approach, reliability, flexibility and sense of fun. If you are looking to find a string quartet consisting of individually talented players who combine to perform with a considerable flair and zest, this is the string quartet for you. The four members of the Stretto Quartet first worked together during a tour of Chennai, India. Three members of the group toured China together, and two studied in the USA before meeting their Canadian violinist. Though clearly well-travelled, they have also individually appeared in Phantom of the Opera in the West End, on screen in the film of Les Miserables, and with the Welsh National Opera. They enjoy playing all styles of music, from Mozart to Michael Jackson, and convey their enjoyment to you and your guests. Among the most recent additions to their regular repertoire are the theme from Skyfall and songs by Coldplay and Maroon 5, which with other contemporary music adds a vibrant atmosphere to their performance. We also offer Duo or Trio options for those who have less space or budget for the quartet.

Thanks so much!
We had Stretto Ensembles play at our wedding this past weekend. They were utterly fantastic. All of the pieces were played with such professionalism and emotion, to the delight of both ourselves and our guests. Thank you all once again for adding such a memorable experience to the best day of our lives.

Absolutely wonderful - highly recommend
We had a string duo from the stretto quartet play at our wedding, and they were absolutely excellent. They looked so smart, and walking to the ceremony I could hear the music before I walked down the aisle and it completely set the mood for the ceremony and it was perfect. They were perfect with their timings of music around the ceremony and canapés and had an excellent repertoire of modern songs to play. Would definitely recommend for weddings! Was extra special and something our guests talked about all day.

Really easy to work with
Dan and Stretto Ensembles were fantastic! The communication beforehand was great, so easy to liaise with and on our wedding day, many guests commented on how much they loved the quartet and their music choices. Stretto Ensembles really did make our ceremony and drinks reception perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again! Jess & Connor

Thanks so much
We recently booked Dan and the Stretto Quartet for our wedding in London and they did not disappoint. Dan was so easy to liaise with ahead of the wedding and catered for all of our requests on the day and we received many compliments for choosing them. Even when there was a train strike Dan and the quartet sorted it out amongst themselves leaving us with nothing to worry about ahead of the day. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Stretto xx

Brilliant
The guys from Stretto were brilliant on the day. We had requested a song that wasn't on their song list to be played for the ceremony entrance, they were able to find the sheet music for the song and they played it beautifully on the day. It was quite a hot day on our wedding day so we were outside in the gardens for our drinks reception, the guys from Stretto were so professional and tried to follow the crowd of guests as we moved around the gardens for photos. I would highly recommend Stretto

Fantastic mix of styles
We absolutely loved Street Ensembles! They played during our wedding reception and were really fantastic. We requested them to play modern songs with a few traditional ones, and the set list was spot on! We had some great comments from all of our guests and they added the perfect atmosphere to our day. Would highly recommend them.

Book them!
I really couldn’t recommended Stretto Ensembles enough! I booked the quartet as a surprise for my wife to be for the ceremony music of our wedding. From the initial enquiry, right through to the ceremony itself Dan and team were great! We had a couple of bespoke requests for our music and Dan was more than happy to fulfil these requests! We even had our own arrangement of a Rod Stewart song to honour my nan who was unable to attend - this really was great!

If everything's clear, I'll then be in touch a week before the wedding to confirm all details, but am happy to answer any questions between booking and the date.
