What makes us different?

After 10 years and with well over 500 weddings across Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Avon and Berkshire under our belt, we still love what we do - otherwise we wouldn't be doing it! That comes across in our gigs, but don't take our word for it - check out our client testimonials. If you want some gentle background music that's great, but we don't just play our music we perform it. Whilst we're on the subject of music, we have one of the largest and diverse repertoires in the country. Take a look at our music list, which is expanding weekly - if your favourite song isn't there, just ask - if it's not already waiting to be added to the list, we can almost certainly add it in time for your day. All four of us in the Ardeton String Quartet perform professionally with orchestras and ensembles across the UK, and from our love of playing as a quartet we formed The Ardeton Ensemble, which performs recitals for music societies and festivals across the UK. Also, to show our commitment to making your event perfect, we offer wedding music packages rather than an hourly rate like other groups so that you can just relax and leave all of the music to us on your day rather than worrying about watching the clock or brokering a deal with musicians so that you're not left without music!
