Marino Strings are a highly-trained and dynamic group of string performers available for hire at weddings, parties and corporate events. We mainly perform at venue locations within London and Surrey, however we will also consider events in neighbouring counties such as Hampshire and West Sussex, so if you are unsure please make an enquiry anyway. We may still be able to accommodate you if you are further afield and we ask that you please do message through this page directly for your personalised quotation.
We provide all our own instruments and music on the day and are also happy to dress according to your event specifications (we would usually wear all black.)
Please get in touch to hear about our full range of wedding packages and pricing options. We can't wait to speak with you soon to ensure your day is as special as we can possibly make it!
With prices starting from as little as just £220 (based on the price for a violinist and cellist/string duo), we cater for all budget options and can be hired as a variety of instrumental combinations - we have even performed as a piano trio before, so we are happy to bring in any external musicians such as pianists etc. We will arrange literally any piece of music on the planet that you desire - nothing is out of our style/taste!
