Strings of love
Q. My wife-to-be and I love modern songs and were wondering if these would work with a string quartet?
A. Charli Daw says: From Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran to Lizzo and Dua Lipa, you'll want a supplier who can do it all and more. Start by looking for a company with an extensive modern repertoire list.
Choosing songs for your wedding can be a daunting task, especially when you're not sure if your music tastes are what all of your loved ones would like too. A string quartet will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your special day and can be a beautiful way for you and your guests to enjoy the music you love.

Q. We'd love some live music at our drinks reception, but don't want anything too intrusive as guests will want to chat and catch up. What would you suggest?
A. Charli Daw says: Consider booking a string quartet for your big day. An acoustic string quartet will be non-intrusive and provide a comfortable atmosphere for your guests to mingle and converse freely. Here at Harmony String Quartet, we give our couples access to our full catalogue of music ranging from soft classical to light jazz and modern day hits. Look through your supplier's repertoire and see if their style suits your big day.
