  • “Thank you all so much for being with us and making our day even more special. It was a joy for us that Sus 4 Strings were there to play such beautiful music. Everyone commented on how lovely it was to have you playing. The whole day was magical for us and you were very much an important part of making it such. Thank you” - Martin W - Wedding - Hartford End

  • “Helped add a real touch of class to our party! Loved hearing my favourite pop tunes such as Simon and Garfunkel in this string setting. They were very flexible in their organisation prior to the party, and were able to set up comfortably in our living room. The playing itself exceeded my expectations - beautiful!” - Ania V - Birthday Party - Monkhams

  • “Sus 4 Strings really made our wedding day extra special. They were great to deal with from the off, offering us an extensive list of songs to choose from, and even learning a new number for us to walk down the aisle to. Afterwards, so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the quartet and the ambience they brought to the occasion. We highly recommend Sus 4 strings!” - Joe B - Wedding - Hunstrete House

  • “Sus 4 Strings were absolutely perfect. They opened our wedding ceremony and accompanied it and our reception with the most beautiful music. As soon as they started playing the atmosphere was suddenly magical and they made it all seem effortless. On top of that they are wonderful people, we had people commenting all day on how nice they were and how well they played! Somehow they sound even better in person than their recordings. It was genuinely breathtaking on the day and they managed to fill an outdoor space with music easily. They performed two 45 minute sets and would absolutely recommend that as it flew by, we certainly wouldn't have wanted less! Thank you Sus 4 Strings!” - Robin D - Wedding - London

  • “We would like to thank the ladies for providing such a great live musical accompaniment for our event. It was a really interesting twist to hear jazz on string instruments – very uplifting and upbeat!” - Caroline B - Charity Event - Bermondsey St

 FAQs

  • Our standard set up is acoustic but we are happy to be amplified either by a venue tech/ sound engineer for no extra charge, or we can bring our own small PA for an additional £100. In this case we would need access to a safe & tested power supply.

  • We can perform inside or outside. If outside, we require a covering - even if the weather is excellent. This is to protect our instruments from sun / rain etc.

    We would ask that you provide 4 armless chairs and that there would be enough space for us to lay these out in a spaced out semi-circle, to give us room to play our instruments.

  • Yes, up to 200 miles with transport costs covered. Happy to discuss travelling further, with additional fees involved.

  • Yes, any on our repertoire lists are covered with the fee. If you require something extra, we can discuss this but usually ask that it be no more than 1 or 2 songs, possibly with an additional fee if the music is hard to source.

  • Yes - as individual performers.

  • Yes - we ask for 10% to secure any bookings that are more than 2 months away, and 20% if less than 2 months away.

  • We ask that you provide a meal (this can be sandwiches) on arrival - we have 1 vegan and 1 coeliac (tbc depending on personnel). We will arrive 45 mins - 1 hour before we are due to play.

    Please ensure there is adequate parking available if outside central London, for 2 cars.
