International Gigs
This year has been adventurous for London Strings – we’ve had a few international bookings that were a joy to play at!
In July we had a last-minute request to perform for a wedding in Edinburgh. We managed to book the train and hotel, and were off! Our clients had an unlucky cancellation from their previous quartet, and were travelling all the way from the States for their wedding. They had hired a mansion for the occasion. They loved our performance and the groom left us this review-
5 star experience. Punctual, professional and excellent musicians. I would absolutely hire them again.
We stayed an extra night in Edinburgh to explore the beautiful and ancient city. Lucy loves the outdoors so she encouraged Arda to join her climbing up to Arthur’s Seat. Definitely worth it for the photos!
Progres-soft hired our violin and cello duo to perform in Amsterdam’s RAI for one of their big events. They requested our performance mic’d and with backing tracks, which is always a great idea for a huge venue as it allows the music to carry to all corners of the venue.
Our third big international event was a mission – our quartet flew to Marseille in September for a wedding close by in the Château de Tourreau. Stunning venue – check out these photos of us!
Travelling as musicians is no problem – with instruments though, you have to know exactly how to book the flight tickets, especially with the cello. Different airlines have different rules for violins and violas as well, and whether you need to purchase extra legroom or an extra seat. If you’re thinking of hiring musicians for your destination wedding or event we can help out with the travel details!
Anyway, we enjoyed playing for this wedding, which started off with a selection of classical music to welcome the guests, and then finishing with some Bridgerton favourites after the wedding ceremony.
We had the pleasure to explore Avignon on the way home, and caught some last rays of the hot summer sun before making our way back to the U.K

We booked London Strings to play at our wedding and they were amazing! Throughout the whole process leading up to the day, they were really accommodating and informative. They even played a custom song for our ceremony and coordinated with our officiant to accompany him throughout, which made the ceremony all the more beautiful. Our guests also loved the addition of a string trio, saying that it added even more joy to the day! Thank you so much, Ben and Amy

London strings played for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception after. We could not recommend them more highly. They learned a piece especially for my entrance and played so beautifully. They brought a real touch of magic to the day.

Really enjoyed the London Strings performance in our garden. They turned up on time, played delightfully and left everyone content!

First of, thank you so much Lucy and Arda for the swift response/answering all my queries since day one and down to our big day. You have been so helpful and professional. Thank you so so much for accommodating us. Also, we would like to give our thanks to your duo (violist and cellist) for playing our songs before, during and after our ceremony. It was spot on, everyone loved it and got lots of compliments. All of our guests were moved(some to tears) of course including us whilst listening to them play. It made our wedding day extra special and memorable. Your team is amazing! I wish you and your team all the best! More clients to come. Thank you so so much and we appreciate it all. -Charmie and Joseph

London Strings are top class performers who have a broad repertoire for any taste. They played at our wedding for the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast. We really enjoyed the music and the professionalism. Highly recommend!

Lucy and Arda played at our wedding ceremony July this year. They played beautifully and made the day so magical. They are very professional and polite and are great with their communication. I would highly recommend London Strings to anyone who would love live music at their special occasion. Simply outstanding!
