Volume considerations at your event

In Surrey, the volume of a string quartet performance can greatly enhance your event.

With volumes typically ranging from 70dB to 85dB, their performances create a pleasant and comfortable environment where conversations can be easily heard. If you have any questions or concerns regarding sound limiters or noise restrictions, our Entertainment Coordinators are here to assist you. For more information about sound limiters check out our guide here

Space considerations at your event

For those considering hiring a string quartet in Surrey, it's essential to allocate sufficient space for their performance. Typically, a string quartet requires an area of approximately 3 meters wide by 2 meters deep. This allows the four musicians, along with their instruments and music stands, to be arranged in a semi-circle formation and have enough room for bowing.

For approximate requirements, see ‘How much space will a string quartet need?’, below.

When booking a string quartet for your Surrey event, they are usually scheduled to perform 3-4 sets, delivering a sophisticated musical performance that adds elegance to your special occasion.

When booking a string quartet in Surrey, ensure that you have enough space for them to play comfortably. The quartet sits in a semi-circle formation, facing the audience, and needs armless chairs and music stands to perform smoothly.

Ensure your stage meets the minimum size requirement of 3 × 2 meters to create the perfect musical atmosphere. When hiring a string quartet in Surrey, you can expect exceptional performances that can adapt to various venues. As long as the space is safe, flat, and allows unrestricted movement, string quartets can thrive.

When considering hiring a string quartet in Surrey, keep in mind that they typically allow 30 – 45 minutes for set-up and tuning before the performance. However, specific set-up times can vary depending on parking availability and venue logistics. Post-performance, it usually takes around 15 minutes for the quartet to pack away and load out.

To ensure an exceptional performance, string quartets in Surrey typically require the following:

Four armless chairs
A suitable performance area that is flat, dry, and of appropriate size to ensure safety. When performing outdoors, they will need protection from rain or intense sunlight.
Access to 13 amp power sockets if they are an electric string quartet or have electric elements in their lineup
Sufficient parking with easy access to the venue
A secure and lockable changing room
Refreshments, including soft drinks and, depending on the duration of the booking, potentially food.
String quartets will provide their own instruments, music stands, and lights for the stands, if necessary.
