Strings and Things are a Derbyshire-based wedding music ensemble offering a fresh, flexible approach to live string music across the East Midlands. At their heart is a core string quartet, but couples can tailor the line-up to suit their wedding style and setting—adding harp, vocals, saxophone or keyboard for something truly unique. A popular choice is the elegant pairing of cello and keys, creating a warm, modern sound that fits perfectly in everything from rustic barns to stately homes. All musicians are professionally trained, and the group has performed at hundreds of weddings, earning a reputation for flawless performances and relaxed, friendly service. They work closely with each couple to understand the feel of the day and adapt their set accordingly, whether it’s creating a moving atmosphere for the ceremony or relaxed background music for drinks and dinner.
What really sets Strings and Things apart is their ability to blend classical instrumentation with contemporary style. Their repertoire ranges from classical favourites to pop, jazz, film scores, and custom arrangements of meaningful songs. They’re also happy to learn specific requests to make key moments even more personal. From the moment they arrive, they manage themselves with minimal fuss, adapting easily to changes in timing, venue quirks, or outdoor setups. Their presence adds a touch of sophistication without feeling formal or old-fashioned—making them ideal for couples who want something different from the standard string quartet experience. With their flexible line-up, polished sound and thoughtful approach, Strings and Things bring music to your day that’s as individual as you are.
