About Us
Live music adds greatly to any event, and The Birmingham String Ensemble can make your wedding or function that extra bit special. The quality of our music and our professionalism are unquestionable.
Visually Stunning
The Birmingham String Ensemble are well-presented and highly experienced musicians. Our usual attire is formal black, but we can wear brighter colours if you prefer.
Perfect Sound
Smooth strings add sophistication to any function. The four-part harmony of a string quartet gives an unforgettably unique sound.
Easily Portable
Whether we are Indoors or outdoors, four chairs and protection from the weather is all that is needed.
Our players are highly experienced classically trained musicians who have played at hundreds of weddings & functions in many different environments. We are sensitive to your guests' needs and are experienced enough to be in touch with the feel of the function in order to choose music appropriately.
