Niche London String Quartet played for a wonderful ceremony and champagne reception in the heart of Mayfair last weekend. We really enjoyed the decor, atmosphere and grandeur of The Savile Club! The string quartet also enjoyed the wedding music choices for the ceremony:

Traditional Bridal Chorus for the entrance of the bride,

The couple’s beautiful request we specially wrote and learned for them, Amie by Damien Rice,

and the super upbeat Marry You for their exit as new Mr&Mrs.

We have been so blessed to visit all these wonderful venues, to play for all these wonderful weddings, and at venues where we visit several times a year we have become firm friends with the staff who helps us create flawless performances time and time again. Niche Quartet also has several favourite registrars who we bump into and work with all across South West London, sometimes several times a week!

Huge congratulations to our Mr&Mrs this week – and once again thanks to ALL our Niche newlyweds this year!

June 2014 outdid May as our busiest month yet, then August took over…now we are looking forward to our busiest ever month in September!!

Niche – The London String Quartet, String Trio and Duo have all been out and about across London visiting the most beautiful wedding venues this summer!

One of the wedding highlights of June was visiting Pembroke Lodge in Richmond to provide string quartet wedding ceremony and reception music. The couple chose a great mix of traditional and modern for their wedding ceremony music:

Bride’s Entrance: Pachelbel’s Canon
Signing of the register: I Giorni, Fly me to the Moon, It Must be love
The big exit as Mr and Mrs: All You Need is Love

and afterward during the reception guests danced and clapping for us as we played modern quartet music by the Beatles, Queen, and one of our newest arrangements requests for Mr Brightside.

Another excellent June wedding for the London String Quartet was at the Dorchester Penthouse where we provided a performance of Fields of Gold for the processional as the bride entered and once again the lovely All You Need is Love for the Recessional.

We also visited gorgeous top venues like Chandos House near Regents Street, Painshill Park in Surrey and Temple, Holland Park and more. Soon we will do another update with some of our favourite July Weddings and venues!

The Niche Quartet Girls

We love adding new music to our repertoire! Especially the very latest songs and chart hits. At our latest performance Niche – The London String Quartet played for the 1500 guests at the KCL Summer Ball – it was a very energetic summer’s night! We took this as a great opportunity to premiere some of our latest new songs that have been added to our repertoire:

All Of Me – John Legend

Mr Brightside – The Killers

Fields of Gold – Eva Cassidy/Sting

Happy – Pharrell

The newly graduated guests loved the songs and came over to have photos taken with us throughout the night! We look forward to adding more great songs over the next week weeks by Lana Del Ray and Coldplay.
