What will the musicians wear?
We tend to dress to suit the occasion, ladies in long black and gents in black suits. However we can offer the option to make it more formal with the ladies in colourful dresses and the gents in suits (like wedding guests). Your decision!

I'm getting married outside, can the String Quartet accommodate this?
We are very happy to play outside as long as we are able to perform in a sheltered area.
You can discuss with Charli on where would be best for the musicians to sit.
