A string quartet is the gold standard of wedding music — rich, full, and unmistakably elegant. Two violins, a viola, and a cello create a sound that fills any space with warmth and sophistication. Cala Strings provides South Florida’s premier wedding string quartet, featuring musicians who have performed on the world’s most prestigious stages. From intimate garden ceremonies to grand ballroom receptions, our quartet delivers a performance that elevates every moment.

The Full String Quartet Experience

A string quartet offers the richest sound of any acoustic ensemble. The interplay of four instruments creates lush harmonies that a solo performer simply cannot achieve. Our quartet performs everything from Bach and Vivaldi to modern arrangements of Adele, Coldplay, and film scores. The result is music that feels both timeless and contemporary — perfectly suited for a luxury wedding.

Ceremony, Cocktail Hour & Reception

Our quartet provides seamless music throughout your entire event. During the ceremony, we perform your chosen processional, interlude, and recessional pieces. For cocktail hour, we shift to a mix of classical favorites and modern pop arrangements that keep the atmosphere lively yet sophisticated. During dinner, we provide elegant background music. And for the first dance, we can perform a custom arrangement of your song.

Repertoire That Spans Centuries

Classical purists love our renditions of Mozart, Beethoven, and Debussy. Modern couples love hearing their favorite pop, rock, and R&B songs reimagined for strings. We perform over 300 pieces spanning every genre — and if your song isn’t on our list, we’ll arrange it for you. From “Canon in D” to “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, we play it all with the same artistry and passion.

What’s Included

Every string quartet booking includes a planning consultation, customized playlist for your event timeline, all equipment and music stands, professional concert attire, early arrival for setup and sound check, and a dedicated point of contact throughout the planning process. We make booking live music effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a string quartet cost for a wedding?
A string quartet for a wedding in South Florida typically ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 for a standard 2-3 hour performance. Luxury weddings with extended hours, custom arrangements, or premium venues may be higher. We provide detailed quotes based on your event specifics.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3-6 months in advance for weddings, especially during peak season (October through May in South Florida). Corporate events and private parties can often be accommodated with 2-4 weeks notice, depending on availability. Popular dates book quickly, so earlier is always better.
Do you perform at outdoor events?
Yes, we regularly perform outdoors at gardens, beaches, estates, and waterfront venues throughout South Florida. We bring all necessary equipment including music stands and appropriate seating. For outdoor events, we recommend having a shaded area or backup indoor space in case of inclement weather, as instruments are sensitive to direct sun and rain.
What's the difference between a trio and a quartet?
A string trio (violin, viola, cello) provides a rich, full sound suitable for most events. A string quartet (two violins, viola, cello) adds an extra layer of harmonic depth and volume, making it ideal for larger venues and outdoor settings. For intimate indoor ceremonies, a trio is often perfect. For grand ballrooms or outdoor celebrations, a quartet delivers the fullest sound.
