Dynamic string quartet seamlessly blending the timeless elegance of Bach with contemporary hits by Ed Sheeran, creating the perfect vibe for any occasion.

Carmen Strings is more than just your average string quartet. These guys are the real deal, hailing from the vibrant city of Manchester. They've got a track record that'll knock your socks off, having performed across the UK and Ireland, spreading musical joy wherever they go.

Carmen Strings were absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble! Rosie and Mark, Wedding

From swanky soirées to laid-back get-togethers, they've got the perfect playlist for every occasion. Picture this: they can switch it up from Bach to current hits, throw in some grand opera vibes and stage musicals – talk about a wild mix!

But here's the real kicker - they're not afraid to shake things up. They'll throw in some Lady Gaga for a modern twist, or even crank it up to eleven with a bit of Metallica.

So, whether you're hosting a cosy dinner party, saying "I do," or celebrating a milestone, Carmen Strings will set the perfect vibe. They'll sprinkle a little magic into your special day, making memories that'll last a lifetime.

“Carmen Strings played at our wedding in August and were absolutely brilliant. Their performance was fantastic, they dealt with some last minute schedule changes (from us on the day) with no fuss at all and all the guests loved the music. Liz was brilliant in the lead up to the day, sharing an unbelievable repertoire and generally just being easy to deal with. I also think they were brilliant value for money so would definitely recommend!”

Julie, Wedding, August 2024

“Carmen Strings were absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble! They learnt an unusual request (the pokemon theme tune!) And then adapted it to make it suitable for a bridal party entrance. All of our guests commented on how amazing they are, they are worth every penny and really added some of our personality to the day with our chosen songs. Please book them for your celebrations - you won't forget it!”
