We had the pleasure of having fortune strings play at our wedding yesterday at Newton house barns, they are seriously talented musicians and so professional to deal with. We chose a modern selection of music for the aisle walk etc and then left the rest to Sarah & co for the drinks reception, all I can say is WOW just fantastic, we really cannot reccomend highly enough.

Fortune Strings played at our wedding last weekend and were great. Sarah was a pleasure to deal with through the planning process, always available for a chat and eager to help make our day personal and special. On the day, despite some dodgy weather, the players tried their best to support our wish and play outside where they could. They played beautifully and really added to the occasion. i would definitely recommend them to others. More...

Fortune Strings played at our wedding and were absolutely amazing! We chose some unconventional music and nothing was too much trouble for them, including getting our Stone Roses piece written for strings. Highly reccommend these guys for any special occasion More...

We used Fortune Strings Quartet for our wedding on the 12th May 2018 at Newton House Barns. They have a huge list of music for you to select from and Sarah, who we dealt with, was really quick to respond to all e-mails. She also helped with the selection of the music – outside of the 3 tunes we wanted for the ceremony we let them play what they wanted. The quality of the musicians was first rate, they were really friendly and they arrived in plenty of time. They really help make the day and we are so pleased we used them. From a cost perspective they seem pretty reasonable (not the cheapest, nor the most expensive) but, to be honest, our decision was made by the quick response, the breadth of music and the clear pricing for packages. All in all very happy and would definitely recommend. Thanks you Fortune Strings! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Our Fortune musicians love playing as a group - we have some fabulous arrangements showcasing each instrument and providing rich harmonies. Most of the pieces we play are well known and we often hear guests trying to work out where they have heard the music from before...the best bit is when we tell them they're correct!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Our founder, Sarah, has been in a string quartet since 2003 and only recently moved to the area. She knew how much guests enjoyed the quartet and trio and wanted to establish a new ensemble with the marvellous collection of music she has.
Why should our clients choose you?
All of our professional players are hand-picked for the event - we have all played together over the years and each musician is a leader in the region on their chosen instrument. Fortune Strings has a vast array of music to choose from and with almost 15 years' worth of experience, Sarah can provide substantial advice and organise an ensemble suitable for your event. Plus, we do think we're rather good!
Weddings
Any of our Fortune ensembles would be the perfect accompaniment to your wedding.
We can play during your Ceremony (entrance, signing and the exit), during your Drinks Reception (up to 1.5 hours) or during your Wedding Breakfast (up to 2 hours). Or any combination of these!
Events
Our Fortune musicians are experts at providing the perfect atmosphere for your event - whether it be a birthday celebration or corporate function. Our Quartet is best suited for larger occasions and has a huge selection of gentle or up-tempo music as the perfect accompaniment to your event!
