Flux Ensemble Pricing & Costs

Pricing for suppliers

Prices Start at
£450
Maximum price
£820
Our normal price will include however many you want out of: background music before the ceremony (up to half an hour or so); music during ceremony (entrance, exit, signing of the register, etc); music after the ceremony / at drinks reception (up to about 2 hours including a break). If you want longer than that, or have a large number of requests that we don't have already and are difficult to source, we may have to agree an addition to the fee. We will normally take a 10% deposit to seal a booking, and invoice for the balance after playing (or before if you want to settle all the bills before going on honeymoon, but that's up to you!).

Flux Ensemble Full Description
We are a London-based group of charismatic musicians who bring distinction and energy to everything we do. Whether you want traditional classical music, the pop songs that have soundtracked your romance, or some sweeping film music, our string quartet, other lineups and writer-arrangers can cater for all your musical needs. String Quartet: The classic ensemble: two violins, viola and cello. Versatile and proven, equally suited to a garden drinks reception, an intimate concert or the string section of a pop ballad. Our most popular option. String Trio: Violin, viola and cello. Suitable for smaller budgets than a quartet, with a similar repertoire but not quite as full a sound. String Duo: Tight budget or intimate venue with not much space for musicians? A duo of viola and cello can fit almost anywhere and is still adaptable enough to provide a wide range of music. Large Ensemble & Bespoke Lineups: Want to really make a splash? We can provide expanded custom ensembles including strings, winds and vocals, up to ‘pocket orchestras’. Contact us to discuss. Acoustic or Amplified: An acoustic string quartet can fill more space than you probably imagine - we have played ‘unplugged’ in Southwark Cathedral! But if an extra boost is needed, we can bring amplification equipment and our own PA to give you that same classical sound only louder; all we need is power. In-house Arranging and Writing: Two of our core members are experienced arrangers. So we’re not dependent on what’s published or available in print; if particular music played by a particular lineup is important to you, it’s important to us and we can make it happen! We can even provide a bespoke commissioned song / piece for your event, through our established working relationship with leading music industry producer / writer Alan D Boyd.

Thanks for the amazing music on our special day, you made it even better! Sorry we didn't get a chance to say thank you in person. All the best in the future.

I loved your performance.

Hello. Just wanted to pass on my appreciation for your wonderful performance at Callum and Colette’s wedding. As someone who is both a total metal-head (stealthy) but lover of classical music I loved your performance. It added so much to the ambience and created a soundtrack to a special day. I wish you much success in the future and hope your brilliance gets a bigger and bigger platform

Wouldn’t have been the same without them.

Martin was a joy to converse with, fabulous array of songs that exactly fit the vibe we were going for. They were happy to accommodate every single one of our requests, were on time, polite and professional and the guests absolutely loved the “bridgerton” vibe. Wouldn’t have been the same without them. They even learnt star spangled banner for the closing of our ceremony as it was September the 11th. Don’t hesitate to book. Highly recommend!

You really made our ceremony and drinks

You really made our ceremony and drinks after with your music. And successfully made the whole room cry when Emma came down the aisle!

we highly, highly recommend booking

Absolutely everything that we had wished and hoped for - Martin was breezy to deal with in organising the day and he and the band were brilliant - they dressed immaculately, completely felt part of our big day and of course the music was simply wonderful. We are chuffed to have had so many compliments from our guests who loved their style. If you are tempted to book a string quartet we highly, highly recommend booking with Flux Ensemble. A huge thank you from us

INCREDIBLE!!! I could not recommend enough.

We were back & forth about booking due to being over our budget - but I am SO glad we did. They made the day so much more special and memorable, Our guests also loved it! Aside from being insanely talented, they were extremely easy to deal with. Martin who co-ordinated the booking was so helpful from start to finish - he made us feel like nothing was a problem!! If you’re unsure whether to book then I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed!! Thank you again.

exactly what we had hoped for

We had Martin and his string ensemble play at our wedding. The communication and choosing of specific music was both quick and easy. Martin liaised brilliantly with our venue & required zero input from us on the day. The music was beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for. Could not recommend them highly enough! Would definitely book them again! Thank you so much!

Flux Ensemble was phenomenal at our wedding! Their music turned our venue into a dreamy fairytale. They have an endless repertoire! What also stood out for us was Martin's friendly and easygoing nature, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The compliments from our guests kept pouring in, and we hope to get another chance to hear them play again. A heartfelt thank you to the talented Flux Ensemble for making our day truly unforgettable!

FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

adaptable, classy, friendly, characterful, helpful

What about your business are you most proud of?

Meeting the brief whatever it may be, with a smile and without the client having to worry!

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get what means something to *you* personally, not what everyone has or what's expensive/fancy/fashionable but ultimately just an impersonal thing/service to you.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

First get the key details: date and time, location, budget. Check if we're going to play outdoors and check rain cover is sorted if we are (British weather is what it is ... ). Then try and dig into what they like: Are there any requests for specific music? What styles do they want to hear in our performance (which might, or might not, be string quartet versions of what they like in general!)? These stages in particular are good to do by email, because most people planning weddings are working well ahead of time and are very busy so they can pick up whenever they have time - but I'll always pick up the phone (and take notes!) if clients prefer to talk. Finally, check the additional details that make everything run smoothly: Do they want to request a dress code? Do we need to be set up before a given time because of what's happening in what space at what time over the day? Is there anything we need to know about parking / access at the venue? Who should we check in with when we arrive?

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Whatever someone last requested we arrange so we can cover it - it'll be running through our heads practically 24/7 for days!
