A deeply captivating performance by an amazing string quartet

We are glad that we chose Fern Quartet for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was a great pleasure to experience their mesmerizing music while vowing to each other for lifetime. Their music elevated the theme of our wedding, perfectly capturing the vintage glamor we aimed for. A performance where every note and movement commanded absolute attention. Our guests were spellbound, and so did we. It was an emotionally immersive experience for us with your quartet and we are thankful for the outstanding service you provided from beginning to end.

A touch of magic!

Amazing, beautiful and always remembered: We cannot recommend the Fern Quartet enough. These ladies added a touch of magic to our wedding day. We conversed with Fionnuala - she was prompt, professional, warm and incredibly helpful. They even learnt a special song for my now husband I cant thank them enough. They played beautifully and it really was special having the Fern Quartet at our wedding day.

They set the scene!

Everyone commented on how they really set the scene before the ceremony and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight as I came down the aisle to them playing my song. They were attentive and just amazing. Dorrinda x

From the moment they began to play, the atmosphere was transformed, and our guests were captivated by their beautiful music. Each member of the quartet is extremely talented and highly skilled, and their passion for music shines through in every note they play. They performed with such elegance an

You really can't beat live music!

An amazing wedding day made all the more perfect by The Fern Quartet. The music they played for the build up to, during and ending our wedding ceremony as well as then afterwards at our drinks reception really set the tone for what was the best day of our lives. This same sentiment has been echoed to us by a number of our guests also. Dealing with The Fern Quartet has been an absolute pleasure throughout. We can't thank you all enough. Mr & Mrs Parker

What is your most memorable wedding?

The Arches 2023 - A very relaxed wedding. The couple were already legally married, so they had their friend doing the ceremony. Guests wore what ever they liked, with one rather tall gentleman appearing in pink hotpants, cowboy boots and a stetson.
