New website for all our non-string acts

It's not all about stringed instruments - we have bands, DJs, gospel choirs - and even a magician on our books.

So many, in fact, that we decided to create a very similar sister site just for all the 'non-string' acts.

It's here - www.liquidmusicians.com

Have a look at the bands, wedding packages and other acts we're offering for hire in London and the surrounding regions.  We've added some new acts, like T Jay a superb London wedding singer

And much more.  

If you're looking for some inspiration from an actual wedding we've provided 3 acts for, have a look at our Wedding Case Study.

There are lots of factors involved in choosing suppliers for your wedding.  Here are a few other wedding professionals that we've been impressed by -

Juliet McKee - a superb Wedding Photographer

Melanie Helen - a brilliant London Wedding Planner

Mark Angus - stylish and sophisticated Photo Booth 

Kate Hopewell-Smith - another great Wedding Photographer


Happy planning, nothing great was ever achieved without effort, but the rewards on the day and in your memories make it worth every moment of time and energy that goes into creating an amazing day!  Don't stress - easier said than done - but it should be a fun process, leading up to a very fun day :)

Wedding Band for hire in London

If you're looking for a great wedding band in London to hire for your wedding or corporate event, look no further.  We have a small but highly select chosen group of bands, all of which will add big atmosphere and a superb soundtrack to your event.

A wedding band in London can be a solid 4 piece that can play a great range of crowd pleasers, from the 60s to the present day.  So you can have a bit of everything for the different generations and a friendly excellent party band can really play to each individual crowd and get people up and dancing and having a great time.

Another type of wedding band for hire in London could be a larger party band, and all bands have their own styles and ways of performing.  At Liquid Strings, we're getting as much video footage of different musicians for hire - so if there is not video of an act on its individual page, then there should hopefully be soon - keep checking the site, or call us and ask for more details of any particular act.

So, for a great wedding function band,look no further than Liquid Strings - we've played in over 100 venues in London and the surrounding regions.  We love what we do :)

Hire a jazz trio in the changeable British Summer to put your guests in a relaxed mood, whatever's happening with the weather.  Jazz trios in London are really popular for a whole host of events, and Liquid Strings regularly supplies jazz bands of various sizes (but often trio) for private parties, corporate events and weddings.

Here's a photo of the brilliant jazz saxophone player Dee with her trio - live jazz from Liquid Strings in the wedding of Johnathon and Klaudia in Merchant Taylor's Hall - another superb wedding venue in London that really benefits from live string trio or jazz band (in this case, we provided both - and a London  wedding DJ).
Live jazz creates a relaxing but sometimes lively atmosphere and enhances an event - Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davies, Cole Porter - all great tunes for summer and let's hope the weather lends a hand also....

String Quartet in The Mayfair Hotel

We've just had our second engagement in the stunning Mayfair Hotel - Rebecca created a surprise 60th Birthday party for her mum.  As well as playing Happy Birthday, we'd been told that she was a huge Cliff Richard fan, so jumped from everyone singing along to Happy Birthday onto Congratulations, which went down especially well with her in the surprise moment.

The current vogue is for pop covers on string quartet.  Quartets like the Vitamin Quartet in the States have meant that there are lots of string quartet versions of pop songs here online.  Many of these are unavailable to purchase as sheet music, but we have some brilliant arrangers - so nothing is beyond us.  Recent new versions of Toxic by Britney Spears and a Michael Jackson medley are going down a treat in weddings and corporate functions.  Our quartets love playing them as well - it's a break from classical music and they're as much to play as to listen to.

Hiring a wedding string quartet from us in London couldn't be easier - all the wedding string quartets for hire are simply booked and then leave the rest to us - or create your own playlist for the big day!

Wedding Guitarist

It's time for sorting out all the aspects of the wedding, following the successful proposal over Christmas! If you're looking for something great for the ceremony, reception and/or first dance - where better to look than at a fantastic wedding guitarist.
We're honoured to work with some of the finest entertainers and wedding musicians in the country, and Thom is clearly one of these.
Here he is photographed playing Roberta Flack, the First Time I Saw Your Face for Debbie and Steve's wedding in The Grove, Watford.

Debbie emailed me after the honeymoon to say
"Hi Brian,
Hope you are well, I just wanted to drop a note to say a big thank you to Thom for his performance at our wedding, he was amazing."

A guitarist like Thom is superb, as he can play a mix of background classical and light jazz, and then build up to a more uptempo set with vocals that is the perfect link to the DJ or band that you are having later. He's highly experienced, and can create a great atmosphere with his top quality playing and vocals.

Xmas Shopping Music

The lovely folk at four23 hired our gospel singers to pull those nervous xmas shoppers in for a bit of retail therapy, or just giving to loved ones (depending on your point of view)....as always, the singers scored a hit in the chilly December weather and brought some festive cheer as only great live music can!
Call us if you are looking to being this festive cheer to any occasion, with our fab gospel choir for hire - and thanks again to Rebecca, Pip, Elin and the others at four23 for their awesome work - judging by Xmas sales, it worked!

Liquid Strings at Green Business Awards

New artists to Liquid Strings are the fantastic wedding harpist Louisa and the brilliant jazz wedding pianist Joe.

Recent events include a host of weddings and also last wednesday we provided a string quartet for the Sunday Times Green Business Awards in The Roof Gardens, Kensington. The event was excellent, and we had a fab night!
