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.

Happy couple married in September

brought a tear to my eyes
It was an absolute pleasure working with the Flux Ensemble from start to finish. We hired the String Duo for our outdoor wedding ceremony, which Martin accommodated by bringing a PA system to ensure it was amplified. He clearly worked hard catering the music to my tastes, and our personalities, rather than pushing his own ideas. The result was a sublime, tranquil ambience for the ceremony, which brought a tear to my eyes and those of many guests. It was an unforgettable ceremony. Highly recommend these guys- Thanks!!

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!
