the soundtrack to your wedding day

"Once you hear them play, you'll know there's no other choice!

Nothing is too much trouble for these highly talented, friendly and fun group."

Hello

Chiqas Music was born out of a group of musicians who, while training as professional musicians at the UK's top conservatoires, fell in love with exploring different genres of music on their string instruments. 

All classically trained, we nurtured our love of playing not only classical music, but pop and modern music, at the same time creating friendships and bonds with fellow musicians that would last a lifetime. 

I got such a thrill from playing music that people don't expect being played on classical instruments, and seeing people's faces when they spot 'My Humps' on our setlist, then their disbelief when they hear it actually works!




When I discovered how unique the addition of the acoustic drum sounded with the quartet, I knew Chiqas was then born. I wanted to create an environment where myself and my friends could  enjoy playing banging music at a very high quality, in a supportive, positive, safe and loving environment. Together we love playing ALL the tunes as part of your celebrations, from S Club 7, Britney (I'm a huge noughties fan), to Harry Styles and Harry Potter, to Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.

"I can not recommend them highly enough. Absolutely incredible."

"I HAD THE CHIQAS TRIO PLAY AT MY WEDDING AND TO SAY I WAS DELIGHTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

Clodagh was a dream to work with- responsive, understanding, really cared about my day, and is genuinely the kindest person. All of the utmost importance when you are a nervous bride! 


"LIVE MUSIC WASN'T SOMETHING WE THOUGHT WE'D HAVE AT OUR WEDDING, BUT I INSTANTLY KNEW I WANTED THEM WHEN I HEARD THEM PLAY. 

The booking process was easy with great communication, and Clodagh was so patient with us. They were such a special part to our day."

THESE GIRLS WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED MY WIFE'S FAVOURITE THING ON OUR WEDDING DAY WAS ME, BUT THE GIRLS STOLE THE SHOW!
