ABOUT US
AKA THE WEDDIES
Weddington Strings (aka the Weddies) have been playing together in different combinations for over 20 years. In 2022, the ensemble - taking the name from a small hamlet in Kent - was formally established under the artistic direction of cellist and Creative Director, Victoria Walker.
The ensemble performs as quartets and trios across concerts, weddings and live events, with repertoire spanning classical music, film and television, jazz, theatre and contemporary arrangements.
Weddington Strings were recently awarded the 2026/27 - London & South East - Prestige Award for Event Entertainment Company of the Year.
Weddington Strings are Fever Candlelight Concert artists for Kent, with regular performances in Rochester Corn Exchange receiving rave reviews, and opening the All Saints Old Chapel venue series in Eastbourne.
Fever Candlelight Concerts now form a central part of the ensemble’s work, presenting immersive programmes in some of the region’s most atmospheric spaces.
Alongside their concert work, Weddington Strings perform regularly at leading venues across Kent and are exclusive suppliers for Lympne Castle, Chapel House Estate, Hempstead House, Preston Court and Wilderness Weddings, with regular performances at over 40 other leading venues in Kent.
Recent highlights include a Bridgerton-inspired High Tea concert series at Hempstead House, now in it’s fourth year, concerts at the Woodville Theatre, Lympne Castle and with the Canterbury Chamber Choir, as well as performing for the opening of Chapel House Estate’s Glasshouse in 2025.
“An exceptional atmospheric, performance from this quartet. It really was a special moment. We definitely will go again to see more from this professional team.
Well done guys!”
