When I was in high school I was in a wedding quartet. Despite the fact that we were high school seniors, we were quite excellent (award-winning, in fact!) The grandma of the first violinist was basically our agent - she was a social butterfly and very active at her church so she was always landing us gigs. Typically we would perform during the reception/dinner. We charged $25/hr per person ($100 per hour) which was a total steal for the client. We would just play pleasant, inoffensive things. I don't think anyone ever told us to play anything in particular! If you badly want a string quartet, hit up the local university, the local high school, and contact churches in your area. You can potentially get a very competent quartet that is so young and fresh-faced they don't know the real value of their labor. Classical music on the cheap. Just make sure to vet them first by getting a recording or listening to them play in person, because they could also be a total dud.
