Cat Dyas (Wedding) 30 Jul 2023

I cannot recommend Bowfiddle Strings highly enough. Their trio performed during our church ceremony and our garden reception, and it was stunningly beautiful. Their wide repertoire from classical to modern created such a magical atmosphere that really made the day.
They were incredibly professional and a dream to deal with - a huge thank you for making our day so special.

Hi Laura
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding.
We thoroughly enjoyed the music and day itself and had positive feedback from all of our guests too.
I liked how Bittersweet Symphony played as we came in from having some photos taken!
Thanks again
Andreas

Laura was amazing, she was so accommodating to my needs and doing a suprise performance outside for a proposal. She was also lovely and created the perfect moment for the proposal. Can't wait to have her play again at our wedding!

Laura, I would like to apologise for missing you at the end of our session, I was so sorry that I didn't thank you all in person, but the day seemed to go in a daze. Julia, Amelia and I would like to thank you so much for making the day, your playing was wonderful and our guests commented on your superb performance, definitely raised the tone! So once again thank you Richard and Julia Holloway

Sorry for the delay in emailing you but I seem to have lost 6 days this week. The wedding and subsequent days were a complete blur. My husband and I would like to thank you and the artists who played at our wedding on Sat 20th October 2018. I did not get a chance to meet and greet and introduce myself to them as I was banished to my hotel room as Mark was practising standing up in the wedding room so I couldn't come down and then we didn't get a chance again. I'm sure you experience this all the time but I felt a bit rude. We only got to hear "Sweet Child O Mine" as we insisted on sitting down to listen but even then we were ushered away as people wanted us announced so they could eat their meal...how very rude we were trying to listen to you guys :-). Everyone said they enjoyed the music and how lovely to have live music. Not what they expected us to choose at all. We had such a fab day that went far too quickly. We have decided go have a first anniversary party next October and would really like Bowfiddle to play again and this time we might get to hear you. I will be in touch once we have a date to see if you're available. Kind regards Jennifer Kale

Just a few words to say thank you so much to you and all the girls of Bowfiddle for helping to make my daughter's (Emma) wedding day such a wonderful occasion, of which I and all who attended, appreciated your wonderful contribution. You were all very special, very accommodating and truly talented. Sincere regards, Michael Rutland (proud father of the bride)
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding yesterday - Xian and I were blown away by how beautiful you all sounded together. We really appreciate it and for giving us that extra special something for our day. Emma Rutland (bride - Rockwell Farm 19/9/15)

Gary & Paul (Civil wedding) 17 Nov 2019
10/10

Hi Laura (and ladies). We just wanted to express our sincerest thanks for playing so beautifully at our wedding. When we first saw your video online, I got that special magical tingle. Hearing that one piece, which just happens to be my favourite, blew the competition out of the running. We must confess that when we got to the page showing the huge list of stars and productions our hearts sank a little, thinking we could never afford a quartet in your league. Excitement kicked back when we arrived at the prices page and we hammered out a booking email there and then. We loved the fusion of classical, pop, show tunes and the little quirky pieces - "Let's Go Fly a Kite" went down a storm. I was personally mesmerised watching Laura "live" the music - a true artist. Again thank you all for making our day truly memorable, to us and all our guests - you were perfect! Sincerely Gary & Paul (Crown Inn, Amersham - 4/7/15)

Hi Gary and Paul, although a little late in replying to your gorgeous review I thought better late than never! One of our most memorable and fun days playing as a quartet! We wish you all the best from Laura and Co.

Dear Laura and Bowfiddle Strings. Thank you for playing at our wedding at St. Paul's Church, Chipperfield on 27th March 2015. Your beautiful sound created a magical and very special ambience in the church which many of our guests commented on. Thank you also for playing at our reception at St. Michael's Manor, St. Albans. We had a wonderful day full of music, love and friendship. Best Wishes Becky & Dave (Bowfiddle Trio)

Thank you all for your coming down and performing for us, I thought you played beautifully and for me it really made the day special. I just wished I could have stood and listened to you a bit more instead of having to chat and have my picture taken! A lot of people commented on how good you were, and there are a least a few people (including my mum and me) that will be looking out for events to book you for again. All the best and thanks again Toby Burns (groom, Burgh House, Hampstead - 2/5/15 - Bowfiddle Trio)

We wanted to write to thank you for the fantastic music that you provided for our wedding ceremony. Your performances were outstanding and everybody mentioned how superb you were. We were extremely impressed by your lengthy repertoire, which allowed us to choose the perfect music not only for our ceremony but also for the drinks outside in the gardens and the Safari Lodge. We really appreciated being able to speak to Laura whenever we needed her. It was a wonderful relief to know that someone was paying attention to every detail. We would recommend you to anybody looking for wonderful musicians for any event. Best wishes and thank you Catherine & Paul (Woburn Abbey - Bowfiddle Trio)

Really pleased with Bowfiddle Strings. They played at my party as guests arrived and managed a modern twist to my eclectic taste in music. Dealt with Laura, who organised it all for me. Made suggestions that were great, as I had no idea really idea to begin with. Would use again and have already been to a concert that they have played at. The quality of playing was / is splendiferous, and we had many complimentary comments made about Bowfiddle Strings at the party.

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for performing on Saturday at Stanmer House. You were fantastic!

Everyone enjoyed the music and you really contributed to making it a wonderful occasion. Thank you particularly for being so easy to work with you; you were all so friendly, accommodating and laid back - much appreciated

We will make sure the cards you left out get distributed amongst the guests and we will certainly keep you in mind for next time.

I booked Bowfiddle Strings to entertain the guests at my wedding reception. They were truly wonderful and I'd highly recommend booking them.

This group are excellent! I have heard them many times and am always enamoured of their fresh approach to music making and
charasmatic energy. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

The Bowfiddle Strings are an eclectic ensemble of the highest order. Their stylistic virtuosity is unmatched and they do not blanch at any challenge. I can recommend them very highly. Book them now to avoid disappointment.

Keith Beniston (Organist, conductor and music examiner) 22 Nov 2013

I have employed these players in many various ensembles over several years and have heard them perform independently in their own right too. They are entertaining, versatile and thoroughly professional, also really nice to work with. They offer a large repertoire suitable for any occasion, from the concert stage to the tasteful background music role.
