Magenta Strings (Duo) played at our wedding and were fantastic. Contact with Helen to make the booking was quick and easy, on the day they were on time, friendly and professional and, most importantly, they played beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how great they were. Highly recommend, thank you!

Wow! Magenta strings played beautifully at one of our church fundraising evenings by candlelight. Everyone was blown away by the music and the atmosphere. We will definitely be asking them back for our 2026 fundraiser!

A huge thank you to Magenta Strings for providing the perfect musical accompaniment to our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. They were exceptionally professional and seamlessly managed to navigate the British spring weather - playing indoors and outdoors. They entertained our guests with a wonderful mix of music. We'd definitely recommend Magenta Strings and just want to say another massive thank you for helping to make our day special!

We booked the string duo on 17th August 2019 and they were fantastic. The music was beautiful and they were so easy to work with we didn't have to do anything, which was incredibly helpful. We would highly recommend Magenta Strings to others looking to book a string duo or quartet.

I booked Magenta Strings for my daughters wedding, they were absolutely amazing. Thoroughly professional and their repertoire is wonderful. Having a string quartet made the day so perfect, and the guests commented on how beautifully they played. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the music you provided for our ceremony yesterday it was absolutely perfect. I loved the Aerosmith and Blink 182 pieces and hearing how good the Pachelbel piece sounded before I walked down the aisle gave me an overwhelming feeling of excitement and confidence as it was just how I had hoped it would be. Thank you so so much and I will never forget the wonderful music you provided for our very special day.

Got married at woodborough hall in Nottingham and we wanted a vintage style wedding so we booked magenta strings for our big day! The music was beautiful and so enchanting to walk down the aisle too! What an amazing quartet, very professional. It made our wedding day that little bit extra special. If you want to wow your guests then I recommend you book magenta strings after all you only get one day to feel like a princess!

The 2 classical players were on time and a delightful duet that would enhance any event. Would recommend without hesitation. Brilliant and without them the boat trip would not have been the same.

The Magenta String duo were fantastic. Communication prior to the event was top notch and nothing was too much trouble.
The music during the ceromony and after during the arrival drinks was fantastic and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the playing was.
My new wife and I were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Magenta Strings.
Many thanks,
Mr and Mrs Morris

We booked Magenta Strings as a duo to play during the drinks & canapés at our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, through to our special day, they were very helpful and professional. On the day, they played a great mix of classic and modern songs, including a special request from the father of the bride. We would definitely recommend booking them.

We booked the Magenta string duo for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. The ladies were fantastic and very professional. The music was beautiful and all our guests commented what a lovely touch it was to have a live duo at our wedding. We only had 50 guests so wanted subtle entertainment and the duo was perfect for this. In the lead up to the booking, their communication was great and they were very helpful and organised. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Magenta Strings to anyone looking to add a touch of class to a special occasion.

We hired the string duo for our wedding on the 12/03/17, it was a surprise for the wedding guests so a low profile was key.

I can't recommend Helen and the team enough, so professional, constant contact throughout the booking process I couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you for making my dream a reality.

Can not rate highly enough! Every guest said how lovely the music was and the ambience was relaxing. I booked this as a surprise for my partner who loved it and was bought to tears by the music as she walked down the isle. The communication throughout was first rate and they offered me advice and recommendations that suited my wedding and venue. Highly recommended to all... Thank-you for all you did Magenta Strings
