Reviews of Nouveau String Quartet

Gareth John and Nouveau Quartet were a highlight of our wedding day. Having Gareth involved felt especially meaningful - he was my music teacher, and that personal history added something to the occasion that we hadn't quite anticipated.

At our request, they arranged two songs specially for the quartet - one for the bride's entrance and one for the exit. Both were beautifully done, and it was a moment that clearly resonated with our guests too, judging by the number of people who mentioned it afterwards.

Throughout the ceremony and reception, Nouveau Quartet were faultless. They covered a fantastic mix of classical, pop and film music with real skill and warmth, and kept the atmosphere exactly right from start to finish.

If you're looking for live musicians for your wedding, we'd recommend them without hesitation.

We had the pleasure of hosting this talented duo at our showroom event, and they truly exceeded all expectations. Their performance was not only musically exceptional but also perfectly attuned to the ambiance we aimed to create. From the moment they began, they set a welcoming and vibrant tone that resonated with all our guests. Excellent!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful performance! It was such a delight working with all of you! Nouveau was absolutely wonderful! I asked for some very unique songs for my wedding and they did not disappoint. Gareth was so kind and helped curate the perfect Playlist. I hope to hear them play again soon!

The Nouveau Duo were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and provided the perfect musical accompaniment to our daughter's wedding. From the outset, Gareth was both professional and personable in all correspondence regarding the musical arrangements. And while the Nouveau Duo's impressively extensive repertoire of hymns, film music, rock, pop and classical pieces far exceeded what anyone could reasonably require for a wedding service and drinks reception, Gareth even went so far as to expertly craft an original arrangement of a particular favourite song at the couple's request. The musical talents of both Gareth and Nataliia were abundantly clear, their effortlessly exquisite playing fully displaying their mastery of their respective instruments and blending beautifully to charm and entertain our wedding guests of all ages. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone planning a wedding or event and have every confidence that you will be delighted to have the Nouveau Duo's music enhance your special day - we certainly were!

The string quartet sounded absolutely beautiful and made the ceremony extremely lovely! We and all the guests we talked to have nothing but positive things to say about you and the quartet, it sounded amazing and the songs choice was excellent! Many people commented on the tracks they recognized and enjoyed. We also truly appreciate the extra effort you've put to work with Gabe and Phil, it made the ceremony so personal and it couldn't have been done without your support, so we thank you very much. Best of luck to you and your colleagues!

Nouveau String Quartet made our special day even more special. From booking until the day it was a pleasure to speak to and plan alongside Gareth. The music was absolutely beautiful and each guest commented on how it really made our day even more perfect! Thank you all for such a perfect ceremony and entertainment during the drinks reception.

We booked the Nouveau Quartet for a Coronation Afternoon Tea event at Ardoe House Hotel in May 2023. They tailored the programme beautifully to our requirements, added in a section with patriotic pieces such as Nimrod, and we ended with the National Anthem. All so well thought out and played beautifully.

You guys were fabulous. I wish I had more time to listen to your afternoon set! I will certainly be recommending you to my couples!

I would highly recommend this string quartet to play at weddings. From the initial booking/planning stage, right through to playing on the big day they were totally amazing. Our guests loved them. Thank you X

I was thoroughly impressed by the event which was a great credit to you.

Your enthusiasm and energy abounds, and your incredible hard work is so much appreciated.
