Fantastic service and set list. Very much enjoyed by our visiting French Guests from our Twinned Town. We have used The Craxton String Quartet twice now and would highly recommend.

These guys were absolutely amazing. Slightly last minute planning on our part turned out better than expected when we asked if they had availablity. Molly was incredibly accomodating and made wonderful things happen.
The fact they have a list of all the songs they play available for us to pick, unlike any other musicians we found, made the process so easy.

They sounded fantastic, all were very friendly and polite.
Highly recommend

Thank you to Molly and the string quartet for making our wedding so special. They set up even during the touch and go English rainy weather and played so beautifully. Molly was super responsive in the lead up and played all our requested songs from her repertoire. It made our day so special and I can’t thank them enough. Everyone commented on how great they were and it really added to the day.

Molly and her quartet played for our Town Twinning Welcome Reception and we were delighted with the performance, as were our French guests. I would have no hesitation in recommending Molly's string quartet. The booking and music selection process was very easy - quickly and efficiently dealt with. They were on time and professional.

The Craxton String Quartet
Thank you so much for bringing so much joy and happiness to our wedding day through your music.
We will forever talk about the songs played and how much we loved the entire process from our initial enquire to our wedding day.
Walking the Aisle to Pretty Woman was a dream come true, a real pinch me moment which I will never forget.
Molly thank you so much for being on hand and so professional throughout our booking, you really do go above and beyond for your customers and provide a 5+ star service!
Our wedding guests still message and speak to us about the amazing songs which were played and how incredible you all were, a church full of love and atmosphere you could just feel it by having you play was the perfect setting for our guests.
I just wish we could relive this day all over again.
Thank you The Craxton String Quartet.

The Craxton String Quartet are fantastic! We had them for our wedding in October, Molly (whom I communicated with) couldn’t have been more perfect, so accommodating, friendly and professional. The music sounded amazing and added a huge element to our church wedding and our guests loved it. Compliments all round and certainly a must book!

Craxton Strings were a fabulous addition to our wedding day. We booked the quartet only 10 days before our wedding and despite this the process was very easy. The group has a fabulous musical repertoire, all of which can be listened to online, and allows you to fully customise your music selection, a process we greatly enjoyed. On the day the group were very flexible, due to the weather they had to play inside and over the noise of 200 guests, not an easy task, however they remained professional throughout and received a great number of compliments from our guests. We would not hesitate to book them again.

We booked The Craxton String Quartet for our wedding on 10th June 2023. We were so impressed with the performance of the string quartet, the music was absolutely wonderful and it made our ceremony more magical than we could ever imagine. Molly was even able to cater to our request for a very specific and niche song for the wedding aisle as I walked down; a song which was very special to myself and husband which has created a core memory we will never forget.
We had so many guests come up to us afterwards and rave about the performance; the string quartet was a bit of a surprise for our guests and as they arrived at our venue they were greeted by the most outstanding music which set the scene for the whole day. The guests loved the variety of music that was played, and they especially loved the 'I recognise this song' moments! I will never forget The Craxton String Quartet, booking them was one of the best decisions we ever made for our big day. Thank you Molly and Co!

We booked the string quartet for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant. They were reliable, professional and approachable throughout the booking process and were perfect for the wedding day. They covered a list of songs we asked for and even moved outside of the church so that we could hear them during the photos. It made a special day even more special - thank you. 10/10 and highly recommend to everyone!

I just want to express our thanks to you all for playing at our daughters wedding drinks reception on Saturday. The groom had no idea that we had arranged a string quartet and he was absolutely thrilled to hear you playing. We have had so many comments from guests to say how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you once again.
