"Dear Andrew and Sarah I am writing to thank you for a most memorable performance on Sunday. Andrew, you were fantastic, in every way. Firstly, you sang beautifully. Dad was so impressed by how you are able to deliver both the full bodied dramatic sound as well as the beautifully soft top notes in mezza voce. Wonderful. Secondly, your Italian and neapolitan pronunciation is exceptional, and many of the guests commented on this. It has truly been a pleasure meeting you and Sarah and I hope we shall stay in touch. Thank you again for making our father's very special day even more memorable. Party in Italy - April 2012"

"Surrey Strings arrived promptly, set up with no fuss in 2 locations (church and wedding reception) and played beautifully. Many guests commented on the excellence of the performance and we were delighted by contribution made to the atmosphere of the day. The responsiveness to requests made in advance for particular pieces also helped set the perfect tone for the two distinct performances. Highly recommended."

"I just wanted to say a massive Thank You for our wedding music. It was everything we could have hoped for and we received so many lovely compliments about yourselves, how you played and the music selection. People also commented on the pleasant ambience whilst we were having the wedding breakfast and that the music complimented rather overawed the atmosphere. It was a well selected and appropriate variety of tunes, which suited all ages. You blended in so well Thank you for your patience and advice re music choice which worked perfectly and also for adapting when required All in all brilliant"

"We want to say how wonderful your email below is, even before we get to the recording. We put a lot of original thinking into the ceremony and had a clear idea of what we wanted to do, including input in three different languages, all of which we managed to carry off thanks to Sonore’s willingness to take on an original piece (which was beautifully played) and to lead a Maori love song. For this reason we are so happy to hear you say that the ceremony will live long in the memory as this means an awful lot to us! We had also worried later in the day that the venue had done you a disservice by leading people into the Engine house and away from your performance, and while that was taking place Elly and I were all around the venue taking photographs. We heard you playing Winter Flowers and worried that there was no-one around at this point to hear it. To know that in fact you will have been preparing this recording therefore gives us a huge boost, not to mention that the recording is wonderful. Thank you so much I and we have sent this on to Lucy, who is rightly so happy with this. Your email and the recording lifted our spirits on this point so much - we were left with no words! And so it just remains to thank you again for your engagement and professionalism at the wedding. We have been very lucky to find you. We wish you all the very best and hope you will be involved in similar events for others in the future. We had never expected that we would benefit from working with a group as dedicated as yours, and for that, we were very lucky."

"I didn't get chance to thank you for playing at Rachel and Ian's wedding before you left but I just wanted to say how lovely it was to have Koniger Quartet playing the music on this amazing day. It made such a difference to have live music and it fitted the venue so perfectly. Please pass our thanks to your fellow players, you are all wonderfully talented. Thank you."

"Thank you so much for performing at our Piazza event on Thursday 24th April. You managed to create an ambience which bought the whole event together, the amount of positive feedback I have had has been incredible. Very professional, punctual and flexible with the added bonus of lots of smiles. I would most definitely recommend Warwickshire Trios to anybody and I look forward to working with you again in the future. "

"Just want to say a huge thank you from both Taha and me. You truly made our wedding magical and gave it such an elegant touch. Everybody absolutely loved both the harp and violin during the Nikkah ceremony. I am so glad that we were able to have it outdoors and you made it a dream! Thank you once again for everything over the past couple of months and for being very accommodating. I am so glad that I booked both the string quartet and harp and violin duet for the wedding. I will definitely be in touch for my siblings’ weddings in the future. Wishing you all the success in the world! You truly deserve it."

"Working with Lara and the girls in Hope String Quartet has been an absolute pleasure. Having contacted LIPA to enquire about availability of students, Lara from Hope String Quartet, was very prompt in responding with video footage and a bio. The Telegraph Cruise & Travel Show was a two day event at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool from 10am-5pm on Saturday and 10-4pm on Sunday. As the only string quartet at the event, it was quite demanding on the girls to play across both days with 1-1.5hrs sessions on a tight schedule. Their performances were fantastic and provided our visitors with a relaxing and intimate atmosphere within our Cream Tea Experience. We have received many lovely comments from our visitors since the show, and I would highly recommend Hope String Quartet for any event that requires a classy and sophisticated musical accompaniment.
