"Palatine String Quartet played for us this weekend at my daughter’s engagement and graduation garden celebration. I can’t say enough good things about them. Talented, creative, very flexible on repertoire, and a joy to have here. Our guests loved it. We’ll certainly have them back at the first opportunity."

"Thank you so very much for being at our wedding, Songbird String Quartet were incredible, you sounded simply amazing. We're so happy we booked you, all of friends and family also said how much you added to the lovely atmosphere of our ceremony and drinks reception. Thank you for playing the songs we requested as well, they sounded so wonderful. Very professional and helpful on the run up to wedding. We would recommend you to anyone!"

"We were privileged to have North East Serenade for the first part of our son's wedding. This helped create a great atmosphere pre and post ceremony. They have an extensive repertoire from which to choose and will even arrange requests as long as they are given adequate notice. We are very pleased that they were able to attend and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"We had a wonderful experience with the quartet. They were very responsive to all of our messages and had such a large choice of music for us to select from. They were really helpful with suggestions as to what music would suit different parts of our wedding. On the day they were fantastic and seemed to do everything without needing to ask us any questions which was nice given how busy we were on the day. The music itself was beautiful. We had lots of comments from people about how good it was, and it really set the tone for the wedding."

"Hi Anne!  Thank you to all of you for playing at our wedding yesterday, it was the most amazing day and you all sounded fantastic.  I just want to say thank you for playing extra time as well due to the cars being late... That's so kind of you.  If you wouldn't mind, It would be great if you could send me an address so I can post a little something on to say thank you. Thanks again Danielle and Ged x Sent from my iPhone"

"Thank you again for making our day so special. Everyone still can't stop talking about you all and can't wait to book to see you in concert. And we most certainly keep replaying all the pieces in our heads - and humming at our desks at work, now that we're back to normal day to day life."

"Jude and Vicki played at our wedding reception and they were really fantastic! Their music was exactly what we had hoped for and brought a warm and relaxed atmosphere that was perfect during the outdoor drinks and canape reception. Our guest are still talking about how beautifully they played and loved the set list choices that blended a classical charm and modern songs. They are professional, graceful, and genuinely lovely performers and we are so so happy that we chose them to play on our special day. Fiona and Scott Wasing July 2025"

"Dear Anne, Just a brief note to congratulate you on leading and assembling a really great ensemble for tonight. From the organ bench I could hear the detail and also, remarkably considering they were facing away from me, the solos with great clarity, the sign of a sympathetic orchestra. All the best, David"

"I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on Thursday to say thank you for the wonderful music (on 8th October 2015 at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh) , both Martin and I were caught up in the whirlwind of emotions! Thank you so much, it really made the atmosphere so special and I know our guests enjoyed hearing you play. In particular your version of ‘One Day Like This’ was amazing."
