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!"

"Where were you on Wednesday 25th May at 6pm? If the answer is anywhere but at Gratot church, you missed a treat! The people who were in the audience were richly entertained by a trio of talented musicians who freely gave of their time in order to raise funds in support of Ukraine. The programme was widely varied and featured Irene Donnelly (who sang in four languages, no mean feat ) , hitting some incredibly high notes, and violinist/violist Anne Tupling who played with a mellifluous or exciting tone as demanded by the different genres of music.  The concert started appropriately with Ukrainian folk music by Verchovino, featuring all three performers, in which you could sense the stamping of boots and clapping of hands, portrayed by the strong rhythmic beat. This set the high standard for the rest of the evening. We were treated to music by composers ranging from Handel to Gershwin, Puccini to Cole Porter, and also to the haunting Ashokan Farewell (written 40 years ago by the American composer, Jay Ungar), played with great sensitivity by Anne. This was possibly my favourite performance in the musical pot pourri. The evening was a resounding success and raised the wonderful sum of £600 to go to help those who have lost so much. Thank you for organising the event and bravo to the musicians for a memorable evening. You seemed to enjoy performing as much as we enjoyed listening. Encore please!"

"David and I would like to extend a huge thanks to yourself and your fellow players for making our Civil Partnership so incredibly special. Everyone was talking about how romantic, inspiring and beautifully scene-setting your playing was, I listened by my room window as I got ready for my big day and kept smiling as I heard our chosen tracks played so stunningly. All our guests commented on our Harry Potter theme entrance, and Signed, sealed, delivered as we put our signatures on official documents - your trio was a talking point for the rest of the day as everyone told us how much they enjoyed it. So, again, thank you so very much for taking my breath away at each note, and making our day one to remember. we cannot recommend your trio highly enough. With love and thanks "

"Matthew and I wanted to say a big thank you to you and all of the Ariana String Quartet for your beautiful playing at our wedding on 8th July. It brought a tear to my eye as I was waiting to walk down the aisle and the opening of the second movement of the emperor concerto started, and the timing worked out perfectly! We had lots of comments on the day about how good your playing was, and how seamlessly you moved around the venue! My husband the Beethoven fan was extremely happy, as was his sister who is a huge fan of Mozart - apparently your selections before the ceremony made her very happy!"

"We booked Marino Strings as a duo a few weeks before our wedding as we decided we really needed some live music for our drinks reception. We were so pleased that we did! They were extremely responsive and helpful before the event. On the day, they were fantastic - professional, smart and most importantly, so talented. They really added to the atmosphere and we had lots of comments from guests about how much they enjoyed the music. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!"
