"Hi Aly, Richard and I wanted to say thank you very much to you and the band for an excellent wedding ceilidh on Saturday evening. We had an absolutely wonderful evening and a large part of that was thanks to yourselves for providing such a fantastic ceilidh. The calling was great and allowed everyone to get involved even if they had never been to a ceilidh before. The music was second to none & made for a wonderful atmosphere all night. Thank you all so much, Best wishes, Hollie & Richard"

"How fortunate we were to have Caroline and the delightful ladies from Ariana String Quartet play at our wedding, each one of them possessing impressive musical prowess and with distinguished classical careers in highly reputed orchestras. The planning and coordination of pieces beforehand and on the day was seamless. So during the actual wedding, each previously chosen song was played as an accompaniment to significant moments: such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, the bride and groom walking into the wedding breakfast room. Everything was timed perfectly. Ariana had also learnt a few of the pieces especially for our wedding. In fact their renditions of the contemporary music we had asked for were not only flawless, but fantastic musical pieces in their own right, as diverse as Arctic Monkeys ‘Mardy Bum’, ‘Concerning Hobbits’ from the Lord of the Rings and Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’. Furthermore, they were easy to recognise and yet the original was transformed into a beautiful string version. Indeed everything they performed for us was unquestionably beautiful, dare-I-say-it, even better than the string renditions on Bridgerton! Classical musical connoisseurs present were mesmerised and intoxicated by every note. As I looked around the room, I witnessed every generation at the wedding enjoying Ariana’s performance. I heard so many positive comments from guests about them too. They delivered a simply captivating soundtrack to a joyous day for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Really pleased with Bowfiddle Strings. They played at my party as guests arrived and managed a modern twist to my eclectic taste in music. Dealt with Laura, who organised it all for me. Made suggestions that were great, as I had no idea really idea to begin with. Would use again and have already been to a concert that they have played at. The quality of playing was / is splendiferous, and we had many complimentary comments made about Bowfiddle Strings at the party."
