"Gemma and I would like to thank Thames Valley String Quartet for their beautiful performance at our wedding. From start to finish, they oozed class and were the perfect accompaniment as our guests arrived for drinks and nibbles. Guests of young and old commented on their wonderful repertoire and as a personal surprise, they even arranged a version of our first dance song. As performers, Thames Valley String Quartet are highly skilled, professional and passionate. They take great pride in their work and deliver on the promises they make prior to the performance. Once again, we'd like to thank Thames Valley String Quartet for making our day even more magical! To anyone else considering a String Quartet at their event, we recommend them to you unreservedly."

"I can't thank and praise Stargazers enough for their fantastic performance. They got the guests up dancing immediately and were brilliant from start to finish, playing a great selection of tracks. Stargazers were also a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. Thank you!"

"Andrew was incredible. I had so many guests say they loved his performances. He was very good at mixing genres of music so the whole set felt seamless. He was also willing to move his set up from inside to outside as it was such a beautiful day which was amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again for another event."

"We saw this dynamic duo perform at a summer wedding and we were so wowed by their energy and talent that we booked them for our anniversary/birthday celebrations. Soul Messengers delivered a 2-hour set of classic songs with such fun, panache and sentimentality; we were dancing, singing and taking a trip down memory lane with the songs that marked the decades and our milestones. Azu's vocal range is amazing and Filippo is a master blaster on his guitar! They are polite, affable, very easy to communicate with and they truly put heart and soul into their fantabulous performances. Book this thrilling class act for your event if you enjoy their genre of songs. This accomplished duo will effortlessly jazz up celebrations in a cosy private setting or pull in the crowd for a big event. Whichever it is, they are guaranteed to make forever memories for you & your guests. We know because we've enjoyed their spectacular performances twice! The rapport with their audiences is heart-warmingly real. Thank you for everything. It was a totally stress-free booking and absolutely worth it."

"Wow! What an evening we had! We absolutely LOVED our wedding evening and you absolutely made the night! We LOVED the dances, and so did all our guests. I couldn’t get over how good you all were! Thank you SO much for being such an excellent band, to plan with before our wedding and to perform on the night. We’ve attached some photos, which we hope you like too! Thank you ever so much, and should we ever need a band in the future, we’ll be sure to get in contact with you!"

"Hop Skotshne's performance brought the soul of Klezmer music to life in such a vibrant and authentic way. Their spirited renditions of lesser-known traditional melodies and the range of emotion was truly captivating. It was an unforgettable night filled with music and culture!"

"This quartet played at my wedding in August, after originally being booked for August 2020! They accomodated to 3 different wedding dates for us in the end, due to 2 postponements! Yhe communication throughout an insanely stressful 2 years was amazing, Kim even waivered the admin fee of changing the date twice due to money issues from loss of earnings during Covid. I had a particular piece of music I wanted to walk down the aisle to from Game Of Thrones, but it had never been arranged for a string quartet. This was not an issue for the amazing team, who spent months listening to the original and making me my own bespoke piece of music by recreating it. They played before my ceremony whilst guests were arriving, during the drinks reception whilst my husband and I went away for private photos and then even stayed a little longer. My guests absolutely adored them, they played loads of music from films and TV shows and even the children were recognising certain songs! They also played a bit of Def Leppard and took requests from very keen guests. They made the atmosphere and were so lovely to be around. 6 months later, I will still see people that attended and they'll say "oh my gosh, your string quartet was amazing!" Well worth the money and the wait. Added something spectacular to our beautiful day that we will never forget. Thank you "

"It Takes 2" played at our Summer BBQ on our works site on the 15th June. We had a Wild West theme and the band did one set of country and western then a second set of modern day covers. They were amazing! Everyone loved it! From the minute I contacted the band, their communication and flexibility were second to nonw. Very reasonably priced too, great value. I highly recommend this band and we will definitely use them again. Thank you!"
