"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 "

"The Sounds Interesting quartet were extremely professional on the day of my wedding. My guests loved listening to their take on modern music and having them play a 'thousand years' as my bride walked down the isle was something which will stay with me forever. Although myself and my new wife were whisked away for photos during the groups main set, my guests said they played some wonderful music. My only regret is that I didn't get to hear more of it. Anne was also very helpful on the lead up to my wedding day, full of advice for me and very helpful and understanding when I was choosing my music pieces. I would certainly recommend Sound Interesting Quartet to any one looking to add a touch of class to their event. Many thanks Anne, I will recommend you wherever possible in the future. Kev & Nicky"

"We hired for our wedding and right from initial contact the response time and information was great with very little input needed from us. The quartet arrived in plenty of time and were the perfect addition to our wedding day. We got so many compliments and they really helped create a lovely ambience for the cocktail hour and ceremony. We would recommend to anyone considering a 4 string quartet to absolutely go with the Wigornia String Quartet."

"Hi Anne, Sorry for the slow reply, it has been a busy week. I am glad they enjoyed it, we really enjoyed the music and many of our guests also commented to us how much their melodious playing had completed the ambiance of the evening, getting us off to a lovely start. Please pass on our thanks to the quartet for playing, and thanks to you for organising it all. All the best, Calum"

"Modern Strings did a fantastic job at our wedding. I asked for a string trio. They followed my instructions to the letter and were very cooperative during the event and in the run up to it. They brilliantly played additional pieces of music that were not on their repertoire. They also beautifully played a mixture of classical and popular songs. All guests commented how well they played and what a fantastic idea it was to have a live trio at our wedding. The trio were smiley and extremely friendly and reliable on our wedding day. I would recommend their services to my best of friends and family and would employ their services again should I have another event. Very well done and thank you for making our special day even more special. "

"Sophie is amazing. 14 out of 10. She gave great advice before the event and helped make the speech fun and unforgettable with perfect accompaniment for several song quotes and references. Her attention to detail during the event actually helped us keep to schedule. For the best ever event you need great friends, venue, food and Sophie's Quartet. "

"It was a pleasure to work with Palatine String Quartet. They were easy to work with and specially arranged a score for me to enter down the aisle, which was absolutely beautiful and magical. My guests loved their music and they took their cues very well. Overall very happy with the service thank you Palatine string quartet!"

"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."

"From my very first enquiry for my 30th birthday party, Deep Down Brass were so responsive and helpful, to the day of the event when they were there in plenty of time, set up without a fuss, looked amazing, we’re super flexible to my needs and played three fantastic sets which had the dance floor full all night. Particular highlights for me where when the band entered from all different corners of the room, my guests were wowed! And when Freed From Desire was playing during one of their between set breaks and they came out playing along, the room went mad and we had carnage for a few minutes! It was epic. Something so different to hear your favourite songs on brass. My guests are still talking about it now and I’m trying to think of an excuse for another party so I can book them again!"
