Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"We booked the Magenta string duet for our wedding at quite short notice. Very professional from start to finish! Added a real touch of class to proceedings! Beautiful music played throughout. Several wedding guests have given positive feedback on the live music. Highly recommended!!"

"Booking process via LMM was seamless and Sarah-Jane maintained regular contact throughout the process. Surrey Strings trio have a varied and extensive repertoire which enabled us to have our favourite pieces (both classical and popular music). The quality of musicianship was excellent. Their performance on the day was all we had hoped it would be and contributed hugely to the success of the day. We would have no hesitation in recommending both LMM and Surrey Strings"

"Devon strings were truly fantastic, they played beautifully and made our wedding day so special. They were a real stand out part of the wedding and we would recommend them to everyone!"

"I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the Ensemble for coming and playing yesterday. So many people, including ourselves, appreciated listening to you play but also the way in which you all integrated into the spirit of the occasion."

"We'd just like to say a huge thank you to you and your colleagues for playing the string quartet on our wedding day, it was truly beautiful and you ensured there was not a dry eye in the place when Jessica walked down the aisle to the bittersweet symphony! Both of us realised we did not get the chance to thank you all on the day, we are very sorry for this as it would have been great to talk to you and thank you in person! Thank you again for a remarkable wedding day! "

"I am just writing to say a huge thanks once again for all of the committee's hard work and support in organising our Brahms Requiem Concert last night- a real masterwork and so beautifully and detailed in its craftsmanship. I thought the Chamber Orchestra under Anne Tupling's leadership complemented the choir really way, never threatening to obscure or overwhelm the vocal sound but nurturing and supporting in all the best ways. "

"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 had a lovely day and especially enjoyed the experience of a string quartet playing on the lawn for us! The music was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for. The whole process of contacting and booking you was also very simple and I would be delighted to recommend you to anyone wanting a sophisticated and beautiful sound at their event! Best wishes Nicola "

"I was struggling to find a string quartet for our wedding in Oxfordshire that were in budget and played the style of music that we wanted. I was relieved when Liz from the 440 Quartet got back to me to say they were available and were happy to travel from Birmingham to Oxfordshire to play at our wedding. Liz went above and beyond to help us get our playlist just right learning new songs that they didn’t have in their repertoire. They played every song to perfection on the day and everyone really enjoyed listening to them throughout the ceremony and drinks reception. The mix of songs they played around our playlist worked perfectly. Thank you Liz for being so helpful and accommodating, we really appreciate it as it took so much stress out of the process for us. I cannot recommend The 440 String Quartet highly enough for any wedding or event. "

"The band were very genial and friendly, totally professional and well organised. There were no hiccups, they arrived and straight away started setting up with no fuss. Brass bands are such a good way to enjoy outdoor spaces easily, no need for cables and power etc. so this was perfect for us. The crowd loved it! Their music isn’t exactly traditional brass band tunes, which I was nervous would not be a crowd pleaser. However, their song choices were brilliant, and familiar enough that there was lots of humming, singing along, and dancing. Several of the children danced for the whole two hours, they absolutely loved it! The families were so happy. It was really a brilliant occasion. Exactly what we needed for our business after these lock downs. "

"Dear Anne, I’m so sorry for the slow reply. We just wanted to say thank you so much for your performance last Saturday. You were fantastic and everything was absolutely as we wanted it. The music during the ceremony, in particular, was really wonderful. I hope you enjoyed performing as much as we enjoyed having you there! Thank you so much again and all the best. Frances and Andy "

"We just wanted to say thank you so so so much for Thursday. You were amazing in every single way - everyone said how classy the music was. Thank you for being part of our special day. We had the BEST day ever - it's true what everyone says!! We are so sorry we didn't even get to say hi to you. We felt so rude, but just so busy with photos. We regret not saying thank you as you were both incredible!!! "
