"Just wanted to send an email to say a massive thank you for performing at our Wedding in Knowsley Hall on 30th July. We first heard you at an open day in the Hall some months before, and at the time you were playing Hoppipolla. We hadn't thought about booking a string quartet, but for some reason hearing you play this made me come over very emotional and we knew we had to have you playing me down the aisle to that song. From the moment we first enquired with you, you have been nothing but helpful and proffesional, and we knew we could rely on you. Even when I was flapping about the timings of the aisle music and worrying I would get the walk wrong, Rachel was quick to reassure me that you adapt the music as needed on the day to ensure the bride walks at the best part of the song,and the timing of the song could be finished as appropriate to the start of the ceremony. This, and everything else you played on the day worked perfectly. The songs you used were beautiful and set the tone of the day so well, you looked and sounded amazing. Our guests have all commented on how wonderful you were, and we really cannot thank you enough. "

"Dear Anne I had a great time on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed working with the orchestra and catching up with players from previous concerts. The orchestra really were responsive – especially the strings – and when rehearsal time is so short I felt that we were able to get straight down to the details which was very good.

"Just a short note to say how everybody really enjoyed Andrew singing at mums 90th party. A few people were literally reduced to tears at how good he was. Would you pass on to him our sincerest thanks for such a wonderful performance. I would certainly recommend him to anybody considering a similar event. Thank you also for your help organising the event and choice of songs. Mum was thrilled and hasn't stopped talking about it. "

"Wow! Magenta strings played beautifully at one of our church fundraising evenings by candlelight. Everyone was blown away by the music and the atmosphere. We will definitely be asking them back for our 2026 fundraiser! "

"Modern Strings was a pleasure to work with for our big day. They were professional from the outset and had a huge choice of songs we could choose from. Anyone thinking of a string quartet or similar for their special day should look know further than these guys. They are brilliant. "

"Hi Anne! Thank you so much! It was the best day. We really couldn’t of asked for a better day we both loved it. The trio were amazing! So beautiful in the church and at the hall after. 'As old as Time' sounded amazing and it worked out really well for everyone to enter! We had so many people come up to us and say how lovely the music was and the trio performed so well. Working with my dad to sing “At Last” during the register was just perfect. Thank you to yourself for the quick communication and help over email it has taken so much pressure off! And a massive thank you to you and the trio for the amazing performance and making our day :) All the best! "

"Thank you so much for providing the music for my dream Blue Danube night! The music was blissful and your company added to the evening. Thank you so much. Many people have asked for your details which I am more than happy to provide. A wonderful group of musicians who love their trade and ensure the guests have a magical experience. When I was on my own in the room and you played a waltz it was beyond anything I could have dreamt. A special moment. Thank you! Elaine x"
