"Incredibly talented and so obliging. I kept changing my song requests and order and he just sorted everything out. Very calm person too which is exactly what you need. He just cracked on figured out how to get to and park at the venue (which isn’t easy) and played beautifully. Everyone was so pleased we picked classical/Spanish guitar. It just has a depth and gentleness for a wedding. I really would recommend above the usual string quartet. He was also very professional and incredibly punctual. He played at the church and headed straight to the venue in port Isaac hall. I’m inspired to get back into classical guitar again."

"I would like to say a massive Thank You for everything. For all your help and input from start until the big day. It went so well and everyone has commented on how fantastic you were. You play so well and I was amazed. It was so calming to hear you play before I entered the room. Once again, thank you for everything."

"Thank you for playing at my Birthday meal on Saturday evening. You fitted in perfectly into the classical setting of Swinfen Hall, and everyone has commented positively about your performance. You were brilliant. Just what I had hoped for when we booked you. The level was just right and the sets had a great mixture. Thank you again. To hear popular songs played with the cello was great and the rock set at the end was a perfect finale. Wishing you all the best for your future."

"I wanted to quickly send you a thank you - Dan and I both really enjoyed your performance, it was perfect and exactly what we'd hoped for. Throughout the evening and breakfast the next morning people could not praise your addition to our day any more! Even during our visit to Bruges we attended a harp concert. It really brought it right back to us!"

"Miriam's performances are very popular with our residents. Miriam is always very meticulous in her planning asking for suggestions and remembering individual resident's preferences. Props and lyrics are supplied which results in a polished presentation. Miriam's performances are interactive and inclusive, her musicality and talent are exceptional. We have enjoyed Xmas entertainment as well as 'last night of the proms' and Valentines is in the diary for next year already. We would recommend Miriam wholeheartedly and are happy to be contacted."

"Warwickshire Strings Quartet played at my wedding ceremony and for the duration of the drinks reception that followed it, which lasted for two hours. I had a clear picture of what I wanted and Warwickshire Strings allowed me to achieve this vision perfectly. Having done an extensive search on the internet, I chose Warwickshire Strings due to their extensive repertoire (one of the largest that I came across), the fact that they gave me free reign over the playlist and the impressive demos available online. Rachel was a pleasure to work with. Her communication was very efficient – she was happy to answer my queries and any questions I had were answered promptly. There were a couple of songs that I wanted for sentimental reasons that were not in their existing repertoire and she was able to source these at minimal cost. The quartet were fantastic on the day. All my guests complemented us on how much they enjoyed the music and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Warwickshire Strings to anyone looking for a string quartet. "

"Tamilla played at our wedding and was fantastic. We mostly chose songs from her repertoire but we did also have a few requests for her to play modern songs that weren't listed including a very obscure song from the Final Fantasy XX game. Somehow she managed to find a backing track and played the song beautifully during our register signing. The only reason we haven't given 10 stars is because we had a couple of little hiccoughs earlier in the year regarding a mix up with contracts/deposits and slow communication the month before the wedding (although this was because of health issues with Tamilla's family so was just bad luck on our part timing-wise). Otherwise, we would certainly recommend Tamilla as she's an amazing violinist and comes at a fair price."

Hi Justine, thank you for recognizing the quality of my performance on your wedding day, I did try very hard to find and rehearse the music you requested. As you have mentioned, two members of my immediate family had joint replacement operations within a week of each other, and I was a bit slow in replying, for which I apologized, but I think I have more than made up for any hiccups in communication by staying longer than the agreed contract and playing for your drink reception voluntarily and without being asked. I wish you all the best in the future. Tamilla

"May I take the opportunity of thanking the Devon Strings for such a wonderful afternoon. We had numerous positive comments about their performance and it made a real difference to the ambiance. Our guests felt that they made it a happy atmosphere and, together with the good weather, a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all. Please pass on my sincere thanks."
