"Hi Anne Thank you! We had the most wonderful day and the duo were fantastic (again!). They played in the beautiful sunshine and they really made the atmosphere. Ourselves, my parents, our guests and the hotel loved having them there and their wonderful music was enjoyed by everyone! I will send over some words to pass on when I’ve got a few minutes. But again, just wonderful! Thank you! Mrs. A. Wynne "

"This is to appreciate you and your team members for a lovely performance at our wedding vow renewal and 25th wedding anniversary which took place on the 11th of August. From the start when we first made contact, you made it easy to communicate with and the information you asked for certainly helped to make your part in the day seamless and smooth. You were punctual and professional. We hardly noticed you slip in and out of the room during your break times and at the end of the function. Our guests enjoyed your performance and were full of praise and positive comments about how much they loved the pieces you played. You certainly added some class and sophistication to our function. We will certainly recommend you to our friends and family members. Kindly extend our greetings to the other members of your team."

"We recently had the fantastic Warwickshire Strings play at our wedding and are so happy we did. They were absolutely perfect for a wedding day and all of our guests loved the blend of classical jazz and contemporary pop they played in their unique style. We can't recommend Warwickshire strings highly enough. "

" The Wigornia String Quartet have amazing talent! They played in two different locations splitting their time and nothing was too much to ask to ensure our wedding day was perfect! Our requested songs were played along with more beautiful tunes chosen by themselves and they were all stunning! They really added a special touch to our wedding, not to mention their support through our wedding journey of postponing our date twice! Thank you all! 1000% recommend X"

"Dear Anne I think it was one of the most enjoyable concerts I can remember. Your orchestra is always good, which is why we've encouraged Patrick to book you and let you choose the players. We are certain to ask for your help in the future. At least 2 of our 4 MD candidates know you! I think the choir did especially well, partly raising its game for Patrick but also because the music was fairly straight forward, we felt confident and performed rather than just sang! Sarah Ann was a delight and our experiment using Conservatoire soloists is proving successful. Best wishes Alistair  "

"Vitula String Quartet were, without question, one of the standout parts of our wedding at Grantley Hall. From the moment they began playing during our pre-ceremony drinks, through to the ceremony itself and the celebrations afterwards, they created the most incredible atmosphere. Everything felt elegant, effortless and beautifully considered. I had a very specific vision for the different feel I wanted at each stage of the day, and Vitula understood it completely. The music before the ceremony set the tone perfectly, the ceremony itself was incredibly beautiful and emotional, and afterwards they lifted the atmosphere seamlessly into something more celebratory. Every section felt completely different, yet flowed together perfectly. They moved between locations so smoothly that, as a bride, I never had to think about a thing. They simply appeared where they needed to be and continued playing, which made the whole experience feel incredibly polished and effortless. So many of our guests have spoken to us since about how exceptional they were and how much the music added to the day. They didn’t just provide background music — they genuinely helped create the feeling and atmosphere of our wedding and made it even more special than we had imagined. If you are considering booking Vitula String Quartet for your wedding or event, I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. They are exceptionally talented, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for being such a memorable part of our wedding. We are so grateful. Hannah & Andy xx Capacity level 100–200 people"

I'm so sorry for the ridiculously slow response to your lovely review! I didn't receive any notificiation and have just stumbled across it. You must think me very ungrateful. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of writing this, we really appreciate it. I hope you're well. Very best wishes Alison x

"I would appreciate it if you could pass sincere thanks to the choir on behalf of my mother and myself. Their music was beautiful and provided a fitting and solemn tribute to my father. I know he would have loved the music, in particular Heilig by Schubert. He really loved German choral music, and although I will never know if he had heard this particular piece, I know he would have enjoyed it. We had many comments from people who attended, saying how impressed they were with the choir, (including Father Francis) and the music really was very well received by all."
