"We first heard the Songbird String Quartet at a Wedding Fayre and it did not take us long to know that they were perfect for our big day. They gave us some short examples of different styles of music which had a real quality. In the build up to the wedding the quartet were always happy to take any requests for them to arrange, of course they need lead time for this. On the day the quartet arrived and, knowing our intent, set off with playing our programme of music. So taken with them, we booked them for a lot of the day and they were fantastic throughout our ceremony, during the photographs and during the wedding breakfast. Not only did the Songbird String Quartet bring a touch of class to our wedding, they were so supportive of the music we wanted and the occasion - they have a true sense of timing and mood. The quality of their music is stunning - you really can not go wrong booking them for your big day."

"What can I say? The band were incredible! Really easy to deal with before the day, and really made our evening celebrations special on the day itself. They read the crowd perfectly, and so many people were commenting on how much fun they were having. I'd book them again in a heartbeat!"

"Hi Davie, We're just back from honeymoon and wanted to thank you for the music - everyone loved it and the Zorba the Greek was just spectacular! I can’t quite remember if we thanked you at the end of the night (ski shot to blame) but if we didn’t, apologies and we would have no problems recommending you again! Hope there were no china injuries to you or the equipment! Many thanks! "

"Couldn't fault Michael, he had great communication with me ahead of the event and even questioned if there was anything specific he should wear, which was great as our event had a dress code theme. He was prompt and his performance was fab! Would definitely book again and recommend to others :)"

"Fabulous band. Amazing selection of music and got everyone up on dancefloor. Great musicians and singers. And accommodating - we didn't start until much later than predicted but they were able to flex the timings. Great organisation by Ben in advance meant that all the logistics went very smoothly. I would highly recommend and use again!"

"The Belles were sensational at our festival! Their harmonies were spot on, and they had a great selection of songs that everyone loved. They were professional, charismatic, and really engaged with the crowd. Everyone was talking about how great they were long after their set ended. Absolutely would book them again!"

"These guys were simply brilliant. Pre-show: During the months prior, James was always prompt in responding to any questions or queries we had. He and was polite, inforative and knowledgable - the band's FAQs also answered a lot of questions we had ahead of time. Our choices: James and the band had no troubles accommodating our song choices which were well-rehearsed, slick and clearly had time and effort put in to them for us - this really did make us feel like the songs that were so special to us were equally valued by the band. The Get-In: The guys turned up and made themselves known, they ran a really slick get-in and setup which was not intrusive or disturbing to anything else happening around. We had a slight power issue ourselves but the guys made it their business to lend a hand and help out in any way they could (Safely and legally within their means, I should add - taking into account electrical safety / H&S etc.) The show: Simply brilliant. We chose the guys off of the back of their well-produced and slick website and marketing videos and boy did they deliver! There was no deviation in the quality between the marketing videos and the live performance which is always a huge plus. We continue to receive comments on the quality, care and attention the band put into their performances (Both the acoustic set and full band sets) - it may have just been another gig for the guys, but you wouldn't have known it. They were on point, on the ball and sounded bloody brilliant all day and all night. Overall: They were brilliant. We had a few scheduling issues that we had to adapt to on the night, but the guys were always friendly, smiling and accommodating. They could've easily turned round and stuck to the pre-agreed schedule but they wanted to make the evening the best they could and put their heart into what they were doing. Their professinalism and experience really shined through - working with us, making suggestions and rejigging their set lists on the fly to fit the time we had remaining, compress three sets to two, drop the 'DJ' set at the end (We had an 11pm curfew) and chose to play right up until the last song. I stress, they really didn't have to do this, but they really wanted to deliver the best show they could - their personal touch was really appreciated and truly took the band from being more than just brilliant as performers. They demonstrated themselves to be exceptional experienced professionals who really put their heart into every single event. I would gladly recommend them and you will not be disappointed."

"Lisa did the music in the church for our wedding. I gave her a list of songs I wanted, some of them she didn't know but was willing to learn for our big day. She was very helpful at filling in the bits I had neglected and selected some beautiful pieces of music. Although the day is a bit of a blur to me, everyone still comments on how amazing the music was. She also sang our first dance with the band which was very special. I think the band would have kept her all night! I'd highly recommend her. "
