Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"Royal String Ensemble played at our wedding ceremony at Gaynes Park, in Epping Forest on the 3rd of January 2017. The group were absolutely fantastic, many of my guests came up to me in the reception to comment and how good they were. The band were highly professional and very attentive to my ideas, they were happy to mix their conventional classical music pieces with some modern pop songs I had selected. The band met with me prior to my wedding day for an initial consultation to discuss what I'd like on the day, the format, theme of the wedding etc., they then provided me with some ideas of music that they had played at other weddings and were always extremely responsive to my emails. In particular the band really stood out and went the extra mile by kindly agreeing accompany my brother and sister (both amateur guitar and drum players) in playing a song at our wedding. This involved them re-writing the sheet music in the correct key, meeting with my brother and sister one evening to rehearse the song, and then arriving at the ceremony earlier than usual to rehearse with my brother/sister before the start of the ceremony. They are a fantastic group and I am sure they will have a hugely successful future ahead of them, they certainly made my wedding ceremony very special and unique, as one of my guests said when describing their music "they are certainly one to remember.""

"Thank you so much for the beautiful music! All of our guests absolutely loved the songs you played & it kept them hugely entertained while waiting for the ceremony. I was sorry we were late walking down the aisle. The planned timings didn’t quite go to plan. I hugely appreciated how you kept the guests thoroughly entertained while waiting. They all said how upbeat and beautiful sounding you were. A massive thank you from both of us. Natalya, your music made the ceremony extra special and romantic! it really did, absolutely beautiful"

"Hi Anne, Thank you so much for your message and an even bigger thank you for the beautiful music you played. I remember clearly thinking as I was waiting to walk down the aisle how amazing you sounded. Apologies we didn't get to come and say hi, before we knew it the 3 hours has gone! Thank you so much again, the quartet definitely finished off the ceremony and drinks reception perfectly and we have received so many comments to say how much people enjoyed your performance.  You all really did finish the day off perfectly for us Emily and Chris x Sent from my iPhone"

"We booked Trio Capriccio for our summer wedding at Tutbury Castle after discovering them at the NEC wedding show. We used their wide repertoire to create playlists for when guests arrived, photo sessions, etc., and the important aisle music including a special themed piece from a well known sci-fi film for the exit, which all the guests loved. As the bride arrived fashionably late due to the English weather, this was not an issue as the seamlessly played on with a good selection of classical pieces. Overall they were perfect for the wedding and made it a very special day. We cannot recommend them more highly."

"I just wanted to say a big thank to you all for playing at our wedding yesterday. My only regret on what was a fantastic day was that I didn't get to hear more of your beautiful music. All of our guests said how much they enjoyed your playing & that it was a bonus that you were all so good looking too! "

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

"Morning Anne Sorry, I've been away from my desk for a week... and in the midst of a four week study leave. But just catching up with an email or two. Thank you so much for arranging this... the music was beautiful, and apart from a rain shower or two the BBQ went brilliantly well as we celebrated our 150th. Very grateful. I think you're doing a wedding with us in September, see you then if not before! "

"The Romanza string quartet played for our wedding and were absolutely superb. Helen was wonderful at communicating with me prior to the event via email. They had an extensive repertoire and we chose classical music for the ceremony and pop afterwards. They made the day feel so special - thank you so much!"

"We booked the string duo for our small wedding to play the ceremony and drinks reception. They were absolutely fantastic! There was good communication prior to the event and they were very accommodating with song choices. During the event they bravely played during some questionable weather under a parasol. They played beautifully and adapted seamlessly to ceremony timings. Thank you so much for making our day!"

"We booked the Koniger Quartet for our wedding in June 2017. They were great and were willing to learn two new pieces especially for our ceremony which I thought was exceptional service. They were responsive, reliable and great musicians. I would highly recommend."

"Can honestly say that the quartet was one of the best parts of our wedding. Blending classical and rock as well as the sudden rush back in for the Star Wars cantina song. What can I say, 10 out of 10 would recommend purely for recreation as well as for official functions!"
