"Perfect addition to our wedding day. Sounded amazing outside in the sunshine at Buxted Park. Excellent communication leading up to the event. Lots of our guests were blown away with how great they sounded. Will recommend to anyone that wants that little extra for their wedding music. "

"Dear Anne  We had a lovely day and especially enjoyed the experience of a string quartet playing on the lawn for us!  The music was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for.  The whole process of contacting and booking you was also very simple and I would be delighted to recommend you to anyone wanting a sophisticated and beautiful sound at their event!  Best wishes Nicola  "

"We asked the Ebor Quartet to play at our wedding, and this was one of the best decisions I made! The music was stunning, played perfectly and created an incredible atmosphere! The quartet played whilst guests arrived, as I walked down the aisle, during the drinks reception and whilst we ate. Communication with Conor was professional, fast and clear! Nothing seemed like too much trouble, they went above and beyond for us! We received a lot of compliments about the quartet on the day, and after the wedding! A huge thank you to Conor and the musicians for adding their magic to our big day! Xx"

"We booked Astri Strings for our celebration event at The Post Barn, Newbury. Jude was a delight to deal with during the booking stage, gave us a lovely pre-event call to check everything was in order and arrived as planned on the day. Jude and Vicki provided the perfect background music for our event with a gorgeous mix of Classical and Bridgerton style music to welcome guests arriving. Everyone appreciated having live musicians as they looked fabulous and sounded fantastic. Thank you both, from the WD Farmers team, for making our event extra special. July 2024 "

"I would just like to say a massive thank you, for playing at our wedding 22/7/16. We wanted something a little bit different for our wedding, for our guests to enjoy whilst relaxing at our venue. After finding North West String Quartet on Last Minute Musicians and listening to their fantastic and professional recordings on their website, I got the thumbs up from my very musical brother, and booked them. I was utterly thrilled with their professional service and attention to detail with regards to choosing songs for before, during and after the ceremony. Their repertoire is extensive and current whilst also including some fantastic classical options. There was also the option to select a piece of music that wasn't on the repertoire list. This came at a very small additional cost but was one of the best decisions we made for the day. We had an acoustic version of "Time After Time" put together for the Bridal Party entrance and it was truly stunning. All of our guests commented on how beautifully the music had been arranged. If you ever record this piece please let us know so we can purchase a copy. Following the ceremony you kept our guests entertained and helped to contribute to a fantastic atmosphere. I can't thank you enough. Please do not have any hesitations in booking this fabulous String Quartet, they are truly talented young musicians."

"Thank you so much, you were an amazing addition to our day, incredible value for money and happy to learn songs that we requested as part of the ceremony, playing them flawlessly. It was really great background music hearing modern songs played by a string quartet - we had many compliments from our guests and would highly recommend you to all of our friends."

"They played at my sister's party at the Queen's House, Greenwich. I enjoyed their wide and varied repertoire, wonderful energy and really tight playing in an echoey hall. I would recommend Arabesque Strings to anybody, without hesitation."

"Dear Anne, Thank you so much for organising a splendid orchestra for me on Saturday night. Thank you also for your dedication to the music. It is always a pleasure to work with you. You are such an asset to the community! The orchestral players are such a nice bunch of people to work with and it is great to have many of the same players back over and over again. As usual it was a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you for bringing the Cherubini to life for us. The orchestral colour adds so much to what is a rarely performed work and you did it superbly. We were very privileged to have such a talented pianist for the Tchaikovsky Concerto, which I know is also a challenge for the orchestra to play, especially with only an hour and a quarter to rehearse it! - But we did it and the audience were thrilled - the standing ovation was testament to that. As ever it was a pleasure to work with you all. All the best. "

So sorry we weren't able to personally come to say thank you to you all as we were dragged away for photos! You made our day so special thank you!!"
