Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"We booked Sounds Interesting around 6 weeks before our wedding as a last minute idea. We had only viewed the video clip on the website and so were a little apprehensive about how it would pan out on the day. However, we need not have worried. The quartet were fantastic. The songs we had chosen were even better than we had imagined. As I (the bride) was a little late to the venue, the quartet ended up playing a couple more songs than planned. They were excellent and really added that extra something to our ceremony, making it personal and unique to us. Worth every penny! "

"Just to thank you for the wonderful concert in Meole Brace yesterday. The choice of music was inspired - I love Baroque and Romantic above all others. The venue was perfect and the whole musical experience was first rate. The "live" atmosphere was excellent. My first of your concerts I have experienced and not my last. Please come to Meole Brace again. i'll look out in my email box. How about a Bach Suite? Holst St Paul Suite? Finzi Prelude for string orchestra or Introit for Solo Violin & Small Orchestra - Op. 6? Thanks again for raising the bar of culture in Meole Brace!"

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined just how fantastic your performance was going to be! I have had more comments about your performance than anything else at my wedding. The room was bursting with emotion, it was fantastic!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the rest of the quartet for being amazing at our wedding. Everyone commented on how great you were, from children recognising the modern pop songs to the grandparents enjoying the classics!! You were perfect for the pre ceremony music - I remember walking in Stanley House and hearing you on the balcony and thinking it sounded amazing. You were also excellent at the drinks reception - the perfect balance of live performance but back ground music if that makes sense? I would also like to say that as a bride planning a wedding with a million and one things to think about you were always really easy to deal with, quick at responding and of course 100% reliable! I would definitely recommend The Bridgewater String Quartet, especially for weddings as it really does add a touch of class to your special day."

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

"Thank you so much for treating us to a brilliant evening at the church last night. It was just wonderful, and the village is buzzing this morning saying how much they enjoyed the music. It was our first concert in the church, and you showcased beautifully how good this could be in the future."

"Deep Down Brass are the ultimate crowd pleaser! They are an absolute hit with everyone and got our customers dancing every night over the festive period. Couldn’t recommend them enough - they are our 'go to’ for entertainment."

"Marino Strings (duo of violin and cello) played for us before, during and following our wedding ceremony. For the ceremony we had selected different classical pieces and during the drinks we enjoyed more contemporary and uptempo music. Their extensive and varied repertoire gave us enough to choose from! To make it extra special, they also arranged “our song” to violin and cello especially for us. The communication with Jessica prior to the wedding was really easy and they really added a very special touch to our day. More than happy to recommend!"

"Dear Rachel, I am sorry that I did not get to meet, greet , say thank you and goodbye to the quartet. The beginning of the day did not quite go as planned which led to a follow on of change in plans. This left us somewhat disconcerted and by the time we got to the library I think the allocated time for yourselves had elapsed. The music upstairs was beautiful and the guests I spoke to after told me that the music that you kindly played downstairs was wonderful. Leah really loved her entrance music which meant a lot to her. Thank you so much for the beautiful music. Kind regards Anwaar and Leah"

"We had the quartet play our ceremony and drinks reception. We received so many compliments and comments from guests who were gathering around them to dance and listen. It went down very well we are so happy we found you !"
