Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"The Cesarz Tabor Duo played while I walked down the aisle and it was so beautiful!! During the ceremony they played classical music and a piece we had chosen, then played some lovely jazz on the lawn while everyone had drinks. It really made our day!"

"Dear Anne, I can't thank you enough for playing at our wedding. We valued your assistance with choosing the most appropriate music to help create the ambience we wanted to achieve - relaxed and good humoured; Mission impossible was a stroke of genius and tickled our guests positively pink! I can honestly say that Sounds Interesting Duo set the tone for our day perfectly, thank you again. Katie Moloney."

"We hired the trio for our college ball in Oxford. They gave a fantastic performance, and brought a great atmosphere to the evening. They were also lovely to talk to, and very receptive to what you want. Would definitely recommend!"

"Huge thanks to you all for your wonderful singing on Saturday at Dartmouth House in London for Fred and Cassie’s wedding. It was a fantastic mood lifter and setter before and during the service, and everyone loved it. I’m looking forward to our 60th party and hope we can use you all again for that!"

"Caroline and Luke played at our wedding on Feb 24th in Bury St Edmunds and I cannot recommend Element String enough. They were absolutely fantastic and I feel lucky to have had them playing at our wedding. So many guests commented on the quality and variety of the music they played and how it created a great atmosphere for the event. From the outset we received quick responses from Caroline and a friendly and flexible approach. She was happy to adjust length of time and number of musicians to fit our budget. We had the duo to play as guests were arriving and having welcome drinks , then through the ceremony itself and for most of the drinks reception that followed. We had thought we would be indoors on the day given it was Feb but due to uncharacteristically hot weather , the drinks were taken outside onto the terrace. Caroline and Luke being very flexible moved outside with us which was amazing. The group have a good repertoire to select from so you can have classical for the more formal moments in your day and something more jazzy afterwards to give a party feel. The duo created the perfect level of sound for the size of our ceremony room and number of guests (around 85). If we had a greater budget we would have taken the trio or even quartet without thinking as their previous reviews were so positive. I’m sad that I didn’t get to meet Caroline and Luke properly to say a big thank you. On the wedding day itself everything just seems to happen around you without you having any chance to veer off schedule. I bumped into Caroline by chance as I was being shown into the dining room and she was lovely , very warm and friendly. She and Luke arrived nice and early to set up and what is great is they are fully acoustic. Everything you hear is fully their talent and no electrics/amplifiers and wires required so it is easy to set up in almost any part of the room you require. They created such atmosphere for our ceremony - I could not have been more delighted with them. If you are looking for musicians for your wedding or other event that are extremely talented in their range of music, flexible , easy to deal with , fairly priced and transparent - then look no further than Element Strings.

"We are so delighted to have found Caroline and friends. It was the icing on the cake for my husband and I’s joint 50th birthday celebration last Saturday night. They played a varied selection of music. Our guests thought they were brilliant. Caroline was lovely to deal with from start to finish. Definitely use again."

"The Gold Quartet performed at our wedding ceremony and reception and it was exactly what we were hoping for! We made a special request for our march in music and they were very quick to send us a demo which was very impressive. We are so glad to have them performing at our reception in the Sudeley Castle garden. They set the perfect tone while our guests and ourselves were enjoying the wine and music."

"Harpist Encanta played beautifully during the drinks reception on our Wedding Day. We first saw her at an Open Day at our venue and we fell in love ! She was a pleasure to speak with during our booking process and she played all our requested songs. If you’re looking for a talented harpist, look no further ! "

"We booked the Magenta string duet for our wedding at quite short notice. Very professional from start to finish! Added a real touch of class to proceedings! Beautiful music played throughout. Several wedding guests have given positive feedback on the live music. Highly recommended!!"

"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for tonight’s performance. I cannot say how incredible it was - I had so many people come up to me and say how amazing you were, the audience was transfixed! Utterly magical was the way many described it, and I agree. I hope we can persuade you to come back again next year!"
