"I wanted to thank you all for the wonderful music you provided at my daughter's wedding at Fonmon Castle on the 6th December. Our guests were very complimentary about your marvellous repertoire and the professional performance you treated us to on the day, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to my friends and colleagues. Thank you again for helping to make the day special."

"I am really pleased that you received some nice and very well deserved compliments on the night. Your delightful music absolutely set the right tone for the evening and all went according to plan. Our Chairman was very complimentary about the setting, the food and your music and summed it up as “very Nock Deighton” so we appear to have hit the right chord on all accounts."

"I was struggling to find a string quartet for our wedding in Oxfordshire that were in budget and played the style of music that we wanted. I was relieved when Liz from the 440 Quartet got back to me to say they were available and were happy to travel from Birmingham to Oxfordshire to play at our wedding. Liz went above and beyond to help us get our playlist just right learning new songs that they didn’t have in their repertoire. They played every song to perfection on the day and everyone really enjoyed listening to them throughout the ceremony and drinks reception. The mix of songs they played around our playlist worked perfectly. Thank you Liz for being so helpful and accommodating, we really appreciate it as it took so much stress out of the process for us. I cannot recommend The 440 String Quartet highly enough for any wedding or event. "

"My (now) wife and I booked the King’s Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and reception in November 2017, and they were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day. Despite contracting them at a relatively late stage (around three weeks before the event), they were very open to our requests, and the quality of their playing was excellent. As our wedding was quite small, their music really added to the ambience without overwhelming guests' conversations. We were also impressed with their professional service. They were smartly dressed, arrived exactly on time and managed the transition between the three rooms they had to play in without any problems."

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for giving us such a successful night at Chigwell Golf Club on Friday. Your singing was exemplary (as expected) but what I thought worked really well was the way in which you introduced each song and really engaged with your audience both before and during the song. Everyone I spoke to on the night, and over the weekend, said how much they’d enjoyed it I’m sure we’ll see you again at Chigwell. "

"Wow ! Shimmer Strings played at our wedding at Dumbleton Hall Hotel on 30 September 2022 and they were incredible. My wife walked into the ceremony to Canon in D and it was played so so beautifully! Shimmer Strings played during the ceremony aiding the choir in our hymns, signing the register songs and walk out songs! They continued to play at our drinks reception and the playlist was insane, especially hearing pop songs on strings! Two extremely talented individuals ! A lot of our guests commented on how good they were and what great songs they played. Throughout the build up to the wedding Rebecca was extremely responsive and we even had a brief video call to put our mind at ease. Nothing was too much trouble. Turned up punctually and generally brilliant to deal with. Could not recommend enough - exceptional !!"

"Just a quickie to say a huge “thank you” to everyone in the quartet for your beautiful performance on Saturday at Eastington Park; my only regret was that I didn’t get to hear more than I did! We had the most perfect day and you helped to make that possible. Thank you and I look forward to hearing future performances at other events"
