"On behalf of all of us at Surbiton, I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for coming to play for us last night.  It was wonderful to have such accomplished, experienced musicians playing great tunes for us to dance to - a real treat.  I've had a lot of comments from people saying how good it was which I wanted to pass on, and I hope you can come and play for us again at one of our events when we are back up to full strength numbers.

"GG and her guitarist made our night! They came an hour earlier for set up, were proffessional and easy going. Started with mellow songs and in an hour got everybody from kids to 70+ year olds dancing to the funky notes. GG's voice is amazing! She has a lovely aura and able flex her style to the mood of the group. Can't thank enough for this memorable evening."

"Lou was just perfect! All the guests at our party kept thinking it was a CD playing - and couldn't believe it was live music. She's a true special person and talent. Would recommend her in a heartbeat. "

"Amy and Tolek made a wonderful contribution to Mum's funeral service. Amy spent some time ensuring she was using the correct versions of the hymns and songs and the guitar accompaniment by Tolek gave a more gentle and intimate feeling. It was all we had wished for. Thank you. "

"50th Birthday Party - What an amazing duo!!! The lads were totally brilliant and played the crowd perfectly. Alex and Jon are the nicest guys you could wish to meet and superb vocalists too. The song list was amazing and they mixed it up depending on the crowd and timings etc .. some belting tunes blasted out kept the party going well into the night. I can't recommend Lazy Marmalade enough and I would happily give a personal recommendation. The whole experience from initial contact through to sat having a beer with the lads at the end of the night was a pleasure. Cheers Darren & Claire Howson."

"How fortunate we were to have Caroline and the delightful ladies from Ariana String Quartet play at our wedding, each one of them possessing impressive musical prowess and with distinguished classical careers in highly reputed orchestras. The planning and coordination of pieces beforehand and on the day was seamless. So during the actual wedding, each previously chosen song was played as an accompaniment to significant moments: such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, the bride and groom walking into the wedding breakfast room. Everything was timed perfectly. Ariana had also learnt a few of the pieces especially for our wedding. In fact their renditions of the contemporary music we had asked for were not only flawless, but fantastic musical pieces in their own right, as diverse as Arctic Monkeys ‘Mardy Bum’, ‘Concerning Hobbits’ from the Lord of the Rings and Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’. Furthermore, they were easy to recognise and yet the original was transformed into a beautiful string version. Indeed everything they performed for us was unquestionably beautiful, dare-I-say-it, even better than the string renditions on Bridgerton! Classical musical connoisseurs present were mesmerised and intoxicated by every note. As I looked around the room, I witnessed every generation at the wedding enjoying Ariana’s performance. I heard so many positive comments from guests about them too. They delivered a simply captivating soundtrack to a joyous day for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough."
