"We had Golden Gospel to sing at our wedding. They were absolutely fantastic, hanging with us through 3 postponements. They arrived early, they sang beautifully and were a huge part of the day being so special. Honestly - just book them, you won't be disappointed!"

"I just wanted to say how fabulous Capriccio are and what a brilliant variety of music they played at our wedding. From Beethoven, hymns, to rock music. The calm organisation, made booking and organising so easy and stress free! I would highly recommend to add a classy and unique touch to any celebration or party. Planning the next party and will definitely be seeing and hearing the quartet again! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special!"

"Outstanding! Deep Down Brass played at our wedding reception and were truly amazing. Adam and the rest of boys were great from start to finish. Communication with the band was quick and easy. They responded to dozens of questions we had in advance of the big day (usually within the hour) and helped to put together a wonderful playlist, accommodating several specific requests. They put our minds at ease with their responsiveness and professionalism. On the day, the band arrived on time, set up quickly and quietly and proceeded to play two wonderful 50min sets ranging from our first dance to some rather drunken dancing late in the evening. With a rather small wedding, we were concerned that no one would be dancing, but Deep Down Brass had everyone up and on the dance floor with their amazing music and infectious energy."

"Stephen and Milka played our wedding day on Saturday 23rd September and it was beautiful. They learned a different song for the processional, register signing, and recessional to make our ceremony music unique to us, and the setlist they played for the rest of the day was lovely. We had very positive comments from family and friends, some of whom shed a tear as soon as the music started. We'd like to say thank you again to Steve and Milka for helping to make our special day the best it could be."

"I just wanted to extend a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday. You were fantastic! I will never forget the look on my dads face as he started dancing immediately when you played Mr Blue Sky. All the guests very much enjoyed it! I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to say goodbye when you left I was swept up and didn't know if I was coming or going for most of the day! Thank you so much. Best wishes."

"We absolutely loved The Capriccio Quartet for our recent wedding. Their repertoire is very varied, they arrived early and started playing on time. It was a magical moment when they played Canon in D as I walked down the aisle, seamlessly switching to Elton John 'Your Song' and Snow Patrol as we signed the register. Everyone commented on how the music added so much to the atmosphere. They were absolute professionals and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wanted a really varied mix of modern and classical for their wedding! Thanks so much! "

"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

"We had the pleasure of working with the Warwickshire Quartet at a wedding we organised recently. Their performance during the ceremony and the drinks reception was amazing and they blended classic with contemporary pieces effortlessly. The wedding was themed to the Grand National and they had a piece of music arranged especially for it which suited the occasion perfectly and in the words of the Mother of the Bride ‘made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up’. It was great to work with friendly, professional and above all extremely talented musicians and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to our future clients. We look forward to working again together soon. "

"Our Wedding guests loved EM Strings. They played beautifully during the intimate ceremony and again for the drinks reception afterwards. They were the highlight of my day and brought much joy to the atmosphere, including dressing the part for our very special day. I fell in love with the group from the start because of their unique repertoire and they did not disappoint!"

"We just wanted to drop you a note to say a HUGE thank you for your performance at our wedding ceremony - your performance was so beautiful and I think Hoppipolla was the perfect bridal entrance song for the girls and I. Whilst short and sweet, you played an key part in the overall feel and vision for the day so thank you for helping to make it so perfect. Please do pass on our thanks to the other girls Rachel, who made up the trio with you. We will definitely be recommending you as a strings group to our friends and family for big events, and who knows, we may be back in touch with you for other big occasions in the future! Thanks once again, and all the best for the future. "
