"Dear Anne, Huge thanks to you and the orchestra for last night's concert. My hope was to create something joyous and celebratory - Vivaldi and Handel definitely obliged. Thanks for all your care, support, attention to detail and translation of my expression markings for the players. I was so pleased - reaction and fire. Please would you pass on my best wishes and thanks to everyone for being so brilliant. Thank you, Tony"

"The Miacats performed at my 8th anniversary party and they were superb. Their versions of classic songs were mellow and upbeat in all the right places. I will be booking them again."

"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."

"Kay was nothing but outstanding for our wedding and we couldn’t recommend enough. Kay played for our ceremony and reception drinks and every single person commented on how good her music was. We had one call with Kay, after booking fairly late compared to some, and nothing was too much stress for her. We’re hoping to host another event at some point just so we can look to book her again!"

"Lion Strings plays beautifully and created a wonderful atmosphere at our wedding, she came in, got on with setting up and made little fuss which was perfect with everything else going on on a wedding day. I have had magnificent feedback from wedding guests who saw her as a highlight of the day. Simply a wonderful woman and musician who people should not hesitate to have st their special days. "
