"I first heard Andrew's music on a CD my Mum had and I absolutely loved it. He can make his violin sing in a really beautiful and harmonious way that is lovely to listen to. His Romantic Classics CD also seems to put my 7-week-old son in a very good mood!"

Dear Emily, thank you so much for the review. I think music is not just soothing, but also healing and spiritual, which makes it all worthwhile. It would be a pleasure to perform for you sometime or if you would like some more of my c.D's please let me know :) best wishes to all the family, Andreas

"My husband is a huge Cello fan so booking a cellist for our wedding was a priority. Claire's range of music was perfect from classical to popular and film, Claire also arranged Chai Mai as a special request for my husband which he was thrilled with. Ahead of the day Claire was fantastic to deal with and helped to make everything run smoothly. On the day she arrived early to set up and I could hear her while I was getting ready, which was so emotional. Claire played as guests were coming into the ceremony room, during the ceremony and during the drinks reception. It was all just so perfect, our only problem was that we didn't get to listen to her play as much as we would have liked, being pulled away for photos. We have only had the best feedback from our guests and we feel so privileged that Claire was part of our special day. Thank you so much x"

"Absolutely fantastic. Naomi played beautifully at our wedding, she travelled to our venue, and played perfectly with a pianist she’d never even met, it sounded amazing, our guests all loved it and commented on how polite and friendly she was. Really would recommend her. Thank-you so much from Mr & Mrs Knight"

"Ben is, without a doubt, one of the most talented musicians we have ever had the pleasure of hearing. We first came across him at a wedding fair, and after listening to him play for just a few minutes, we knew he was exactly who we wanted for our wedding day. Booking him turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ben was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. He took the time to listen to all of our requests and made sure every detail was exactly how we had imagined. His communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. On the day itself, Ben was absolutely outstanding. His music created the most beautiful atmosphere, and so many of our guests commented on how incredibly talented he was. His performance was flawless, and he brought such a special touch to every part of our day. He is able to play absolutely any genre of music and even learnt a new piece for our ceremony which I had requested. What really stood out, though, was how kind and flexible he was. My sister had been rehearsing to sing during our ceremony and was feeling really nervous and struggling in the lead-up to the wedding. Despite having very little notice and only a short amount of time to prepare, Ben stepped in to accompany her on the piano. He made her feel completely at ease, adapted effortlessly, and played beautifully. It could have been a stressful situation, but thanks to Ben’s talent, professionalism, and calm nature, it became one of the most memorable and emotional moments of our day. Ben truly went above and beyond for us. Not only is he an exceptionally gifted musician, but he is also a genuinely lovely person who clearly cares about making each couple’s day as special as possible. We honestly can’t say enough positive things about him. If you’re looking for a musician for your wedding or any special occasion, we couldn’t recommend Ben more highly. He exceeded every expectation and helped create memories that we will treasure forever. Thanks Ben!"

"They played at my sister's party at the Queen's House, Greenwich. I enjoyed their wide and varied repertoire, wonderful energy and really tight playing in an echoey hall. I would recommend Arabesque Strings to anybody, without hesitation."

"Alan recently played at our wedding, this was a surprise for our guests and everyone commented on how good he was. Alan was professional he kept in regular contact and even sent us a preview of the song that myself and my bridal party walked down the aisle to. I would be sure to book Alan again for any future events. Thank you, Alan, you helped make our day truly magical. "

"At this moment I am playing your beautiful CD’s remembering this time last year when I was busy sorting out arrangements for our wedding, and laughing to ourselves at all the things that happened along the way and that day. You are one of my happiest memories. I have been thinking of you lately and I do hope you are busy work wise, just a note to say you make people happy and trigger memories. "

"The artists were fantastic, turned up early, and were accommodating with the lack of space in a small church! They sounded amazing, everyone commented afterwards on the quality of their performance. It really made the day special and I'd happily recommend them."

"We were thrilled with the music! (On the 15th of May 2015 at Oxenfoord Castle). We thought you guys did a fantastic job during the ceremony. We have had a chance to look back at some of the videos and the pieces that we asked you to learn sounded great (2 new arrangements of Irish folk pieces). Unfortunately we missed most of the music during the drinks reception due having photos taken, but we spoke to lots of guests who all said the music was brilliant.  And I believe a few of the Canadian’s were trying to pressure you into staying longer – sorry about that!  Overall we had a great day, and we think our guests did too, and you and your players were a big part of that, so we’d like to thank you for your great effort."

"Thank you so much to Scotland Strings playing beautiful pieces of music throughout our wedding ceremony at Mansfield Traquair 29th March 2015. The string quartet created the most amazing and romantic atmosphere as our guests arrived, and it made the moment I walked down the aisle feel magical. They continued through our drinks reception, keeping our guests delighted and entertained while we snuck away for some time with the photographer. I would definitely recommend The Quartet – a talented and professional group of musicians playing effortless and seamless renditions of popular and traditional music. Thank you for being part of our special day and making it the most wonderful moment of our lives."

"I was so glad to book the quartet. They were accommodating, professional and played at a very high standard. In spite of it being 'flaming June', the weather was cold and wet so performing outside was something of a challenge! My guests would have remained listening for a further two hours if they had the chance. The performance turned a pleasant birthday lunch party into an extraordinary one, thank you."
