"We booked the Donaghue Quartet after finding them on the internet, for my fathers memorial service. They were just fantastic and made the whole service very special indeed, their solo pieces were just fantastic. Their were well rehearsed and we can’t thank them enough for turning the service into something very unique and very memorable- thank you ? "

"Stretto Ensemble were excellent on the day of my daughter's wedding. They played beautifully and in particular adapted a specific piece to play as my daughter walked down the aisle. I would highly recommend them for their talent and professionalism throughout the wedding service and drinks reception."

"We just wanted to very belatedly get in touch to say a huge thank you to you and Dorchester Strings for your beautiful performances for our wedding on 7 May. We had so many compliments on the day and since, including about at what a difference it made to the atmosphere. Everyone loved the ceremony music (even if it made so many of us cry!) and the impact on the drinks reception was just wonderful. We hope you could hear everyone up top clapping as you finished! The music choices got referenced by the best man during the speech later and you got a cheer in absentia. Our sincere thanks for such a beautiful, skilled addition to our celebration."

"Gary and I would like to thank you for your exquisite performance at our wedding (Cameron House, 17th June). Indeed, during the day, we received lots of compliments about your playing, from our guests. Some even asked how we’d found you, whilst others commented on how refreshing it was to have harp music at our wedding! I hope you realise how much we enjoyed it even though we didn’t hear as much as everyone else. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you spent going through music with my parents and I. I’m sure you know that our knowledge of harp music is somewhat limited, and the time you spent with us was a great help in helping us decide the type of music I wanted played. Your professionalism and competence (not to mention friendliness) shone through and more than allayed my fears. I was pleased that you were to play at our special day!"

"The guys from Stretto were brilliant on the day. We had requested a song that wasn't on their song list to be played for the ceremony entrance, they were able to find the sheet music for the song and they played it beautifully on the day. It was quite a hot day on our wedding day so we were outside in the gardens for our drinks reception, the guys from Stretto were so professional and tried to follow the crowd of guests as we moved around the gardens for photos. I would highly recommend Stretto Ensembles. Thank you again "

"We couldn’t recommend Dahlia highly enough! Heather was so prompt and friendly with communication in the lead-up to our wedding, and incredibly accommodating with our requests. They played everything perfectly on the day and made the music feel so personal and special to us. Their repertoire was fabulous and it created such a lovely atmosphere during our drinks reception. Our only regret is that, as bride and groom, we didn’t have more time to sit and properly listen to them ourselves! Dahlia also played at my brother’s wedding, so they’ve now made two family weddings extra special. Thank you for the beautiful music at both - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!"

"Hi Aly, Just wanted to email to say what an amazing night we had at our wedding ceilidh. Everyone commented on what a fantastic, fun night they had. We knew it would get people up dancing but we couldn't believe how full the dance floor was! From people who had never been to a ceilidh, to our Scottish friends, everyone had the time of their lives! Thank you again, and also thank you for allowing us to use your PA system and lights. This worked perfectly for the disco after the ceilidh! We will definitely recommend you to anyone considering a ceilidh. We wish we could do it all again. Thanks, Steve & Sarah"

"I wanted to let you know what a wonderful surprise it was for Tom to see you playing Happy Birthday for him and to follow it up with a marvelous selection of tunes. He and his wife are still talking about the surprise party and I should like to thank you for making his day all that bit special. You all went the extra mile to make it work for him and for that I thank you. "

"We were introduced to Jean through Sarah-Jane 2 days before our wedding day. Jean was an outstanding Harpist and a pleasure to deal with. She arrived well ahead of the time to ensure she wasn't late and called me in advanced. Highly talented and skilled Harpist and an elegant musician. Happy to recommend her to anyone. I should also thank Sarah-Jane for being so helpful. You'll be in safe hands when dealing wit her and she makes sure she delivers. Everything was done promptly and professionally. Communication was excellent and made us feel at ease."
