"Thames Valley String Quartet performed at our wedding on Saturday 4th May 2019 in Shrewsbury and we couldn’t be happier! They played as our guests arrived, the ceremony and reception drinks. From the initial enquiry we were extremely happy with the personal service we received from Kathryn, responses were helpful and quick - even when we were delayed ourselves. We took a while to decide on our song choices, but Kathryn and the rest of the group were very accommodating and played a huge range of styles for us, from a suggestion from the grooms grandad to learning a song especially for the groom (Final Fantasy sound track) which he absolutely loved for before the ceremony. On to classical and modern pop for the rest. Even though the sun was shining the air was cold being an outdoor ceremony but they all played through it like troopers to enable us to have our dream ceremony. Once again, a huge thank you to all of you in Thames Valley String Quartet for making the journey to be a part of our wedding day, both the two of us and our guests LOVED having you there and listening to you play. We highly recommend booking with Thames Valley String Quartet for any event with their diverse repertoire, skills and great personal service. Thank you again! "

"Amy was a pleasure to deal with, both over email before our wedding and on the day itself. We gave her a list of our favourite songs and she let us know which ones she could do. Amy mixed these songs in with a selection of other songs and checked the overall list with us beforehand. Everyone at the wedding thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We would definitely recommend Amy to anyone doing a wedding - she is a fantastic singer and a lovely person. Thank you Amy!"

"Jan, Janet and their sons came to entertain us at Norman's 60th Birthday last Saturday and were absolutely marvellous. Everybody enjoyed the music which was a mixture of jazz and Latin. It was a fabulous edition to a great party, and everyone commented on what great live music it was. They are very professional, arrived on time and played requests as well. We would highly recommend their services to make an event really special."

"May I just start by saying thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our day truly magical. I could hear you playing whilst I was waiting to enter the room all the songs I had requested, my walk in music was everything I had hoped for and the wonderful world you played whilst I signed the register still gives me goosebumps when I think about it. The guests loved you playing up beat numbers like queen during our afternoon tea (I think you could tell by all the singing going on) and then to carry on with an encore at the end was just brilliant ! I will make sure to recommend you to anybody I know getting married or having a special occasion. We hope to cross paths with you all again one day. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

"Dear Ramki, It was an amazing night of nostalgia and live music ... Every one thoroughly enjoyed your voice and song selection. Big thanks to Gayatri also. Even though we met for the first time, it felt like we know each other for a very long time.... You engaged with the audience so nicely and got them onto the dance floor also. Our guest singers from the audiences also felt encouraged and were very happy. Thanks for making our evening so enjoyable and hope to meet again soon !"

Thank you Dev, we also truly enjoyed the warmth and enthusiasm of the group. Likewise, we we also definitely felt it like home and not a first time audience.

"Victoria is our resident star! She is a brilliant performer who entertains our guests each week with her stunning vocals, creating a sensational atmosphere and is a delight to work with. She always brings magic, elegance, and poise to her performances, and we loved having her perform for all our resident guests this last New Year to welcome in 2023 in style."

"The sound was raw, unplugged and had a strong emotional attachment to it. Allan (singer) had a twist to Christmas carols and harmonised well with his friend on the keys. Everybody took a moment to stop and soak in the atmosphere, very rare to find a large office building as such as a Apex Plaza. Well done both. "

"Chris Flegg and his group, Mellowtone Jazz, played at both my 65th and 75th birthday parties to my and everybody else's total enjoyment. I would thoroughly recommend them. If you want people on the floor dancing, this is the group!! Their library is very wide, and they seem to be able to accommodate most requests."
