Review Centre: String Quartets

"We were absolutely delighted with Astri Strings (Victoria & Jude), who played at our wedding. From the very start, communication with them was so easy and stress-free — they were professional, warm, and accommodating to every request. Their repertoire is incredible, covering everything from classical and jazz through to modern-day hits. One particularly special touch was when they learnt and performed the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, even though it wasn’t on their list. That meant the world to me, and it was played so beautifully. They performed seamlessly as our guests arrived, throughout the ceremony, and into the drinks reception, creating a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. So many of our family and friends commented on how stunning the music was, and we couldn’t agree more! We would 100% recommend Astri Strings to anyone planning a wedding or any other celebration. They were an absolute joy to work with and such a memorable part of our special day. Ayesha & Fred x August 2025 Worton Hall, Witney "

"The Chapel Hill Duo is a pairing of two inspirational musicians, who will always give an outstanding performance. We are always delighted to host Sarah and Jaya at St Wulfram's, Grantham, and every time they have played at our events the standard has been impeccably high. They come very highly recommended!"

"I would like to thank Thames Valley String Quartet for their beautiful performance at our wedding. From start to finish, they oozed class and were the perfect accompaniment as our guests arrived for drinks and nibbles. Guests of young and old commented on their wonderful repertoire and as a personal surprise, they even arranged a version of our first dance song. As performers, Thames Valley String Quartet are highly skilled, professional and passionate. They take great pride in their work and deliver on the promises they make prior to the performance. Once again, we'd like to thank you for making our day even more magical! To anyone else considering a Thames Valley String Quartet at their event, we recommend them to you unreservedly."

"In the world today you are never quite sure what you’ll get: Rest assured that with Kara Strings, you’ll have made the right decision! Such heavenly music with musicians that are equally and truly out of this world. You will not be disappointed and like us, wished it could have never ended. The musicians themselves(?) … as lovely and wonderful as the music! You feel like you’ve been friends with them forever and they will be! We can’t wait to see them again!"

"These two young musicians are absolutely fantastic in every respect. They played at our daughter's wedding for hour after hour and must have been exhausted by the end of the evening! Nothing was too much trouble, they arranged a beautiful version of the happy couple's favourite song and everything they played sounded so good. A lovely couple and fantastic musicians too. Brilliant."

"This is to appreciate you and your team members for a lovely performance at our wedding vow renewal and 25th wedding anniversary which took place on the 11th of August. From the start when we first made contact, you made it easy to communicate with and the information you asked for certainly helped to make your part in the day seamless and smooth. You were punctual and professional. We hardly noticed you slip in and out of the room during your break times and at the end of the function. Our guests enjoyed your performance and were full of praise and positive comments about how much they loved the pieces you played. You certainly added some class and sophistication to our function. We will certainly recommend you to our friends and family members. Kindly extend our greetings to the other members of your team."

"Dahlia were brilliant at our garden party and it was thrilling to hear so many favourite tunes played live. A real star turn. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who had one ear on the conversation I was in and another ear on the music, floating away on it. I look forward to the next event in order to book again!"

"Communication with Ebor and Conor in particular has been fantastic in the build up to the wedding. What a fantastic team of talented musicians!! Both me and Rob want to say a BIG thank you to the team for being there on Saturday. It was absolutely beautiful and definitely made the atmosphere in the church (lots of tears were had!!) lots of our guests said how beautiful it was. We even had compliments from local villagers too who heard the music at the village hall which was lovely!! Thank you for being so accommodating and flexible with the set lists and we hope to see you at future gigs/events… I’ve asked for tickets for my birthday later in the year!! Thank you again!!"

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the music you provided for our ceremony yesterday it was absolutely perfect. I loved the Aerosmith and Blink 182 pieces and hearing how good the Pachelbel piece sounded before I walked down the aisle gave me an overwhelming feeling of excitement and confidence as it was just how I had hoped it would be. Thank you so so much and I will never forget the wonderful music you provided for our very special day."

"Modern Strings played at the marriage ceremony of our wedding. They had excellent and lovely suggestions for the music to be played, and were more than happy to play music of our choice. Total professionals who didn't give us a moment of worry, these team know their stuff. Ask them for suggestions on how your music choices can fit with timing on the day! Would definitely use again.
