"I’d never heard a live quartet playing before and I definitely was not disappointed. You made all the difference at our wedding and we can’t thank you enough for making the day all the more enjoyable. We feel so lucky to have had you performing and wish we could do it all again!"

"Athena were amazing. Clearly skilled musicians and play brilliantly together. They certainly went the extra mile for us last night. Everything was executed perfectly with backing tracks timed to perfection. Having live strings was a total success. I would be delighted to recommend them without reservation."

"Moon River were amazing for my baby’s birthday yesterday and it was something so different. They played jazz, theatre and pop music of my choosing from their repertoire and then lots of nursery rhymes. All ages were catered for; their communication was great and they turned up early to set up. Highly recommend."

"Thank you so much for being part of our special day. Your performance was absolutely first class and really added a touch of class to our wedding. We can't thank you enough. It was truly magical to hear some of our favourite music played so beautifully by the quartet. What a wonderful way to personalise our wedding day. Thank you for being so accommodating and efficient in the lead-up to the day as well - any bride-to-be will tell you what a blessing that is!"

"Nouveau String Quartet made our special day even more special. From booking until the day it was a pleasure to speak to and plan alongside Gareth. The music was absolutely beautiful and each guest commented on how it really made our day even more perfect! Thank you all for such a perfect ceremony and entertainment during the drinks reception.

"We had the South Manchester String Quartet to play for my entrance and during the signing. They added real emotion to the day before I had even walked down the aisle. Guests were crying before I came in – I think without them the atmosphere could have been a bit flat and people would certainly have been bored. My favourite part of the wedding has to be walking down the aisle – I don’t think I will ever get butterflies like that again! And – Glen cried! Now that’s a first."

"I would definitely not hesitate to recommend the guys and girls from South Manchester String Quartet. Their talent, professionalism and smiles really did make our wedding day so special and a little bit different, they sounded amazing in church and at our reception. Despite the rain they played on delighting our guests who couldn't help have a little rain dance! I would defiantly recommend them."

"I just wanted to say a big thank to you all for playing at our wedding yesterday. My only regret on what was a fantastic day was that I didn't get to hear more of your beautiful music. All of our guests said how much they enjoyed your playing & that it was a bonus that you were all so good looking too! "

"We hired the string duo for our wedding on the 12/03/17, it was a surprise for the wedding guests so a low profile was key. I can't recommend Helen and the team enough, so professional, constant contact throughout the booking process I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for making my dream a reality."

"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."
