"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."

"What a wonderful afternoon Surrey Strings provided for our annual classical concert! Our audience gave them a standing ovation at the end. Beaut.iful pieces exquisitely performed. We could not have wished for better. Thank you very much! Also the communication and organisation with the agency and performers was very smooth and fast. 10 out of 10."

"We booked The Good Rebels for our wedding on the 16th July. This was by far the best decision we made. The band were always in contact with us, allowing us to make suggestions of songs (even performing the brides favorite Peter Andre song). We also got a chance to see the band perform before hand which was great. The band created such a fun atmosphere at our wedding and the song choice's got all our wedding party up on their feet! All our wedding guests commented at how good the band were and we could not recommend them enough!! We wish we could relive the day to have our party again with them!"

"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for such an amazing day. Every single person there thought you were fantastic. I just wish I could have sat down in front of you and just listened! The songs during our service were absolutely beautiful and your choice of music for outside was perfect. All in all a day we will always remember and that is down to you. Thank you again Laura. With much love and many thanks"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"We hired the trio for our college ball in Oxford. They gave a fantastic performance, and brought a great atmosphere to the evening. They were also lovely to talk to, and very receptive to what you want. Would definitely recommend!"
