"I just wanted to say thank you for your performance on Sunday at our Golden Wedding Lunch. We have had so many guests comment on how fantastic you were, even people who we didn't think would like opera were in awe of you. Thank you so much and hope we meet again."

"I hired Modern Strings as a surprise for our wedding day and they did not disappoint. From initial consultation, through to the song choices, Sophie was hugely helpful and accommodating. We cannot thank them enough for making our day special – we had so many compliments about them from our wedding guests! We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for an emotional, professional and beautiful addition to their day. George and Matthew x"

"I booked Velvet Strings for our corporate relaunch of a High Street Casino. We found them very friendly, professional and extremely talented! The modern background music was exactly what we asked for and the girls even took requests. Highly recommended! "

"Hi Rachel, just a quick note to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to your colleagues for the event last night. It was a resounding success and the quartet were consummately professional and our guests, parents and staff were delighted. I hope that we can find another occasion to engage Leos Strings in the near future. "

"Reliable and outstanding musicians. We booked the string quartet to play at our wedding in the South of France during the summer of 2019 and are so glad that we did. They were reliable and helpful in the lead up to our wedding. My wife and I were not sure on which songs to have and they helped us to choose the right ones for us and were very understanding. On the day of our wedding they turned up early in plenty of time. We did not have to worry about them and all of our guests remarked on how well they played and how professional they were. We cannot speak highly enough of them. One of the best decisions we made was booking them to play at our wedding! Would highly recommend them."

"Thank you SO much for your playing and support tonight. It was a tough programme for the choir but there is no doubt that your playing made life easier for them. As a quartet, the sound you make blends beautifully and, if it's at all possible, I'd love to work with you all again."

"How fortunate we were to have Caroline and the delightful ladies from Ariana String Quartet play at our wedding, each one of them possessing impressive musical prowess and with distinguished classical careers in highly reputed orchestras. The planning and coordination of pieces beforehand and on the day was seamless. So during the actual wedding, each previously chosen song was played as an accompaniment to significant moments: such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, the bride and groom walking into the wedding breakfast room. Everything was timed perfectly. Ariana had also learnt a few of the pieces especially for our wedding. In fact their renditions of the contemporary music we had asked for were not only flawless, but fantastic musical pieces in their own right, as diverse as Arctic Monkeys ‘Mardy Bum’, ‘Concerning Hobbits’ from the Lord of the Rings and Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’. Furthermore, they were easy to recognise and yet the original was transformed into a beautiful string version. Indeed everything they performed for us was unquestionably beautiful, dare-I-say-it, even better than the string renditions on Bridgerton! Classical musical connoisseurs present were mesmerised and intoxicated by every note. As I looked around the room, I witnessed every generation at the wedding enjoying Ariana’s performance. I heard so many positive comments from guests about them too. They delivered a simply captivating soundtrack to a joyous day for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Everything went perfectly on the 25th and we were really happy and impressed with the music both at the Midland and the Gallery. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to come over and say thank you in person but Simon and I were both delighted with everything."
