"Dear Anne. We had a lovely day. The trio were excellent and very professional. Everyone commented on how lovely the music was, it was the perfect backdrop to our day and the weather was great too! Thanks again Anne (and team), Abbie and Russ."

"I approached The Grange Quartet to play at my fathers funeral playing for guests as they entered the church, they were absolutely perfect. True masters of their profession I have nothing but praise, it made such a solemn occasion truly beautiful. They also improvised when the organist missed a cue so really went above and beyond. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"We had Ebor Quartet perform during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception, they were perfect and everyone still keeps talking about how great the music was! They were great to work with beforehand and help plan what music we wanted. We managed to get a mix of Indie/pop songs that meant a lot to us so that the ceremony felt really personal. Would highly recommend! Thanks Ebor Quartet!"

"Thank you for helping make our special day so memorable. We received a fantastic service before and throughout our wedding day and everything was very well organised. Our guests very much enjoyed the quartet and in particular hearing their favourite or well known songs being played. Should I ever require such a service again then I would be back in touch without hesitation. Thank you so much"

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"Trio Capriccio performed at our church wedding in Loughborough on Saturday. The music was beautiful and created a very romantic ambience for the ceremony. Just what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble for them both before and on the day. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

"We hired Vitula Quartet for our wedding which happened just over a week ago now. All I can really say is that they were amazing. They were priced perfectly, great communicators, very friendly and extremely professional. We wanted two songs that weren't in their repertoire and they were happy to learn them for us. We were also working towards a really tight schedule which was never an issue for them. They interacted with our guests (especially the kids) which was lovely to see and they all dressed incredibly smart - this may seem insignificant but it made all the difference on the day when taking pictures and videos. Thank you for helping make our day as perfect as it was. I truly hope we are able to work with you again at some point. "

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your gorgeous playing at our reception at Syon park conservatory on 21.08.2022. It was so wonderful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I’d been able to thank you in person before you left! Thank you for everything and all the best for the future. "

"Hi Rachel, just wanted to message to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the quartet for Friday. Not sure if you heard me shouting thank you from the balcony as you left but we thought you were fantastic and have had so many great comments from our guests! Wishing you all the best. Matt"

"We want to say THANK YOU for an incredible day of live music at our wedding - it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our guests have spoken endlessly about what an incredible ambience the music provided and how wonderful the diversity of music was too."

"The guys from Stretto were brilliant on the day. We had requested a song that wasn't on their song list to be played for the ceremony entrance, they were able to find the sheet music for the song and they played it beautifully on the day. It was quite a hot day on our wedding day so we were outside in the gardens for our drinks reception, the guys from Stretto were so professional and tried to follow the crowd of guests as we moved around the gardens for photos. I would highly recommend Stretto Ensembles. Thank you again "

"Dear Sue Thank you and your group Scherzando for playing at my son's wedding. It was a wonderful day, in a wonderful setting, at Lilleshall Hall in the Duke of Sutherland suite and the music was perfect. As you know, my new daughter-in-law is Brazilian and her family were quite blown away by the whole day, so very different from how a wedding is conducted in Brazil and the beautiful music that you provided, quite stunned them, and added a very 'English' touch. We were particularly grateful for the 'extra' pieces you filled in with, when the bride was fashionably, if a little alarmingly 'late'. Also the wonderful care you took in talking over their choices and advising them on what would work best, at what point in the ceremony. If anybody is seeking to add that little something extra to their Wedding day, then I would certainly recommend that they engage you to play."

"This string quartet made our wedding extra special, with clear communication from the very start we managed to select our favourite songs for our wedding day from an extensive list. The violinist sounded exceptional for our ceremony and the string quartet received many compliments from our guests. With us being in and out of the drinks reception doing formal photos when we finally managed to go and speak to the quartet they kindly offered to play my favourite song. Me and my husband had a lovely dance and we will treasure this memory forever! Best decision we made to book these talented musicians for our wedding. Thanks again eternally grateful Mr & Mrs Brooks"
