Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"Caroline and Luke played at our wedding on Feb 24th in Bury St Edmunds and I cannot recommend Element String enough. They were absolutely fantastic and I feel lucky to have had them playing at our wedding. So many guests commented on the quality and variety of the music they played and how it created a great atmosphere for the event. From the outset we received quick responses from Caroline and a friendly and flexible approach. She was happy to adjust length of time and number of musicians to fit our budget. We had the duo to play as guests were arriving and having welcome drinks , then through the ceremony itself and for most of the drinks reception that followed. We had thought we would be indoors on the day given it was Feb but due to uncharacteristically hot weather , the drinks were taken outside onto the terrace. Caroline and Luke being very flexible moved outside with us which was amazing. The group have a good repertoire to select from so you can have classical for the more formal moments in your day and something more jazzy afterwards to give a party feel. The duo created the perfect level of sound for the size of our ceremony room and number of guests (around 85). If we had a greater budget we would have taken the trio or even quartet without thinking as their previous reviews were so positive. I’m sad that I didn’t get to meet Caroline and Luke properly to say a big thank you. On the wedding day itself everything just seems to happen around you without you having any chance to veer off schedule. I bumped into Caroline by chance as I was being shown into the dining room and she was lovely , very warm and friendly. She and Luke arrived nice and early to set up and what is great is they are fully acoustic. Everything you hear is fully their talent and no electrics/amplifiers and wires required so it is easy to set up in almost any part of the room you require. They created such atmosphere for our ceremony - I could not have been more delighted with them. If you are looking for musicians for your wedding or other event that are extremely talented in their range of music, flexible , easy to deal with , fairly priced and transparent - then look no further than Element Strings.

"Oscar and Dominic did an outstanding job at our wedding. We had quite a few requests, which they learnt quickly and then performed beautifully. We had an outdoors ceremony, which had to be moved inside during the drinks reception due to rain, then relocated again to a different building. Oscar and Dom moved their equipment very quickly to ensure our guests were kept entertained throughout. Both very friendly, professional and punctual, I would happily recommend them to anyone and hire them again if required."

"Ariana played at our wedding reception in June 2016. They were absolutely brilliant in every respect. There was good communication prior to the event. The quartet presented a highly enjoyable selection of music which entirely met our expectations. The members of the quartet displayed virtuosity, professionalism and good humour."

"I had always wished for String Quartet at my wedding and the Element String Quartet were fantastic! Wonderful playing of pieces chosen from their extensive repertoire. Also arranged a few pieces from The Pirates of Penzance for our piratical themed wedding which were fantastic! Wonderful to have as part of our reception whilst everyone was eating! Thank you very much to the Element String Quartet - you helped make my dreams come true! ??❤️"

"Thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday, I did not get the opportunity to speak with you before you left but your performance was exactly what we were hoping for and I had a number of people comment afterwards on how much they enjoyed your playing."

"The Magenta Strings duo played at our wedding last month and they were great! Through from our ceremony to our meal, the music was just what we wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering music at their wedding. Thanks guys"

"A fantastically talented and professional duo who seem to enjoy an encyclopaedic knowledge of music from Central and Eastern Europe. Although they are only two musicians they produce the sound of a small orchestra. Igor possesses a very fine voice and his renditions of Moscow Nights, Ochi Chornie and Those Were the Days (among a huge list of songs) are second to none. Sarah is a brilliant violinist and domra player. They enhanced our evening and made it quite unforgettable. "

"The Grange Quartet was a great success at my business launch event and I would certainly book them again. The whole booking process was extremely easy and Sarah-Jane was very attentive."

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for giving us such a successful night at Chigwell Golf Club on Friday. Your singing was exemplary (as expected) but what I thought worked really well was the way in which you introduced each song and really engaged with your audience both before and during the song. Everyone I spoke to on the night, and over the weekend, said how much they’d enjoyed it I’m sure we’ll see you again at Chigwell. "
