"Zoe played at our wedding reception on Saturday 2nd June. We left the choice of music to Zoe and she played a mixture of classical and modern pieces. She played the harp beautifully and created a wonderful atmosphere which our guests were delighted with. Zoe was very approachable and friendly and we really enjoyed having her there. She always communicated promptly and was a pleasure to meet. We could not recommend her highly enough. She was amazing!"

"Alan was excellent, from my initial contact with him through to his performance on the day! He was reliable, responsive and played really well. We were particularly impressed that Alan learnt a new song for our wedding ceremony, it made our day!! So many people commented on how good he was, even when all the kids were running around him in the courtyard he kept his composure! Thanks again, Alan."

"We hired Alan to play at our wedding reception. Throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding, he was extremely responsive and engaging, as well as accommodating, as he even moved things around to be able to perform on our day. He provided us with a long list of songs in different genres that he could play to help us choose the songs we wanted. On the day, we had a lot of positive feedback from our guests regarding how well he performed. His performance went a long way to help create an amazing atmosphere during the reception as well as the wedding breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan to anyone that wishes to engage in his services. Thank you Alan for performing on our special day! "

"Tamilla played at our wedding and was fantastic. We mostly chose songs from her repertoire but we did also have a few requests for her to play modern songs that weren't listed including a very obscure song from the Final Fantasy XX game. Somehow she managed to find a backing track and played the song beautifully during our register signing. The only reason we haven't given 10 stars is because we had a couple of little hiccoughs earlier in the year regarding a mix up with contracts/deposits and slow communication the month before the wedding (although this was because of health issues with Tamilla's family so was just bad luck on our part timing-wise). Otherwise, we would certainly recommend Tamilla as she's an amazing violinist and comes at a fair price."

Hi Justine, thank you for recognizing the quality of my performance on your wedding day, I did try very hard to find and rehearse the music you requested. As you have mentioned, two members of my immediate family had joint replacement operations within a week of each other, and I was a bit slow in replying, for which I apologized, but I think I have more than made up for any hiccups in communication by staying longer than the agreed contract and playing for your drink reception voluntarily and without being asked. I wish you all the best in the future. Tamilla

"Thank you so much for the wonderful performance at my daughter’s wedding. The music was wonderful and everyone enjoyed it so much. You contributed to the lovely atmosphere and gave a sense of relaxation to the bride’s mother!!!"

"Thank you immensely for the absolutely superb performance at Ratho Parish Church. The success of a wedding relies so much on background music and Scotland Strings certainly excelled in that regard. Personally, Gill and I missed out somewhat as our arrival, by dint of normal bride and father custom and practice, occurred in the late stages of your performance. However, our guests spoke very highly indeed of your presence and delivery and raved of how the quality enhanced a momentous occasion. Morag, once again, many thanks for helping to make Gill and Jamie’s wedding such a huge success. Best wishes for the continuing success of Scotland Strings and the enjoyment that goes with it."

"Celestial Cello performed beautifully at an event to memorialise my mother. From our first point of contact to the last note she played I found the whole experience and performance flawless. Words can hardly convey the emotion she created at the event."

"I hired Zoe for a private birthday and she was amazing! She performed a range of songs beautifully, captivating everyone who was fortunate enough to hear her play. I would have no second thoughts about hiring Zöe again for another event! Thank you again!"

"Ray performed during the proposal and it was perfect, from her arrival (discrete and timely) to her performance. The flexibility and breadth of her selection of music made the playlist equally perfect. I would have liked the original songs playing in the background rather than instrumentals and perhaps used better speakers but these are minor points in what was a memorable evening."
