"I can't thank the whole band enough got the amazing music and atmosphere they created during our wedding party in Edinburgh. Their mix of old and modern songs worked in perfectly with my vintage theme and was definitely one of the highlights of my night watching them perform. The BV's are a band I would love to see play again and I will be looking out for some of their regular gigs in Edinburgh to head along to. Thanks so much for helping to make my wedding party something special!"

"House of Chords played at our wedding a few days ago and were amazing. We had lots of compliments from our guests and we had the best time. The band were super flexible and Mike managed all our requests in a quick and timely fashion, putting us at ease on the run up to the big day. Thank you for helping make our day fricking awesome!"

"Callum performed at our pub on the 27th of May 2019. We really enjoyed the music and got a lot of great feedback from our guests. Additionally, Callum is a nice person and a good communicator. If we have any questions regarding his performance at our place, he always replied very quickly, always was in touch, what was really appreciated. Looking forward to another performance soon! "

"These ladies proved perfect for our 1940's themed cruises, entertaining our passengers with a great range of wartime and big band standards, with frequent changes of costumes and great audience interaction. A delightful trio of ladies who were more than happy to change set lists and performance times throughout the day according to the needs of the ship. Their day with us ended in passengers dancing and joining in a full throated sing- a - long to much acclaim. One of the most entertaining and versatile groups I have used in 40 years of running cruises, we have received strong positive feedback from our passengers, and will be booking Angie and her trio again in 2025 for another 40s themed cruises. I recommend this group for any occasion, cruise or function. You will not be disappointed!. Tim Wardley. Waverley Excursions Thames Liaison Officer."

"Unquestionably, one of the best live bands I have seen. The Acoustic Experiment played at a charity event last night and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The enthusiasm, ambience and charisma from Al and Oli flowed throughout the evening, performing a range of cover songs from the 60s to present. I would highly recommend The Acoustic experiment for future weddings and events. "

"We were absolutely delighted with Astri Strings (Victoria & Jude), who played at our wedding. From the very start, communication with them was so easy and stress-free — they were professional, warm, and accommodating to every request. Their repertoire is incredible, covering everything from classical and jazz through to modern-day hits. One particularly special touch was when they learnt and performed the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, even though it wasn’t on their list. That meant the world to me, and it was played so beautifully. They performed seamlessly as our guests arrived, throughout the ceremony, and into the drinks reception, creating a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. So many of our family and friends commented on how stunning the music was, and we couldn’t agree more! We would 100% recommend Astri Strings to anyone planning a wedding or any other celebration. They were an absolute joy to work with and such a memorable part of our special day. Ayesha & Fred x August 2025 Worton Hall, Witney "

"Dear Rachel, I am sorry that I did not get to meet, greet , say thank you and goodbye to the quartet. The beginning of the day did not quite go as planned which led to a follow on of change in plans. This left us somewhat disconcerted and by the time we got to the library I think the allocated time for yourselves had elapsed. The music upstairs was beautiful and the guests I spoke to after told me that the music that you kindly played downstairs was wonderful. Leah really loved her entrance music which meant a lot to her. Thank you so much for the beautiful music. Kind regards Anwaar and Leah"

"Just a massive thank you for the beautiful music provided by the string-quartet last Saturday. I am sorry I didn’t get chance to thank you personally but you made a massive contribution to the event’s success. Everyone commented after how lovely the music was and I am sure the heat was unbearable on that stage at times. I wish you success with all your summer events and thank you again for making it such a very memorable occasion for us all. Jessica’s mum, Jane x"

"Edina and Tony are not just extremely talented musicians, they are lovely people too. We're proud that De Fuego could be such a big part of our wedding day and will never forget it. We booked them to play the music for our ceremony, reception and evening cocktail hour and they entertained us and our guests astutely. Learning a new song for the bride's entrance music was not a problem and performed beautifully. We highly recommend and cannot wait to see them again, thank you so much!"

"Absolutely first class entertainment!! Not only is the talent across the group is incredible, they are all such lovely, friendly yet professional to deal with. They go out of their way to make your event special and unique and are spoken about by our guests for weeks after. I will continue to reccomend and use these guys for every event!! My only regret is I wish I knew about them sooner!!"

" Just wanted to email to say a huge thank u for the amazing entertainment you provided at my 40th party. You were so fantastic and entertained everyone so well. You professionally arrived, set up and read the crowd during the evening brilliantly. I have received so many lovely comments about how amazing you were and how my friends haven’t danced so much in years!! A few friends were very achy the next day from exerting themselves on the dance floor!! The other thing I wanted to say a huge thank you for, was being so kind to my boys, especially Freddie. You made his year by letting him put his guitar near yours on a stand and for letting him join in. He hasn’t stopped grinning since the party. It was a very special moment for me and my friends to watch him playing with you. Thank you so much for allowing him to join in. It made the evening so memorable. The playlist you chose and played worked so well and allowed myself and my guests to have one of the best evenings I can remember. Thank you again for helping to make the evening so special and memorable. With thanks and kind regards Leah, Freddie and Hamish "

"From our very first conversation, Simon made everything feel easy and personal. We knew straight away that he genuinely cared about creating the right atmosphere for our wedding, not just turning up and singing a set. Simon performed during our ceremony and drinks reception, and the moment he started singing as I walked down the aisle was something I will never forget. His voice filled the room beautifully and created such an emotional, intimate atmosphere — it truly set the tone for the entire day. So many of our guests commented on how special the music felt and asked how we found him. What we loved most was how calm and professional Simon was throughout the whole process. He worked seamlessly with our venue and other suppliers, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was taken care of. Choosing Simon was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He added something truly memorable to our day, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for live music that feels personal, elegant, and heartfelt."
