"Hi Anne, I just wanted to say - again - how much I enjoyed singing with you last night. We all felt completely at ease and supported and FREE throughout, which is such a privileged position to be in, let alone a Messiah with fiendish string writing and only one to a part! It was a joy. Thank you. Hope to see you soon. Have a wonderful Christmas, and wishing you lots of lovely music in the new year. "

"What do I say...... Amazing, wonderful, moving, excellent....both of you were all of those and more! As I was the only person in the room who knew, it was a fabulous surprise for all of our guests and my husband! Jaw dropping in fact, I was moved to tears, so was my mum! You helped to make a magical day even more magical and I personally can’t thank you both enough! "

"The string quartet sounded absolutely beautiful and made the ceremony extremely lovely! We and all the guests we talked to have nothing but positive things to say about you and the quartet, it sounded amazing and the songs choice was excellent! Many people commented on the tracks they recognized and enjoyed. We also truly appreciate the extra effort you've put to work with Gabe and Phil, it made the ceremony so personal and it couldn't have been done without your support, so we thank you very much. Best of luck to you and your colleagues! "

"Dear Anne and Orchestra, I just wanted to say an enormous thanks for of your hard work, skill and artistry in bringing the Dvorak to life on Saturday. It felt like orchestra, choir and soloists really performed as one. I do realise the amount of effort and pressure you are under on a concert day, often coming together for the first time to play the piece in the afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. I look forward to working with you again in the Autumn. With my best wishes, Tony Director of Music"

"We booked 440 Quartet for our wedding to play at both the church ceremony and garden party reception in July 2017 and I can honestly say they were one of our favourite parts of the day. They were professional throughout, arrived in plenty of time and played the most stunning music! The playlist we provided in advance was interpreted beautifully and a number of guests commented on the day and since on how amazing they were. Could not recommend 440 Quartet highly enough, thank you so much for making our wedding that bit more special!!"

"I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on Thursday to say thank you for the wonderful music (on 8th October 2015 at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh) , both Martin and I were caught up in the whirlwind of emotions! Thank you so much, it really made the atmosphere so special and I know our guests enjoyed hearing you play. In particular your version of ‘One Day Like This’ was amazing."

"Simply brilliant. No fuss, turned up early to set up on time. Sounded absolutely fantastic. Despite the nerves I heard all our chosen tracks being played. Can’t recommend this string quartet enough. They made an already special day extra special. Thanks so much."

"I am writing to thank you greatly for the wonderful performance that you put on for everyone. You were, as ever, absolutely fabulous and I felt privileged to sing alongside you at the end of your performance.  Many thanks once again and all the best until we meet again."

"Sorry for the delay from our side, but we wanted to pass on our thanks to you all for such a great performance at our wedding on Saturday. So many people have said how good you all were and Kate and I both wish we could have heard more of your repertoire had we not been stolen away for photos! "

"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."

"The 440 String Quartet suited my needs exactly and delivered far beyond expectations! They are incredibly professional and I was astounded by how fast they were able to pick up new music. I needed a quartet for a concert where the time frame was limited and this group met it with ease. Extremely well priced and enthusiastic players! Will definitely be using their services again! Thanks again!"
