Review Centre: String Quartets

"Dear all A quick note to say thank you so much for coming across to Ludlow for our concert yesterday . It was brilliant to hear Kubla Khan with added instrumental colour of the string quartet with percussion and I felt that we gave an exciting performance of this. The choir really appreciated the instrumental support in the other pieces too. We very much enjoyed the Dunachie quartet movements - many thanks to Anne, Jane, Helen and Hilary for putting those together. It was a pleasure to work with you all. All the best with the rest of your summer concerts and I hope you can enjoy a summer break at some point too! Sally"

"Abi and the girls were all fantastic, the music was beautiful and very professional, every body enjoyed this quartet, and they looked great, can't thank you all enough. Our walk down the aisle was very moving to the back drop of Pachelbel canon in D not a dry eye from the bridal party. We really can recommend the CG Strings to anybody they also played through the wedding breakfast which everyone commented that it was lovely and the girls kept the volume just right and not overly loud but enough to provide a beautiful background for the meal. Thank you all again and wishing the CG all the best for the future, Our fondest regards, Brian & Deborah."

"We booked this fabulous string quartet for our wedding on August 11th. They are absolutely brilliant and very professional. Claire was always contactable and my request for “Waltz of the Flowers” to walk down the aisle to, was absolutely no problem for them to do. I highly recommend."

"We were both overjoyed at the services you provided for our wedding on 16th April 2015 at The Upperhouse, Barlaston, Staffs. From our original enquiry, right through to the final played piece on the day, the total experience and contact was nothing but professional. You gave us suggestions to help to us decide what we wanted based on your experience, but were also more than happy to accommodate any thoughts or ideas we had. It was great to see the extensive repertoire of the musicians beforehand to help make our choices and to see our date on your websites up coming events. On the big day, none of our guests knew of the trio performing and were absolutely amazed at the playing on their arrival, at the ceremony and the wedding breakfast. Everyone commented on how good the music was and how it delicately enhanced the occasion, especially as we were able to have the ceremony outside in the pagoda at venues gardens. The trio also took some requests at the wedding breakfast which was a nice touch. I have passed on your details to all of my guests. We hope you enjoyed playing for our wedding as much as we enjoyed listening to the performances. "

"Hi Anne   Thank you very much, apologies for the delay in my reply, we have been in Barcelona for a few days!   We did have a wonderful day, I was sad not to have heard you all playing more (the perils of having photos taken!) however lots of people commented on how nice the selection of music was, and how lovely the playing was in general. I think it suited the venue so well, thank you for helping make the day even more perfect.   Kind regards   Rhianedd (Hurley!)  "

"Dear Anne I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your recent performance of the above at St Chad's in Shrewsbury. It was a real honour to hear you and your colleagues at the absolute top of your game. I am so glad I made the trip from my home in Buckinghamshire to come and hear you all. I think what struck me most, was how meticulously well prepared it was. Your attention to all the smallest details of dynamic and phrasing were in evidence right from the very outset. The balance between instruments was superb. As a pianist, I thought Richard's playing was wonderful, drawing out the many colours of that piano. The interaction between the instruments was truly excellent. Kind regards, Richard"

"Well, all I can say is WOW! The talented musicians that came and performed at our wedding at Selby Abbey yesterday left us all speechless with their talent and music. Every piece sounded fantastic and made my day so special. Please would you pass on our thanks to each musician for their stunning performance. I'm only sorry I didn't get to express my thanks personally but was whisked from pillar to post yesterday. Thank you again, it made my day."

"We had the amazing opportunity being able to book Capriccio String Quartet for our wedding. From initial contact to the day Lynette and the team have made our day so magical. Even learning a special song that had special meaning for us. We can’t thank them enough. If you are looking we would say just reach out and book them for your event you will not regret i"

"London Two Cellos were absolutely fantastic- book them now! They played our wedding ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, and really for us and our guests, their beautiful music was the best part. The cellos sounded amazing in the venue and added an elegance to the start of our wedding day. They were also so easy to work with. Lucy replied to all my questions, and even our vendor’s questions, lightning fast. They were accommodating and said yes right away to our full song list, which was a mix of classic and modern songs. In what can be a stressful time, they just made things nice and easy. For what it’s worth, they also dressed the part. Even though we never specified a dress code, they looked fabulous, and blended right in with our formally dressed wedding guests. While we only met them briefly, they gave us the gift of the most beautiful and memorable music for our wedding ceremony. We can’t thank or recommend them highly enough. - Sarah & Ryan"
