"We want to say how wonderful your email below is, even before we get to the recording. We put a lot of original thinking into the ceremony and had a clear idea of what we wanted to do, including input in three different languages, all of which we managed to carry off thanks to Sonore’s willingness to take on an original piece (which was beautifully played) and to lead a Maori love song. For this reason we are so happy to hear you say that the ceremony will live long in the memory as this means an awful lot to us! We had also worried later in the day that the venue had done you a disservice by leading people into the Engine house and away from your performance, and while that was taking place Elly and I were all around the venue taking photographs. We heard you playing Winter Flowers and worried that there was no-one around at this point to hear it. To know that in fact you will have been preparing this recording therefore gives us a huge boost, not to mention that the recording is wonderful. Thank you so much I and we have sent this on to Lucy, who is rightly so happy with this. Your email and the recording lifted our spirits on this point so much - we were left with no words! And so it just remains to thank you again for your engagement and professionalism at the wedding. We have been very lucky to find you. We wish you all the very best and hope you will be involved in similar events for others in the future. We had never expected that we would benefit from working with a group as dedicated as yours, and for that, we were very lucky."

"Ebor Quartet played at our wedding last weekend at The Grand Hotel in York. They played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and were absolutely stunning from start to finish. So many of our guests commented on their performance & our little 2 year old nephew couldn't get enough of them - applauding each time they finished a song! They really added that magical sparkle one wants at a wedding. Ebor were recommended by our venue and I can see why. From the moment we booked them, Conor was helpful and communicative via email, and easily adapted to any requests we had. We decided fairly late on in the planning process to extend cocktail hour out a little longer to ensure myself and my new husband would be able to enjoy time with our guests and Conor quickly assured me they'd be able to stay for the extended time & enabled us to make an extra payment for the added time. They honoured all requests we had when it came to song choices (eg: My Girl for the aisle walk, and we wanted Vivaldi's Spring to open cocktail hour but were otherwise flexible on the order of our chosen songs) They also provided a bit of guidance where relevant - helpful when one doesn't book these sorts of things on a regular basis! Overall - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ebor - if you're thinking about booking them, go for it ✨️ Our guests are still talking about them! 💙"

"Grace and I first discovered Capriccio Quartet at the Best Western Regency Bridal show. Having not considered music, let alone a string quartet before we went, we were amazed by the musicians, especially when they asked us to choose a song from their repertoire, which turned out to be the exit song at our wedding. Having made the decision to book the group, Lynette and the team were so good during the lead up to our wedding, they even rehearsed music not on their repertoire for our aisle song which made for perfect harmony on the day. On the day of our wedding we don’t know what we would have done at the beginning of the ceremony without Capriccio in the background because they filled the room with beautiful music. The weather was so glorious that during the reception the quartet performed outside and our guests commented on how wonderful the music was. Our wedding without Capriccio wouldn’t have been the same, they made our day so special and one that we will treasure. We are truly thankful for everything and appreciate listening to such talent. "

"Dahlia Music performed at our wedding in May 2025. They performed for our church ceremony and at our reception and made the day so perfect. From our first contact the process was so smooth and Dahlia were able to play our requested songs for the ceremony and then played a selection of classics and pop hits for the reception. Thank you for making our day so special."

"Good communications during the planning of the wedding music, we had to make a couple of last minute changes, nothing drastic, but these were accommodated without any issues. Although, as the bride, I missed out on the largest percentage of the music at the start, what I did hear was very professionally performed. We were both very pleased with the service received."

"We had the pleasure of hosting this talented duo at our showroom event, and they truly exceeded all expectations. Their performance was not only musically exceptional but also perfectly attuned to the ambiance we aimed to create. From the moment they began, they set a welcoming and vibrant tone that resonated with all our guests. Excellent!"

"We booked the Ebor Quartet for our wedding this week, and wow - are we glad we did! We liaised with Conor in the run up to the big day and he couldn't have been more helpful. He was brilliant at making suggestions for our chosen songs and put us both at ease from the very first phone call. We booked the trio and all three of the musicians were absolutely exceptional. Thank you so much, we are so grateful and happy we chose Ebor."
