Review Centre: String Quartets

"Royal String Ensemble played at our wedding ceremony at Gaynes Park, in Epping Forest on the 3rd of January 2017. The group were absolutely fantastic, many of my guests came up to me in the reception to comment and how good they were. The band were highly professional and very attentive to my ideas, they were happy to mix their conventional classical music pieces with some modern pop songs I had selected. The band met with me prior to my wedding day for an initial consultation to discuss what I'd like on the day, the format, theme of the wedding etc., they then provided me with some ideas of music that they had played at other weddings and were always extremely responsive to my emails. In particular the band really stood out and went the extra mile by kindly agreeing accompany my brother and sister (both amateur guitar and drum players) in playing a song at our wedding. This involved them re-writing the sheet music in the correct key, meeting with my brother and sister one evening to rehearse the song, and then arriving at the ceremony earlier than usual to rehearse with my brother/sister before the start of the ceremony. They are a fantastic group and I am sure they will have a hugely successful future ahead of them, they certainly made my wedding ceremony very special and unique, as one of my guests said when describing their music "they are certainly one to remember.""

"Hi Anne, Thank you so much. It was an incredible day made all the more perfect having you play for us. You were amazing. My only regret is that I didn't get to hear more of you. Unfortunately, I was under room arrest, so I didn't get to meet you on the day. I know James said he got to speak with you. If you have a Facebook page, so we can leave you a review, please let us know. Thank you so much once again, Greg (and James). "

"Hi Anne, my apologies for not getting in touch sooner but just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding!! It sounded incredible and really suited the surrounds, my only regret is as myself and Emma were outside for a large period of the drinks reception, we didn't get to hear more but we had some lovely comments from guests. I hope that the groomsmen and venue looked after you on the day and thank you once again for being part of our day."

I'm so sorry for the ridiculously slow response to your lovely review! I didn't receive any notificiation and have just stumbled across it. You must think me very ungrateful. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of writing this, we really appreciate it. I hope you're well. Very best wishes Alison x

"The Chapel Hill Duo is a pairing of two inspirational musicians, who will always give an outstanding performance. We are always delighted to host Sarah and Jaya at St Wulfram's, Grantham, and every time they have played at our events the standard has been impeccably high. They come very highly recommended!"

"Dear Natalya, Thank you so much for this lovely memento, but especially for the amazing job that you did in playing for my mum's 80th birthday party. Honestly, I could not be happier, not just with the wonderful music, which we all enjoyed so much, but with your kind and thoughtful approach to supporting us through the day. You put so much effort into preparing the music, which my mum loved, and into helping me decide on the programme, and you were so kind and lovely on the day. Your fellow musicians was amazing as well. If you ever need a recommendation, please don't hesitate to contact me - I'm so very happy that I booked you and your group. We feel very lucky and blessed that we found you.Warm wishes, Ruth"

"Hi Anne, I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of myself and Amy. We loved the music you played and I had several compliments from our guests about the quartet. Personally, I don’t think you can beat live music so I was thrilled to see Amy walk down the aisle with your music accompanying her. I truly wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much again! Love Gareth and Amy x "
