"This quartet played at my wedding in August, after originally being booked for August 2020! They accomodated to 3 different wedding dates for us in the end, due to 2 postponements! Yhe communication throughout an insanely stressful 2 years was amazing, Kim even waivered the admin fee of changing the date twice due to money issues from loss of earnings during Covid. I had a particular piece of music I wanted to walk down the aisle to from Game Of Thrones, but it had never been arranged for a string quartet. This was not an issue for the amazing team, who spent months listening to the original and making me my own bespoke piece of music by recreating it. They played before my ceremony whilst guests were arriving, during the drinks reception whilst my husband and I went away for private photos and then even stayed a little longer. My guests absolutely adored them, they played loads of music from films and TV shows and even the children were recognising certain songs! They also played a bit of Def Leppard and took requests from very keen guests. They made the atmosphere and were so lovely to be around. 6 months later, I will still see people that attended and they'll say "oh my gosh, your string quartet was amazing!" Well worth the money and the wait. Added something spectacular to our beautiful day that we will never forget. Thank you "

"The Nouveau Duo were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and provided the perfect musical accompaniment to our daughter's wedding. From the outset, Gareth was both professional and personable in all correspondence regarding the musical arrangements. And while the Nouveau Duo's impressively extensive repertoire of hymns, film music, rock, pop and classical pieces far exceeded what anyone could reasonably require for a wedding service and drinks reception, Gareth even went so far as to expertly craft an original arrangement of a particular favourite song at the couple's request. The musical talents of both Gareth and Nataliia were abundantly clear, their effortlessly exquisite playing fully displaying their mastery of their respective instruments and blending beautifully to charm and entertain our wedding guests of all ages. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone planning a wedding or event and have every confidence that you will be delighted to have the Nouveau Duo's music enhance your special day - we certainly were!

"Stephen and Milka played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at the weekend and they were amazing. Many of our guests told us how emotional they felt as soon as they began playing. We requested a song for the bride entrance music which they practiced and performed beautifully. It was exactly what we hoped for! It was easy organising everything, Steve got back to us really quickly. Couldn’t recommend them enough! "

"I’m only just getting around to saying our thank yous and I wanted to say a big one to you and the rest of the EM strings squad on the day! The music was wonderful - I’m only seeing snippets of it now on our guests’ videos from the ceremony and it sounds absolutely beautiful! Thank you for coping in the 34degree heat and putting on a beautiful show for our guests to enjoy. I hope you have a wonderful week and busy wedding season ahead and hopefully we get to meet at a wedding in the future again! "

"Thank you to everyone from the South West String Quartet for the amazing job you did at our wedding. The music was so beautiful and it elevated the whole day. We loved your performance during the ceremony and how perfect your timing was with all the elements we had incorporated. It was so touching it was impossible to hold back tears! The custom songs you created for us were also so special and will become a truly treasured memory. "

"Andrew was outstanding at our wedding. Everyone loved him and his amazing voice. He made the ceremony truly unique. I can't say enough about his exceptional performance and guests have written several letters already complimenting him on his performance! You will not regret booking Andrew! "

"What a wonderful afternoon Surrey Strings provided for our annual classical concert! Our audience gave them a standing ovation at the end. Beautiful pieces exquisitely performed. We could not have wished for better. Thank you very much! Also the communication and organisation with the agency and performers was very smooth and fast. 10 out of 10."

"Golden Gospel sang at the Celebration of my husband’s life, attended by over 300 people. It was an emotional occasion, but one which I intended to be uplifting, and reflective of his huge vitality and vibrant spirit. A gospel choir had been Nick’s request, some months previously, and it was really important to me that I delivered on that. In fact, Golden Gospel delivered - they were fabulous. The afternoon was full of joy, laughter and tapping feet. Jules was great to work with when planning the music, responding to my (many) questions and sending me lots of clips of the choir in action; and the performance on the day was magical. Nick would have loved it. Thank you so much for making a difficult day so very wonderful."

"We were thrilled with the music! (On the 15th of May 2015 at Oxenfoord Castle). We thought you guys did a fantastic job during the ceremony. We have had a chance to look back at some of the videos and the pieces that we asked you to learn sounded great (2 new arrangements of Irish folk pieces). Unfortunately we missed most of the music during the drinks reception due having photos taken, but we spoke to lots of guests who all said the music was brilliant.  And I believe a few of the Canadian’s were trying to pressure you into staying longer – sorry about that!  Overall we had a great day, and we think our guests did too, and you and your players were a big part of that, so we’d like to thank you for your great effort."

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and Moon River Trio for the beautiful job you did. We both had the most magical day and the music topped it off to being such a classy do! I was really holding back the tears walking down the aisle. Thank you so much once again"
