Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"We had the honour of having the duo perform at our wedding recently. From the outset, our time working with them was a pleasure. They customised their set in line with what we desired for a truly bespoke experience. They were also keen to collaborate with one of our friends with singing which they didn’t have to do but embraced the process fully. The sound of Steve’s piano creates a warm blanket of sound in the room, complemented by the sweet and soothing notes from the violin. They are both truly gifted and professional in their musical domains and we were lucky to have them blow us away on our wedding day. There was excellent feedback from our guests too where they were moved by the duo’s music. Furthermore, they were kind and affable and were integral to our day. We thank you. "

"I was wondering whether you and your colleagues might have availability to play at my wedding on 24 April 2026. Your team played at a friend’s wedding, and I was really impressed — I absolutely loved the atmosphere you created, so I was hoping you might be able to do the same for us."

"Morag and her team of musicians were exceptional. Communication in the build up to the event and on the evening prior was professional and friendly. The repertoire they were able to play was extensive and they were even willing to learn a new piece of music for the evening which was hugely appreciated. Just brilliant, thank you, Caroline "

"We booked the Capriccio Quartet for our recent wedding and they were a superb addition. Lynette was extremely helpful in sorting our playlist and they were happy to set up under a gazebo in little more than a field, however the effect and ambiance they created was beautiful and compliments flooded in from so many guests. They played a great mix of modern and classical and were so easy to work with and organise (which is essential with everything else happening on a wedding day) that I have no hesitation is giving them 5 stars and thoroughly recommending them."

"Greetings Anne, I enjoyed the concert in the church last evening. There must have been a lot of work to prepare, but well done all. The high point for me was your viola performance, a favourite instrument for me, a rich sound too so appealing. I hope it was all worth while and the collection worthy of the performances you all gave. As ever, Stewart"

"Hello. Just wanted to pass on my appreciation for your wonderful performance at Callum and Colette’s wedding. As someone who is both a total metal-head (stealthy) but lover of classical music I loved your performance. It added so much to the ambience and created a soundtrack to a special day. I wish you much success in the future and hope your brilliance gets a bigger and bigger platform"

"I've worked with Rachel on a number of occasions and have never had the pleasure of working with a more talented cellist nor as consummate a professional. Rachel always delivers at the highest quality, both with regards her playing as well as her role booking musicians for gigs and recording sessions. Even at short notice, Rachel has always ensured delivery of top quality musicians. I never consider anybody else when it comes to booking strings for a studio session, and I would rarely recommend any other string group for music at weddings and other special events. Warwickshire Strings continue to impress me and I always look forward to future projects working with them. "

"Hi Rachel, Now that Christmas is out of the way, we're finally getting round to our thank yous. A massive thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding at Thornbridge Hall a few weeks ago. Our guests thought you were wonderful. The music choice was perfect and you really made the day extra special for us. Wishing you all a happy new year. "

"We booked Oscar and Dom for our wedding ceremony and reception. They agreed to travel down for the day and also learnt some song requests specifically for the day and played throughout the afternoon during the drinks reception. It was absolutely magical. I couldn't recommend them enough and if we ever have an event in need of musicians again, I know who to ask for!"

"We booked the string duo on 17th August 2019 and they were fantastic. The music was beautiful and they were so easy to work with we didn't have to do anything, which was incredibly helpful. We would highly recommend Magenta Strings to others looking to book a string duo or quartet."

"They were so professional and took into account my many requests. They played for my ceremony, welcome drinks and a candle light dance. They were great and sounded amazing, everyone commented on the music. They also slipped away without people noticing."
