"Wow...we cannot thank Lauren enough for singing at our wedding. Lauren was simply amazing and we received so many comments about how good she was. She not only has the most fantastic voice but she was a pleasure to coordinate with and made sure to check we were happy with everything. Can not recommend Lauren enough, definitely one of the best decisions we made."

"What a superb set for Nia and Adrian’s Wedding at the Manor House – Celtic Manor, Newport. The quality of the music, the enthusiastic delivery, the engagement with your audience, the energy, the selection of music, the professional competence, and the overwhelming sense that you knew the evening was special to us all and that you delivered accordingly. Your contribution was the buzz for the evening and indeed when our guests came to reflect on the evening. You helped to create the perfect memory for us all."

"The music was pitched perfectly for what we needed, no pun intended! It was beautiful and quirky to capture people’s attention but mellow enough that folks could chat quietly if they wanted. The arrangements were just delicious. Sarah was so easy to work with and went the extra miles preparing gorgeous covers of some of our favourite songs. She was definitely a talking point of the day!"

"I booked Dahlia group for a corporate dinner and they were fab! All the guests commented on how beautiful it was to have a live string quartet. They played such a great range of songs so brilliantly. Heather was super responsive and helpful and the guys onsite were really friendly and laid back. Definitely recommend *****"

"Walking down the aisle to their rendition of Canon in D was the most magical moment of my life. Pivotal Strings Trio played with such emotion and grace that it brought me to tears. I couldn’t imagine our day without them."

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"We were absolutely delighted with Astri Strings (Victoria & Jude), who played at our wedding. From the very start, communication with them was so easy and stress-free — they were professional, warm, and accommodating to every request. Their repertoire is incredible, covering everything from classical and jazz through to modern-day hits. One particularly special touch was when they learnt and performed the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, even though it wasn’t on their list. That meant the world to me, and it was played so beautifully. They performed seamlessly as our guests arrived, throughout the ceremony, and into the drinks reception, creating a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. So many of our family and friends commented on how stunning the music was, and we couldn’t agree more! We would 100% recommend Astri Strings to anyone planning a wedding or any other celebration. They were an absolute joy to work with and such a memorable part of our special day. Ayesha & Fred x August 2025 Worton Hall, Witney "
