"I completely recommend this group! I am a musician myself so I hired a string quartet for my older brother’s wedding. I didn’t expect this level of professionalism and talent. My family loved it and are super thankful. I will surely be booking them again. Thank you so much"

"We'd like to thank Warwickshire Strings for their amazing performance and perfect timing as Dawn and her bridesmaids came down the aisle! They were very professional and tailored everything for our day. We'd highly recommend this duo. Many Thanks."

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"Thank you so much for your wonderful playing at our wedding on Saturday. It was the perfect surprise for my bride and guests, who all commented how beautiful you sounded. Verity particularly liked the music from Amelie, and many of my guests were telling me their own personal favorites that you played. It has been a seamless process dealing with you all of the way through and I felt very reassured that you would do a professional job. Once again, thank you for your part in making it a perfect day for us both."

"TIDE played at our wedding at the start of November this year. From start to finish, they were amazing!! So many guests commented on how great they were, some telling us they were the best band they'd seen at a wedding! I managed to arrange a surprise song for my husband, and they even let him get up and sing it with them (which he, and everyone else loved!). All in all, these guys were amazing! Would definitely recommend!"

"This is Tom, a customer at the Pepper Tavern Sat 11th October that kept us playing to 00.35 by asking more and more for his 10 friends who were loving our performance. His Uncle owns the building"

"Fabulous band. Amazing selection of music and got everyone up on dancefloor. Great musicians and singers. And accommodating - we didn't start until much later than predicted but they were able to flex the timings. Great organisation by Ben in advance meant that all the logistics went very smoothly. I would highly recommend and use again!"

"Super tight funky and disco band with incredible singers. Studio Groove kept the dance floor packed all night and made the evening of our wedding so much fun. Band leader Derrick was very approachable, asking in advance of the event if I had any requests for additional songs. I'd 100% book Studio Groove again if I'm ever organising another event that needs great music. Thank you Derrick and the band!"
