"The String Quartet played beautifully, were unobtrusive and our
guests commented on the high quality playing and the superb range
of repertoire. This certainly helped towards making our evening
reception a great success. Can we book for the same time next year?
Many thanks."

"I just wanted to thank both you and the Quartet for helping to make my Wedding Day so perfect. You were very patient with me and my last minute decision-making and made the whole process from the provisional booking through to the performance on the day itself very easy. The Quartet were wonderful both in their performance (and choice of music!) and also in their organisation. Everyone has said how they added a special atmosphere to the ceremony and the reception drinks, and they moved between the two without me even noticing!!
I hope our paths will cross again in the future, I will certainly recommend you to any brides-to-be I come across!!

"The quartet were amazing, they were friendly, helpful, extremely flexible and made my wedding ceremony very very special. I heard them playing as I arrived at the castle and already started to feel emotional. Everyone of my guests commented on how wonderful it was to have such talented people playing, and such a wide variety of pieces, including many that I hadn't expected. Thank you so much, they were fabulous and may I say worth every penny."

"The string quartet who played at the wedding were wonderful, and a perfect accompaniment to both the reception drinks and dinner. We have had many compliments from guests who all thoroughly enjoyed the music. Please thank all the members of the quartet for making the day perfect. We would highly
recommend your services to anyone looking for a musical accompaniment to their special occasion."

"Please pass my thanks to the quartet, they were absolutely fantastic. As a musician, I am always nervous about hiring groups that I don’t know.... I was very relieved. Both your service and the quartet were professional in approach and the playing was of the best calibre. Superb!"

"The quartet were absolutely fabulous, the guests loved them and I know they were asked for details by a couple of them. Please pass on our thanks to the muscians and a special thank you for playing the 'Match Of The Day' music which went down a storm!!"

"Please thank Jeremy & the Gagliano string quartet for me. I had a brief chance to thank them in between the usual photos being taken. They were great and I'm glad you were able to guide me on the final pieces! My guests also enjoyed their music on a lovely summers day. I would recommend your services."

"I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work. From the moment I made my first enquiry with stringquartet.co.uk the service I received was professional and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The quartet added a wonderful atmosphere to our wedding day and so many guests commented on the skill of the musicians and the mix of tunes played - from Irvin Berlin's 'Cheek to Cheek' to Handel's 'La Rejoussance from Fireworks'. The quartet were exceptionally accommodating and were happy to move several times (to avoid the bank holiday rain), all in all I highly recommend stringquartet.co.uk!"

"We were very happy with the string quartet, I've had some lovely comments back about how they sounded! They certainly looked the part and when we spoke they were very friendly. The quartet were great about relocating outside at short notice. I'd have no hestitation in recommending your services to others! Thanks again for your help and advice."

"We would like to thank you all for making Adam & Rebecca's day so special. I did not say goodbye to you on the day, when I would have told you how happy we were with your service. Many of our guests remarked on your playing and what a lovely touch to any wedding."

"Thank you so much for your performance at my sister's wedding. I can't believe that all it took was a few emails and everything went without a hitch! I received very positive comments from the guests about the quartet and how the music really made the occasion so thank you so much and I look forward to booking again in the future."

The programme cleverly including such a variety of pieces and the inclusion of the Soprano worked brilliantly & was exactly what was needed.
We have received unanimous praise from all who attended, many remarking it was the best event ever - praise indeed as this was our 10th year. Once again thank you for a marvellous weekend's entertainment."

"Just to say thanks once again to the quartet for providing a performance of real quality, which contributed significantly to a wonderful evening for me. I was inundated with comments from guests, all along similar lines, that the musicianship and repertoire were of the highest professional standards. In addition to the actual playing last night, the whole organisation and communication was exemplary. Thanks very much again, and if you wish to use me as a reference for prospective clients please feel at absolute liberty to do so."
C.A. - May '08 - West Lodge Park Hotel, Hertfordshire
"I just wanted to say how absoloutely delighted we were with the 'Nelson String Quartet'. All of our guests remarked how brilliant they were, but most of all they especially impressed my husband, who wasn't sure what I had arranged for the evening. I am most appreciative, as it made our joint 50th Birthday Party, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, hopefully in the not too distant future. Once again with very many thanks."

"I was put in touch with stringquartet.co.uk by a friend as I was looking for music for a birthday party. They provided me with a string quartet to play during drinks before dinner and a jazz band after dinner. The quality of the music was excellent, and the musicians themselves very amiable and professional. All went very much according to plan and was exactly as I had hoped. In organizing the musicians before the event stringquartet.co.uk were extremely helpful, offering suggestions and advice as to what might be appropriate when I wasn’t quite sure myself. They even came along to the venue beforehand to ensure that what was being offered would work in the space provided. They offered a solution that was much more flexible and tailored to what I wanted in terms of timings and content than I was being offered by the other solutions that I was looking at. I was extremely pleased with the end result and many of my guests commented on how good the music was. I had a great experience with them and would recommend stringquartet.co.uk to others."
