Beautiful music, excellent service

I hired the string trio for my ceremony and reception. Anna was very professional and quick to respond and helped me to figure out how to do my aisle music. They were very flexible, moving locations and staying for a little longer to take us all the way to the wedding breakfast. We sent the list of songs we wanted to play in advance and they stuck to it perfectly. They really added to the day, would definitely recommend!

Fantastically beautiful and professional

We had these guys (string quartet) play at our ceremony and reception last weekend and they were fantastic. All my guests have commented how lovely they played in the church. At the reception I finally got to really listen to them and they are all so talented playing a range of music styles. The communication before hand was great and they were very helpful. 100% recommend and would hire again for an event.
