I just wanted to say a thank you to London Strings for playing at my wedding at Highley Manor on Saturday 3rd September. It really made my day and everyone commented on how wonderfully they played. Kind regards,

Both the music in the church and afterwards during the wedding breakfast was enthralling.

Lucy (bride)

Just thought I would send a quick note to say how wonderful The London String Quartet were. They were exactly what we hoped they would be, they played an assortment of music, and managed to create the perfect atmosphere for our Civil Partnership.

Jackie Brooks

It was a magical day. The London String Quartet were absolutely brilliant. We have heard a number of quartets at different functions and they were by far the best. We would thoroughly recommend them. We were very happy with their high quality of performance.

Hugh & Sue

It was a fabulous day and the live music by The London String Quartet was perfect for the ceremony and the drinks reception. Many of our guests commented to us that they thought the music was superb and the strings added magic to our ceremony. They were especially accommodating to my Husband and I when we were selecting pieces that we liked for the ceremony and they played all of our requested pieces superbly.
