From booking to completion the Beaufort Quartet provided a professional and friendly service. I am so pleased we booked them. We could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you to all of you for making our concert of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater a huge success. I would definitely look at performing with them in the future.

Dear Ann, we just wanted to say thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful music at our wedding. Please also pass on our thanks to the rest of the Beaufort String Quartet. From the entry of the Bride to the reception, the music was absolutely stunning. So many of our friends and family have commented on it too! We also wanted to say a special thank you for including the wonderful rendition of "The Sailor's Bonnet" - it meant so much to us and will forever be in our memories.!
