Aderyn String Quartet's Reviews

5 out of 5

IF YOU ARE GHIBLI FANS, YOU NEED TO GET THESE GUYS! I hired a trio for my wedding and could not have asked for better ceremony music ! My requests were all Ghibli pieces (Howl's moving castle, Spirited away etc) since my now husband and I are both Ghibli fans. The music Sion, Sam & Miranda played as I walked down the aisle could not have been more perfect, and it really made the moment truly magical! Quite a few of the guests were also Ghibli fans and they gave a lot of compliments about the lovely performances x

Aderyn created just the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. Their tuning was perfect, though the timing/tempo of some of their repertoire was a little sketchy.

We were over the moon with Aderyn during the build up to and on our wedding day, they were professional and sounded amazing too. We had lots of compliments, thank you!

We just wanted to get in touch to express our sincere gratitude to you and the other three members of your team, for performing at our wedding reception last Saturday. You absolutely blew our guests away and they haven't stopped talking about you! I was disappointed to only catch the "second half" but the wedding photographer had us elsewhere. And I'm also sorry that we didn't get much chance to chat. What we did hear, we loved. Thanks for adding a really special finishing touch to our perfect day.

I am happy to give the Aderyn String Quartet a 5 star review. I have been to a wedding recently where the string quartet was a very poor quality. Fortunately, our experience at our daughter's wedding was exactly the opposite. The quality of the music was superb. At one point my husband, a musician himself, said to me, 'Listen, this is beautiful'. Thank you to the Aderyn String Quartet for a professional performance.
