Covent Garden String Quartet were absolutely incredible and we can't thank them enough. We had them perform at our wedding ceremony and post-ceremony drinks reception on New Year's Eve and they were the perfect addition. Incredibly talented women who were a pleasure to work with from the moment we booked them right up to the very end. Their last performance was for our entrance into the wedding breakfast and as they left soon after, our whole room of guests spontaneously clapped and cheered them on their way out, which just emphasises how much they were appreciated by all.

The Covent Garden String Quartet provided the perfect music for a wonderful wedding. Their repertoire is extensive and their ensemble musicianship was a joy to hear. Thank you for making the day so special for the bride and groom and for their guests.

Hello to the wonderful CG String Quartet, I'm sorry it has taken me a few weeks to write this, but we wanted to say a huge thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding day on 15th Sept at Fetcham Park. We had a magical day and really felt that having you play added something extra special to our ceremony and reception. It was also amazing that you were able to work with my cousin Scarlett so that she could sing during our ceremony accompanied by you, a very special memory we will treasure from the day. It was a pleasure to work with you and thank you again!
