Hi Amy, We just wanted to say thank you for making our special day on Friday so wonderful. The quartet sounded amazing and so many people have said how great they were. One of our guests, who is getting married next year, even asked for your details as they were so impressed !! We'll put a review on your facebook page shortly, but please feel free to use this on any other social media feeds or publicity material. Thank you again Best Wishes Hannah & Eddie

Hi Amy, Thank you so so much for yesterday! It was absolutely perfect! I wish I could have heard more of the music but I guess that’s the trouble with being the bride! Our guests were extremely complimentary of how lovely it was hearing you play so just wanted to send a little message! Thanks again,

I have performed with Della numerous times over the past couple of years now. She's an excellent section leader, as well as being a well-rounded, highly professional musician she's great fun to be around and work with - would highly recommend!

Della has performed with Piccadilly Symphony Orchestra on numerous occasions leading the viola section. She is a brilliant leader and is generally great to work with. I would highly recommend.
