"We hired the Howell String Quartet for our wedding back in May. They were fantastic - very professional and sounded great! Good repertoire including classical and pop covers, and they were really helpful in suggesting pieces for the ceremony. They even managed to put together a cover of the Cantina band song from Star Wars (our wedding was May the 4th...!) Would highly recommend them 😊

We booked the Howell String Quartet for our wedding ceremony and reception in July, and they were absolutely brilliant. From our first enquiry to the wedding day itself, they were very helpful, accommodated our musical requests and presented a selection of additional music from a variety of genres from which we could choose. They responded to messages quickly, which made planning the day that bit easier. I had written a piece for them to play for the arrival of the bride, which they performed flawlessly having only been given it on the day. Thanks for your brilliant performances!
