I just want you to know that we very much appreciated your playing. A number of my guests said to me how lovely it was to have musicians to accompany the tea – better than the Ritz was one comment! Many thanks for your contribution to my special day.

String and Tonic played during the drinks reception of my wedding. I have to say they sounded fantastic and all the guests commented how splendidly they both played creating a wonderful atmosphere. It was great to hear the buzz of my guests with String and Tonic playing in the background. It has been a pleasure working with String and Tonic. They are both extremely professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them
