Regular venues include: Chewton Glen, Careys Manor & Rhinefield House (New Forest), Lainston House, Marwell Hotel & New Place (Winchester), Manor Barn & Tithe Barn (Petersfield), HMS Warrior, Mary Rose Museum & HMS Victory (Portsmouth), Goodwood House, Upwaltham Barns & Farbridge (West Sussex).

Arrival, setting up, playing, moving playing position when required, departure - all seamless! Delightful people who mixed easily and unobtrusively with the wedding party. Quality of performance was excellent as was choice of music. Can't praise them enough. Would definitively recommend to others and use again should the need arrive. Many, many thanks Karen & John

“I just wanted to drop a quick note to you to thank you for the wonderful performance the Kaleidoscope String Quartet gave at our wedding reception at Chewton Glen Hotel. The background music they provided was the perfect backdrop to our wedding and far exceeded our expectations. Several of our guests have asked us for your contact details, so hopefully they will be in contact with Kaleidoscope Music soon!” Kaleidoscope String Quartet at Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa, New Milton, New Forest, Hampshire
