The music played at our wedding was beautiful and completely changed the energy at the wedding and made it feel much more romantic. The personalised covers we asked them to perform were much better than expected. They were very lovely to speak to and made an effort with any guests who interacted with them. We would highly recommend .

It was a privilege to have Serenity Strings perform at our wedding in the Quantocks. From start to finish they were fantastic. We will forever cherish the memories of the bespoke songs they arranged and performed for us during our ceremony. They sounded truly magical and were such a special part of our perfect day. Alex & Steph xx

Serenity Strings provided an incredible array of music throughout the ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding. The level of professionalism, communication and flexibility the girls had right from booking to on the day was second to none. From arranging a personal song for walking down the aisle to creating an incredible set list for the rest of the day, I could not be happier to have asked the girls to perform at our wedding. The guests were in awe of the music and I know a few have taken their details for future events. If you want a Bridgerton feel to your event bringing modern and classic pop songs as well as all the string classics to your day then book these two!! Thanks again for all you did to make our wedding truly special

We absolutely loved having Serenity String Duo at our wedding. In all honesty wedding music wasn't something we'd given much thought to, but from the moment we heard Laura and Katja perform at a wedding fair, we were sold. They offer a range of packages depending on what you want and the list of songs is endless so you can make everything just how you want it with plenty of suggestions from them along the way. Communication was great from start to finish. You will not regret booking Serenity String Duo for your wedding! Thank you Laura and Katja.

I hadn’t heard the musicians play before the wedding day as the bride had heard and chosen them so I wasn’t sure how they would sound. They played so beautifully, the moment I heard them I knew that I had nothing to worry about. ALL the guests at the wedding commented how beautiful they played and it really did help create a perfect day. Standing at the alter, waiting for the bride and listening to the strings of Serenity duo is such a precious memory and I am so thankful to them for creating it.
