Great music however Caroline was quite rude to deal with. Charged extra and organised prior to the event to play 15 minutes extra, however the band tried to leave 15 minutes earlier than the discussed time, rude when I asked them to stay for the remaining time. Didn't introduce themselves, didn't say thank you and were rude to staff. Wouldn't book again.

We were absolutely thrilled to have the Storm String Quartet perform at our wedding reception! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding, which made the planning process a breeze. The quartet was not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making everyone feel at ease. Their talent is simply unmatched; each piece they played added a magical touch to our special day. Guests were raving about their performances, and many even asked for their contact information for future events. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience, and we highly recommend Storm String Quartet to anyone looking to elevate their event with beautiful, live music! Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!
