The music provided by Susan for our ceremony at Ludlow Castle was perfect She contacted me before the wedding to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and then executed it perfectly. The guests were commenting all day on how lovely the music was during the ceremony and cocktail hour :) Thank you so much! Kathryn

Just a massive thank you for the beautiful music provided by the string-quartet last Saturday. I am sorry I didn’t get chance to thank you personally but you made a massive contribution to the event’s success. Everyone commented after how lovely the music was and I am sure the heat was unbearable on that stage at times. I wish you success with all your summer events and thank you again for making it such a very memorable occasion for us all. Jessica’s mum, Jane x

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I play as a violin solo or violin duo so quotes can include another player.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I only take one booking per day so change of time should not be a problem unless the venue is further away!

How much time do you need to set up?

We will always be ready to play half an hour before the event starts.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes, you can pick anything from our repertoire list. Also, special requests not on the list can usually be accomodated as long as we have enough notice.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.”

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, as long as we have enough notice
