Lovely and talented bunch! Nothing was any trouble for them. They learnt some new songs especially for our Wedding day and was proactive about setting up elsewhere due to where the guests mingled naturally. Thank you so much for a wonderful set!

The Quartet were amazing for our wedding day they were super helpful in the lead up and quick at responding and was amazing on the day of exactly as we imagined for our day! The only thing I wish is that as the bride you didn’t have to go take photos and I could have just stood and listened to more of the music! :) thanks so much!!

The Ebor Quartet are five star musicians. They are so professional, helpful and played great music. Conor especially was fantastic at keeping in touch and offered great support over music choices. You made our daughter’s wedding ceremony perfect. Thank you 🤩

We were lucky enough to have The Ebor Quartet perform at our wedding after being so impressed with one of their Candlelight Concert nights in York. Not only are they excellent musicians but right from the beginning, Conor and the team made the planning seamless and nothing was too much to ask. They even learned one of my favourite classical pieces which I walked down the aisle to. We will definitely be seeing them again at their upcoming concerts.

We hired Ebor Quartet for our wedding and they were amazing! Everyone was so friendly and the they sounded perfect. We chose a Bridgerton-style of songs rather than the traditional music and it was a big hit with everyone. Added that little bit extra to the day and went down so well with everyone. Thank you so much!
