Isobel was so easy to speak with, she’s pretty much organised her space and what she needs by herself making the day super easy for us and most of all she played fabulously, even doing a bespoke song request from us. Really special! Thank you Isobel, we really appreciate it and loved having you at our wedding xxx

Dear Isobel Thank you so much for playing at our wedding last week. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful selection of music as Persephone walked down the aisle and we signed the registers. It was a delight to talk to you prior to the service and we knew that the music was in safe hands. So many of our guests have commented since about your playing. THANK YOU! Adrian and Persephone

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I also play in a string quartet. This would be 2 violins, viola and cello. Please look under Rosedale String Quartet

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

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

I work with couples to choose pieces from the repertoire list for ceremonies. With notice it can be possible to source other pieces by request. Otherwise, we choose our own selection to suit the mood of the occasion for pre-ceremony and drinks reception/wedding breakfast parts.
