String Quartets for Corporate Event Hire in East Sussex
Latest reviews of our Corporate Event String Quartets in East Sussex
"Brighton Cello Quartet - Absolutely magical! From our very first email, Emily listened carefully to the atmosphere we wanted to create for our wedding and was so thoughtful and accommodating in helping us bring it to life. She sent us an extensive playlist to explore and the Quartet even took the time to learn some of the pieces we particularly wanted, which weren't already on their repertoire. The combination of classical music and more contemporary, popular pieces was perfect for our day. Their professionalism, sensitivity and the atmosphere they created made both our ceremony and reception feel truly magical. They looked fabulous, played beautifully and brought such a special quality to our celebrations. Although we'd listened to recorded snippets beforehand, nothing could have prepared us for how wonderful the music would sound live. It was unforgettable. Our guests were full of praise for the quartet, and we couldn't agree more. They were such an important part of our wedding, adding elegance, warmth and a real sense of occasion without ever feeling anything less than natural and perfectly suited to us. A huge thank you to Emily and every member of the quartet for your talent, care and for making our day so special. We would recommend Brighton Cello Quartet wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional live music for their wedding or special event. "

"Fantastic. South Downs Strings played at our wedding and I'm so pleased they did. The music was absolutely beautiful, with a brilliant selection of songs and they even managed to sneak Star Wars past the wife before she noticed. My only regret is that with everything else going on I didn't get chance to see more of them. Sheraine is fantastic to deal with and they were one of the least stressful parts of the day and planning. Huge thank you!"
