Colette hired Finishing Touch String Quartet for a Wedding (available in Brighton and Hove)
"We had a fantastic experience with South Down Strings, who we booked for our wedding on 7 September 2024. Communication was excellent - I spoke with the lovely Sheraine multiple times before our wedding to discuss music ideas and she was incredibly helpful in helping me pick a particular arrangement, including discussing timings for my walk down the aisle. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was during our ceremony and reception. We can't thank South Down Strings enough. They were superb! "
