Wedding String Quartets for hire in Hampshire
Latest reviews of our Wedding String Quartets in Hampshire
"The Bossard String Quartet played at our wedding in November. They played as our guests arrived, during our entrance and as we signed the register. A quick move to enable the room to be turned around which they were very happy to accommodate, and they played until the wedding breakfast was ready. Amy is very efficient at prompting when relevant admin needs completing, and quick to respond to any queries. They have a huge repertoire of different genres to choose from. They played so beautifully, during The Portuguese theme from Love Actually there wasn't a dry eye in the room. We have also been to see The Bossard String Quartet in a candlelight concert which was absolutely beautiful. We would not hesitate to recommend them."
