"After deciding to hire a string quartet for our wedding we searched around for the perfect match and came across Flux Ensemble. From our first interaction Martin was so helpful and answered all of our questions promptly - even offering to try and tie in with the dress code and colour theme on the day which such a thoughtful touch. My fiancé and I were able to look through the extensive repertoire and select our own songs for the ceremony and drinks reception - we were spoiled for choice. When it came around to our wedding, from start to finish the music was absolutely perfect and really completed and made our day. We’ve had no end of guests tell us since how unique it was to have Flux Ensemble there and how truly special it made the wedding ceremony and reception. We are so grateful to Martin, Natalee, Sandy and Natalie and hopefully we can find another occasion to book them again soon."
