  1. booked for a wedding

    Verified

    From the day we booked with Saffron Strings, the communication was great and selection of songs to choose from was amazing. I wanted songs that weren’t on their repertoire and it was not a problem to have. From the moment I heard my walking down the aisle song, I just fell in love. The music from Saffron Strings was impeccable, I haven’t got the words to describe how perfect they made our day. Thank you so much for being part of our day and making it so special!

  10. booked Erica Sinclair for a wedding

    Verified

    Erica arrived with plenty of time to the ceremony and set up in the outside ceremony area as planned. Unfortunately, the heavens opened and the ceremony had to be moved inside. Erica did this efficiently and swiftly and was ready to begin at the beginning of the ceremony. The performance was beautiful and I can't wait to see and hear our wedding video to listen to the performance fully. Thank you!

  12. booked Stroma Folk & Ceilidh for a private event

    Verified

    Stroma produced a fantastic ceilidh for our belated wedding celebration in Derby, and I can't thank them enough. We had an absolute blast. We've received so many messages from ceilidh newbies and veterans saying what a fantastic time they had - my Scottish uncle described it as a "helluva ceilidh"! The band responded quickly to any questions throughout the booking process and arrived on schedule on the day. They were also flexible and completely unphased when the party was inevitably behind schedule! The band was friendly and inclusive of the range of people at the party, and I'd happily recommend them to anyone!

  13. booked Ramona Rose for a private event

    Verified

    I had booked Sam for a friend’s 50th birthday celebration that I was hosting. Unfortunately Sam contracted Covid just a day before the event. However , Sam was very professional and contacted me straightaway with three female vocalist guitarists on standby. All I had to do was choose whose voice I like the most. Sam had already briefed the girls on my choice of songs and playlist. & I have to say, the singer, Lucy was incredible and the party was a huge success! So I have to say that Sam was very professional indeed. Manpriya X
