  1. booked ZHL STRINGS for a wedding

    Verified

    The performance was absolutely fine. I chose ZHL Strings from your website having carefully consiudered other options. They appeared to have good reviews and our communication via the webiste was very pleasant. On the day however, just a few minutes before the ceremoney began, one member of the quartet was extremely rude to me which I was so astonished by, I didn't say anything in reply. I was talking just n ext to them to the minister who `I have known for a while, and as people were sitting down taking their seats I asked (a man - possibly Jim but I'm not sure), if they wold be able to start playing. He very rudely repld that hey wold not be starting until the booking time of 1pm. It was approx 2 mins to 1pm and I wojld have been very happy for them to have stolpped 2 mins early! He also then made a very loud personal comment about me (I am mum to the groom) to the rest of the group who looked embarrassed. This was rfeferencing the fact that I was rather stressed - I had done all the flowers, cake and decorations, order of service and booking of the minister singvl-handedly! The minister heard it and contacted me the next day to say how rude she though his behaviour was. Since I was the client and the person who booked the group I am extremely disappointed that we did. This is the only part the wedding that was in any way less than fantastic. It was completely unnecessary and hurtful. Sadly I cannot recommend them for this reason.

    I honestly couldn't give Ebor Quartet enough praise. I made a fair few changes and requests throughout booking them and they have been so helpful and professional throughout. They made our wedding absolutely perfect and I would recommend these musicians to all friends & family. They even played marching on together which got a great reaction from our leeds family

  4. booked Vitula String Quartet for a wedding

    Verified

    Absolutely seamless. Had a FaceTime before the event to go over the songs and the vibes, they learned a new song at my request to play me down the aisle, and we also had them play through our cocktail hour. We go soooo many compliments from guest and the mood created was perfect. Felt like I was throwing my own little Bridgerton soirée. Absolutely recommend this group!

    Serenade Strings is ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! They played all of my requested songs and even learned a new one for my walk down the aisle. All my friends and family said having them at our wedding truly completed the whole experience. I highly highly highly recommend having them at your next event, you will have a BLAST! Sion and Samantha were also extremely easy to work with. SERENADE STRINGS IS AWESOME I wish I had another event as an excuse to hire them!

  7. booked 440 String Quartet (Classical, Bridgerton, Pop and Bollywood) for a wedding

    Verified

    440 Strings played at our garden wedding in August. The communication before the wedding was excellent and when they arrived on the day they knew exactly what to play for us and when. They played my (now) wife down the aisle beautifully. They stayed to play through the cocktail reception and provided lovely background music for our guests. They were exactly what we were after and helped make our special day perfect. Thank you

    Dolce Strings were great. They took the trouble to find out exactly what we wnted them to play and then arrived and played just as we anticipated. My only regret was not to get the opportunity to thank them on the night.

    Kings Quartet played for our surprise engagement and created the most magical memory for both of us.

  17. booked Bowfiddle Strings for a wedding

    Verified

    Bow Fiddle and String brought absolute magic to our wedding day. I asked for a musical atmosphere inspired by Versailles in the 1700s, and they delivered beyond anything I could have imagined. From the moment they began to play, it felt like we had stepped into another era, elegant, romantic, and timeless. Their performance was flawless, beautifully balanced, emotionally rich, and completely in tune with the tone of the day. They understood the vision right away and curated a selection that perfectly matched the opulence and refinement I had hoped for. It truly felt like a royal celebration. Not only are they exceptional musicians, but they were also a joy to work with, professional, gracious, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our guests were enchanted, and so many commented on how the music transported them. If you’re dreaming of something unique and sophisticated, I cannot recommend Bow Fiddle and String highly enough. They turned my vision into an unforgettable reality.

    The Element String Quartet was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. From the very first note, they brought a sense of elegance, warmth, and emotion that perfectly set the tone for our ceremony and celebration. Their playing was exquisite — heartfelt and flawlessly executed. Whether it was the classic pieces or more modern selections, they performed each one with incredible sensitivity and style.

They understood our vision and helped make our day feel truly special. We’re so grateful we chose The Element String Quartet.
