Hi Steve,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much to you and the other members of the quartet. You were fantastic, I nearly cried when you started up at the church!! It was fab that all you joined in with the choir, it sounded great. (I'm not too keen on organs!) I didn't get to hear much of you at the reception as the photographer kept dragging us away from everyone, but you looked brilliant set up on the patio and everyone has commented on you. People who aren't yet married now all want a string quartet at their wedding!

Thanks again to you all, you were one of the highlights of the day :o)

Dear Steve

Just a short and hopelessly inadequate note to say a very big thank you to you and your musicians for what all the guests described as an outstanding performance Saturday evening.

Without exception, everybody felt that your ensemble made a massive contribution to the success of the evening. The Post Horn Gallop and medley that followed absolutely floored everybody.

We are extremely grateful to you for not only stepping into the void left by the Royal Marines, but doing so in such a first class fashion. Thank you all very much indeed.

Once again, very many thanks.

Kind regards.

Dear Steve,

You will gather from the rapturous applause what an excellent job you did yesterday. Your selection of music was excellent.

We spoke about booking next year, and the year after, as we would like you to provide the music again.

Kind regards,

Dear Steve,

I have been meaning to email you since our wedding but keep forgetting. I wanted to thank your Piper for a fantastic performance everyone loved him and still talk about him. He was fantastic, 100%. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to him.

Hi Steve,

We just wanted to send you a message to thank you and the rest of the trio on an absolutely amazing performance at our wedding. Every person we have spoken to has commented on how brilliant you all were.

You really did make our wedding complete and we would like to thank you. The way you played the trumpet as we arrived at the ballroom will stay in our minds forever, it made us feel like king and queen! Thanks for the amazing memories you have given us.

If you ever need someone to use as a reference then feel free to give our details out and if we ever need any music again, you will be the only ones we think of.

Good luck for the future.

Kind Regards,

Jez and Sarah

Hi Steve,

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your performance on Thursday night at The British Travel Awards. I think you suited the mood of the guests perfectly and I’ve had some very positive feedback.

Thank you and your fellow performers very much - and, all things being equal I’d like to book you again for next year. Let’s keep in touch.

When I get the final edits of the event highlights I will send you a copy as I am sure you will be included in it!

Kind Regards

Hi Steve

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you to you and your amazing String Quartet for playing at our wedding. So many of our guests commented on the "touch of class" you added to the day. I also wanted to say thank you for your impromptu Trumpet Solo for our entrance to the dining room, its things like this that really make a day memorable.

So a big thank you to you and your team for making our day even more special.

With best wishes

Dear Steve,

We have just returned from our honeymoon and wanted to drop you and email to thank you soooooooooo much for your contribution to make our wedding day the most perfect possible.

The music was beautiful and you and your fellow musicians were the icing on the cake, so to speak. Please thank your fellow musicians for making our wedding day so special. All of our guests and I mean all, commented on the music and it made a big impact. We cannot thank you enough and be assured that should any of our friends decided to take the plunge, we will recommend you without question.

Once again a BIG thank you and we wish you a very Happy New Year.

Kind regards.
