Hi Steve

We have just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to just send you a thank you note. Your string quartet performed at our wedding at Hatfield House and were brilliant, The Ludlow's that we had requested was perfect and played beautifully. We had a lot of people tell us how good the music was. Also I know the registrar was very impressed!

Thanks again for helping to make our day so wonderful

Best regards

Dear Steve

We just wanted to thank you for being so fantastic at our wedding at Down Hall. You and your associates were absolutely brilliant and so many people commented as such. You even managed ‘swing low’! Hindsight is a wonderful thing however, we wouldn’t have had the band in the evening, my father said he would have rather seen/heard you continue into the evening. In any case, I just wanted to say thank you and in addition for the support you gave us in the run up to our big day. We had a wonderful wedding and are grateful to you for your part in it.

Very best wishes

Family get-together ‘Sunday Lunch’ party

Musicians Provided:

Palm Court Trio

Venue:

Macdonald Frimley Hall Hotel and Spa, Camberley, Surrey
Review:

Dear Steve,

Although my wife may have done so already, sorry it has taken me a few days to send our thanks for your excellent and enjoyable music at our lunch last Sunday at the Frimley Hall Hotel. Your choices of music were quite perfect.

Most people knew some or most of the tunes, which means they were pleased to be able to sing along (quietly of course) and enjoy it the more. I am particularly grateful for the splendid fanfare for 'lunch being served' and shall certainly recommend your different groups whenever I can. One of our guests is an examiner for both the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and the Royal College of Organists and he was most impressed with your personal versatility and performance - could you ask for more?

Please convey my thanks to your colleagues, and many thanks again to you personally.

Regards

David

Dear Steve and fellow musicians,

Thank you so very much for a wonderful performance at our lunch party - superb choice of music and so sensitively played - Tina was so right - you are the best!

We were so impressed with the fanfare - and on the right instrument too!

Just about everyone sends their thanks with ours for making it such a lovely time with our friends and family. Hope we can hear you again,

Very Best wishes,

Celia

Review:

Dear Steve

A short note of thanks to say how much we appreciated your professionalism in playing at Theatre Projects Consultants 50 Birthday Celebrations in The Conservatory at The Barbican. The event was a major milestone in the history of the company and you hit just the right note for our guests. Many of the people in attendance commented on the great variety of music you played and I was delighted that you were able to provide both the Palm Court Trio and String Quartet. You and your colleagues very much helped us to celebrate our evening and all of us at TPC Were delighted to have had such a professional group of musicians playing and helping to give the evening such a great ambience.

My thanks one again

Hope all is well with you

Regards

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for supporting Honeypot. We are extremely grateful for the charitable discount you made on our booking for our carol concert. We thought the trumpeters did a marvelous job on the night and your presence also added a special something to the event.

We are pleased to say that the event was a huge success, raising a significant amount which will allow us to continue providing respite breaks to young carers and vulnerable children.

We have had great feedback from our guests and would very much like to book you for next years Christmas Carol Concert. One of our members of staff will definitely be in touch in the foreseeable future.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Kind Regards

‘Once upon a time’ themed event held by John Lewis plc

Musicians Provided:

Fanfare Trumpeters

Venue:

The Royal Courts of Justice, London
Review:

Dear Steven,

Re: Once Upon a Time Ball

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleague for the service provided for us in relation to the above event.

The Trumpeters enhanced the theme of our event and the trumpet fanfares followed by announcements allowed us to create a really regal feel at various points throughout the evening. People stopped, looked up to the balcony and ‘wowed’ in amazement as the sound carried across the great hall to full effect. This proved to be a really integral part of our event, and was a very memorable aspect for many.

Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely,

Germaine Matthews and Claire Gilbert

Review:

Dear Steve,

We would like to extend a belated but heartfelt "thank you" to you and the rest of the group for your amazing performance at our wedding on 23rd March. You played everything absolutely perfectly, incorporating all of my wishes and requests seamlessly.

From accompanying my walk down the aisle to accompanying the wedding breakfast, you were all so professional. I am to this day especially receiving rave comments about your trumpet fanfare at the end of the dinner Steve - it was just fantastic. It made the day all the more truly memorable and we thank you so much for all the extra effort you put in.

Once again please accept our sincere thanks for everything, and we will not hesitate in recommending you to anybody who needs a similar service for any occasion.

With very best wishes,

Nancy and Wayne
