My wife and I wanted to send a big thank you to The Berkshire String Quartet for playing at our wedding. All of the music was perfectly played and several of the guests made a point of commenting on how good the quartet were and the exceptional atmosphere it created. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
Julian and I would like to say a big thank you for the wonderful music you provided at our wedding on Saturday. It was very enjoyable to listen to and made the day even more special for us. Our guests also commented on how they thoroughly enjoyed it too and it provided lovely soundtrack whilst they were enjoying the drinks reception in the sun.
I can’t remember if i emailed you to thank you for such a wonderful job at our white wedding – getting there was incredible as well as the music. This shows the utter commitment you gave to us to actually make it, and then to play so wonderfully – thank you so much to all 4 of you.
All the guests loved every minute, including us. The ceremony was amazing and to hear all my favourite classics was the icing on the cake. I could have quite happily enjoyed listening to you play more during the drinks reception, however as Bride and Groom we were somewhat a little occupied !!!! Once again, thank you all for playing and being a part of our day. It was the best day of our lives.
I would just like to thank you and your colleagues for playing so beautifully at our Wedding. Lot’s of our guests commented on how lovely the music was, and I know that my cousin was interested in booking you for her wedding too.
