Thank you for your wonderful performances with the quintet at our wedding yesterday.
Lots of guests have said to us how beautiful the music before the ceremony was. Our entrance and exit were just perfect, I had such a big grin on my face at the end of the ceremony as we exited during 76 trombones. And the atmosphere created in the garden reception could not have been better – we were thrilled by it all.
One moment I remember seeing that I particularly want to thank you, that my youngest nephew is absolutely fascinated and delighted by all musical instruments at the moment – it was a real joy seeing him interacting with you and thank you for showing all the different instruments to him.
Just a quick note to thank you again for such a wonderful performance on Saturday. We’ve unsurprisingly been going over all our favourite bits of the wedding, and one of the clear highlights is our ‘private’ performance of ‘The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba’ and ‘All You Need is Love’, as apart from it being one of the few moments during the day where we felt it was just the two of us, the playing was quite beautiful. The comments we’ve had from all our guests is also about how much they enjoyed your music and how much better a wind ensemble is than the rather more standard string quartet as part of making an exceptional wedding experience!
I cannot thank you enough for playing at our daughters wedding on Saturday.
Apologies for the fact that we were late to the church. My son Toby, who was one of the ushers told me that you had to repeat some of the music from your playlist as we took so long.
So thanks for your professionalism. I received so many comments on the day as to how good you were and having you there to entertain our waiting guests saved the day.
You certainly contributed to the magic of the occasion and we will be forever grateful.
Please pass on my thanks to all of your colleagues.
