Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I would just like to thank the girls for playing so beautifully at the wedding. When we came out the church and I heard them start playing it made me really excited to get over to the barn! Thank you so much."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked this fabulous trio to perform for us all at a special family birthday celebration for a 90 th, 80th and 2 x 85ths. The family attending ranged from age 12-90 and they really engaged and catered for us all. Their music was amazing and technically excellent. They performed a mix of songs and pieces through dinner and a further set dancing.prior to the event we spoke at length about what our group would enjoy and even sought and arrangement of a song which was special to one of our guests. Everyone was delighted with them and we would definitely recommend to anyone!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I'm so grateful to the Capital Strings for everything they did which helped to make our wedding day so special! Throughout the planning Josephine's knowledgeable and friendly manner really put me at ease and she made sure that we were happy with the choices of pieces for various parts of the day. Walking in to meet my husband to be and hearing such a wonderful sound was a very special moment for me. I can not thank these highly skilled, professional and friendly musicians enough. I'm eager for another occasion to hear them and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for live musicians for their event."

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Capital Strings played at our wedding reception set in the grounds of a gorgeous Georgian building. The calibre and skill of these musicians is absolutely second to none. Not only are they incredibly talented with their music delighting both my new husband, myself and our guests, they were such personable and likeable people! Liaising with them regarding their repertoire and what instruments we should like to involve was made so simple (especially for a person with limited musical ability/understanding like myself). They were a joy to instruct and I shall
certainly do so again at our next family celebration! Their repertoire is also to be highly commended and is blessed with variety – they can play a whole array of pieces, including a range of classical compositions through to recent pop music, so every guest had something they could relate to, even our two-year-old flower girl was dancing. I cannot praise them any higher, they made our wedding day and were simply amazing to listen to. Thank you all so much, we will be in touch again!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our wedding on Wednesday. I thought you were all wonderful and the music complimented our day so well. So many of our guests were full of praise for you all as well and were very complimentary so thank you again."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"A big thank you for your playing through our ceremony. It wouldn't have been the same without live music. Thanks for being so helpful with the music choices and for putting up with my indeciveness! You sounded perfect!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"A huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday! Loads of our guests told us how beautiful your music was, and it made me well up as I was walking down the aisle. We appreciated you so much!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Fiona and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your colleagues for an incredible performance at our wedding. We were so happy with the music!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"All,
Thank you all so much for playing at our wedding! We thought you were absolutely brilliant during the ceremony and during the reception. Thank you particularly for improvising so well before Emma arrived and I was (more than) a tad nervous...
I'm sorry we didn't catch you to thank you in person before you left, the day was a total blur for both of us and I'm not sure we knew what was happening most of the time.
We will certainly recommend you to our friend here and in London (and anyone else who will listen)!
Thank you again for playing so beautifully. All the best to all of you"
