Line-up Options:
"Really did a wonderful job at our wedding, fabulous playing, they set the tone brilliantly. We had so many comments about what excellent musicians they are."
"We booked Keston Strings for our gala dinner on the last night of an international conference. They complimented Queen’s College perfectly and delighted our guests with their mix of classic and modern music. The booking process was easy and were great to work with."
"Excellent - great sound and very easy to work with in preparing for the event."
"The band were great, everything was professional and sounded amazing. We hired them for our wedding and would definitely recommend!"
"Lots of compliments on the day regarding the music and how professional all the musicians were. They were so lovely to us and played lots of amazing music. Thank you for being part of our special day!"
"These guys were perfect. We had so many compliments and they absolutely smashed it both in the church and at the reception. Thank you so much for making our special day even more special!!!"
"10/10 went above and beyond to learn new songs for our wedding! Absolutely gorgeous Thank you so much everyone loved the music!"
"Such a brilliant addition to our wedding! Keston Strings are very talented musicians and lovely people, thank you!"
"After hearing the quality of your group on Saturday I would very much like to work with you again in the future."
"We had Keston Strings' two cellos line-up play at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. Dan was incredibly helpful and professional and nothing was too much trouble. An example of this was when they learnt how to play one of the Star Wars tunes to play during the ceremony, which went down exceptionally well with all our guests. They were a great addition to our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
"We were delighted with Keston Strings and they really did a first class job at my wife’s birthday celebration. The music itself was well performed and appropriate, but what really made the difference was how accommodating they were, especially as the space they were allocated was a little limited. Our young granddaughters were fascinated by them and possibly got in their way a bit but they were lovely with them and even played some requests from them. Perhaps a young string quartet in the making. So overall a very positive experience, so I would highly recommend Keston Strings!! Thank you so much."
"Keston Strings were amazing on our wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, they were always quick to reply to any queries we had and had an extensive repertoire of music for us to choose from. On the day itself, they arrived early and judged the ambiance perfectly for the music for the guests' arrival. For the ceremony, they played absolutely beautifully and made the bride's entrance special and memorable. They also set a perfect ambiance for the drinks reception after our ceremony. Punctual, open, and professional, thank you so much for making our wedding day so special."
"Brilliant experience! The music sounded amazing in the church and reception, communication was great and the band were really accommodating for our requests. Can’t recommend enough!"
"The guys from Keston Strings were brilliant on the day. We had requested a song that wasn't on their song list to be played for the ceremony entrance, they were able to find the sheet music for the song and they played it beautifully on the day. It was quite a hot day on our wedding day so we were outside in the gardens for our drinks reception, the guys from Keston Strings were so professional and tried to follow the crowd of guests as we moved around the gardens for photos. I would highly recommend Keston Strings. Thank you again"
"Our Keston Strings duo (Dan on cello and Adrian on violin) we're utterly fantastic. I had made the booking for our pre-wedding drinks reception fairly last minute as I had a minor panic about a lack of "atmosphere", and I needn't have worried because the pair bought energy and a fantastic repertoire. Many of our guests commented on how great they were, and chastised me for not thanking them in my speech. So, THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
