Reviews from local events in Greater London
“These folks are INCREDIBLE. They performed an acoustic set (string trio) during our ceremony and cocktail hour and then transformed (outfit changes and everything!) for an electric set (electric violin/fiddle, sax and DJ) for our reception. So, so talented. And really energetic, performed in the middle of the dance floor and on chairs/tables with our guests. What a blast! Accommodated every song request we had and were wonderful to work with in the months leading up to the event. (They were so nice to my mom!) We had 2 guests ask to book them for their upcoming weddings. I really can't recommend them highly enough. Easily the best part of our wedding (outside of spending time with my groom, of course :) ).”
“Symphonic strings were so easy to work with! Our customers really loved having them in our store and their repertoire appealed to our entire demographic. They were friendly and professional and we would be very happy to work with them again in the future!”

“A wonderful quartet, who both sounded incredible and were extremely professional. They made the ceremony truly romantic, followed by elevating the drinks reception energy with their upbeat set. Look forward to working with Angel Strings again. Many thanks, Sophie Amor.”
“We hired The Paragon String Quartet for our wedding and they were wonderful! Communication in the run up to the date was quick and easy, and the repertoire list was extensive. On the day, the quartet played beautifully across the afternoon and were able to accommodate all of our requests, including one song that wasn't in their repertoire list. We loved the selection, including the specific ones we chose. We loved having them for our day and highly recommend them.”

“Absolutely incredible. Initially, we were a bit apprehensive about booking a DJ due to a previous bad experience at our engagement party. Music can truly make or break the atmosphere, but we needn't have worried at all. The DJ was phenomenal, perfectly setting the tone and becoming the highlight of our entire wedding. The violinist was flawless from the ceremony to the party, adding an elegant touch throughout. Both were incredibly friendly and stayed in touch from the moment we booked them until the big day. We honestly cannot recommend them enough. We're tempted to throw another party just to have them both again. Thank you so much!”

“We booked Beats & Strings for our wedding and they were incredible! The whole experience from beginning to end was so personal, with them eager to find out what we loved to make the day perfect. Walking down the aisle just felt magical and they kept our guests well entertained afterwards with beautiful arrangements. It was everything we hoped for and more. Again the service from beginning to end was so personal and nothing was too much to ask. So many of our guests have said how much they loved the group and we are already thinking of an excuse to book them again. The musicians were so professional and the booking process was incredibly smooth. I would highly recommend to anyone - thank you so much!”
“Artemis Strings were amazing. They really went above and beyond and we will certainly be using them again. True professionals in every sense. What we managed to achieve in just one day was nothing short of a miracle and Artemis Strings were instrumental in this.”
“Utopia Strings was a pleasure to work with for our big day. They were professional from the outset and had a huge choice of songs we could choose from. Anyone thinking of a string quartet or similar for their special day should look no further than these guys. They are brilliant.”
“Mythos Strings performed at our wedding and they were absolutely sensational! I only wish we had them for longer. David and his team were very polite and friendly. Highly recommend them. Thank you again you really made the wedding that little bit more special.”
“Truly lovely. A beautiful accompaniment to a sophisticated evening.”
“The girls were amazing! The performance was absolutely stunning and I’ve had great feedback from so many people. The outfits the girls were wearing were amazing and their energy was contagious. It was especially wonderful that they came out for a second set which was just absolutely beautiful and perfect. That was completely awesome!”

“Beats & Strings played at our VIP corporate event for 150 people. They are a modern take on a classic concept with an option of a beatboxer whom the crowd loved.
