Wedding, Thrilled with the music

J & I would like to say an enormous thank you for the quartet’s contribution to the enjoyment of our wedding. We were thrilled with the music & thank you for all your hard work.

Saffron Strings, Talented people providing wonderful memories on the best day of our lives.

I would like to say a really big thank you for playing so wonderfully at our wedding. All of our guests said how beautiful the music was both inside and outside the house. I thoroughly enjoyed listening, especially to the current music, played so well during the wedding breakfast. I can only apologise for not being able to talk to you once you had finished..the day just seemed to go so quickly. Thanks to you all, you are all very talented people, providing wonderful memories on the best day of our lives!
 

Saffron Strings, You were all wonderful

Carl and I are off on our honeymoon this afternoon and we really wanted to write a quick email to you thanking you for playing at the wedding. You were all wonderful.
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 playmore during the drinks reception, however as Bride and Groom we were somewhat a little occupied !!!! Least it stayed dry, how lucky were we all .....
Once again, thank you all for playing and being part of our day. It was the best day of our lives.

Wedding, The utter commitment you gave us

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.

Wedding, Thank you for the wonderful music

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 a lovely soundtrack whilst they were
enjoying the drinks reception in the sun.

Wedding, In all dealings we had with you we found you to be brilliant.

My wife and I wanted to send a big thank you 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. In all dealings we had with you we found you to be brilliant and every e-mail we sent in the lead up to the wedding was answered quickly. We have made a point of including a picture of the quartet in our Wedding Photo Album as we will always want to remember the service and your performance.

Wedding, Thanks for playing so beautifully

Many thanks for playing so beautifully on Saturday... It was lovely to arrive at Winkworth Farm to hear you playing in the garden - in lovely sunshine! I'm sure our guests enjoyed sipping their drinks to the sounds of your strings!
