I would highly recommend Helen White (Barton Court Strings) as musicians for a wedding as they were absolutely brilliant. Not only did they sound amazing but looked great too in black concert attire. Looking forward to seeing our video from the day so we can enjoy this all over again! Many thanks for helping us make our wedding day extra special, Reviewed by: Gina and Peter

My Daughter told me that she would love to hear a String Quartet on her Wedding day, (the most important day of her life), so I approached Helen White of Court Barton Strings to play at my daughters wedding at Boconnoc Church and was not disappointed!! The standard was very high, as was the professionalism and dedication to making the day just as my daughter and son in law wanted it to be. Helen asked her to choose the music that she would really like to hear. She chose, The Kiss, The carpenters, ‘We’ve only just begun’, Somewhere only we Know, and a few other classics and music that meant a lot to both of them, along with traditional hymns. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble! Helen even wrote new arrangements for the strings when required. Court Barton Strings were totally amazing! Dressed for the occasion, perfectly timed, arrived early and played beautifully throughout the service. I really can not recommend them highly enough, and happy to speak to any other Mum who would love this special day the best it can be!
