The Arianne String Quartet's Reviews

5 out of 5

The Arianne String Quartet played at our wedding ceremony and reception at the beginning of October, and I have nothing but praise to give them. From booking we had nothing but professionalism from Alexander throughout our communication, we asked for three songs to be played during our ceremony and they did a fantastic job of every single one. They kept our guests entertained throughout the drinks reception playing an assortments of pieces, and were an absolutely perfect addition to our day. I would highly recommend booking them!

Thank you so much Isobel for asking the quartet to perform for your special day, and for your kind review. It was our pleasure to provide the musical backdrop to the festivities for you and your lovely guests.

We booked Alexander to play as part of a duet at our wedding in August. Our plans changed, as we got closer to the day, but the group could not have been more accommodating. They were a real hit with our guests, as they played during the ceremony, playing a great range of music with true quality. We wouldn’t haste o recommend the group to others in the future. Thank you !!

We booked Alex to play as a duet (him on violin and another member of the quartet on cello) at our awards event. The music, the style and the performance fitted the occasion perfectly. Some of the attendees at the event are, let's say, slightly hard to please, but we had nothing but positive feedback. A wide repertoire and very professional (including turning up at the venue earlier in the day to check over where they were playing). Highly recommended.

The music yesterday was beautiful and we all really enjoyed it. It gave the event a very special feel.
