Here are a few of the comments we have received from people over the years:
Booking Occasional Strings for our wedding in January was one of the best decisions that we made! They were absolutely great from the moment that we first made contact with them, right through until the day itself. The group even learned a new piece for our wedding (’Whatever’ by Oasis) and did everything they could to make our day as special as possible. Our guests are still talking about their playing and having their beautiful music at our wedding really helped to create the atmosphere we were aiming for. I really wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Occasional Strings!
- Hollie and Brendan
“Thank you Occasional Strings for creating a wonderful atmosphere at our wedding reception. Both ourselves and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed hearing you play the music we requested.”
- Hazel and Matt
“Thank you for the amazing music for our wedding, I think it really made a lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend your group!”
- Leah and John
“You were brilliant and we had so many comments from guests about how lovely the music was. Using your popular tunes made our wedding fun but still classy. The arrangement of “If I should fall behind” by Bruce Springsteen was beautiful and made our day even more special. We wish we had got to hear more of you on the day. We would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone and would love to organise another party so we could hear you play again! Thank you so much for adding to a brilliant day”
- Julia and Paul
“Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and providing such beautiful music for our drinks reception, one of our guests commented they felt like it was a scene from a movie! Your professional approach was matched by your fantastic playing. We are already trying to think of events we can book you for in the future…”
- Steve and Jess
“You were an excellent choice for our wedding – friendly, reliable and obviously committed to putting on a good performance. Your repertoire of popular songs as well as classical kept everyone entertained and the two special requests you arranged for us were real stand-out moments of the day”
- Annie and Richard
“I wanted to say a huge thank-you to you and the rest of the quartet. You played beautifully at our wedding, very professionally and with lots of feeling. Being able to walk into the ceremony to such lovely ‘live’ music was very, very special. You provided the perfect accompaniment to our day; so thanks again.”
- Lindsay and James
“Just to say thank you, once again, for your splendid playing at the Henry Moore open day today. Hugely enjoyable and so appropriate to the occasion. We look forward to hearing you again sometime (somewhere).”
- Garry Humphreys
“Thank you to all the members of Occasional Strings for playing at the Henry Moore Foundation Open Garden on Sunday 13 July. It was a tremendously successful event and I hope you all enjoyed your afternoon there, we certainly enjoyed your music.”
- Red Cross, Hertfordshire Branch
“Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding celebration. The music was fantastic and we really appreciated your arranging and playing of our especially requested songs. You made the day even more memorable, so thank you!”
- Ciara & Dominic
“A perfect accompaniment to a wonderful day”
