You were a joy to listen to and a joy to behold.
Lorna O booked Birmingham String Quartet for their Wedding • October 2023
“Thank you: for playing so superbly; for looking so beautiful; for fitting into our celebration so sensitively and for helping to make the day everything I had hoped it would be. You were a joy to listen to and a joy to behold.”
Our guests were in awe of you!
Lauren A booked Birmingham String Quartet for their Wedding • October 2023
“We would like to say from the bottom of our hearts thank you ever so much, you were truly so wonderful performing at our wedding. We felt so blessed to have you there. Our guests were in awe of you, as were myself and O’Brian. Thank you for your time and energy on such a special day in our lives.”
We are so happy that we found you to play for our day!
Hattie A booked Birmingham String Quartet for their Wedding • October 2023
“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for the really wonderful atmosphere you created for our wedding earlier this month - we have received so many compliments of the sound you produced and it really added that extra spark to our day. Clair de Lune was absolutely stunning and created a real sense of calm before the ceremony started. The minute the first note of Book of Love was played, we were both completely awash with emotion, it was all just perfect. We are so sorry we didn’t get the opportunity to thank you properly on the day, but we just wanted to drop you a note just to say that you were wonderful and we are so happy that we found you to play for our day! Thanks again, and we hope to be able to hear you play again one day!”
You guys should be celebrated!
Joe E booked Birmingham String Quartet for their Wedding • September 2023
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding at Pendrell Hall on 14th September. You were absolutely amazing, everyone absolutely loved the atmosphere you created. It was absolutely perfect and you are all so talented. You guys should be celebrated!”
