    5 stars - Birmingham String Quartet are Highly Recommended
    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!”
