What People Have Said
"Dear Annemarie and the Cairn Quartet, Just back from honeymoon and wanted to thank you all for the beautiful music for our wedding at Prestonfield on Sunday 7 September. You were absolutely breathtaking and even better than we'd imagined so thank you so much. From the pieces you played before our ceremony, to the special arrangements during our ceremony (including our hymn In Christ Alone which sounded wonderful) everything was perfect. Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I walked down the aisle to) and You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban (which was played during silent prayer) especially were both huge hits with our family and friends and there wasn't a dry eye in the house at those points. We have had so many compliments on the music we just had to let you know how happy we were with it and also to let you know that it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. Your customer service and whole approach was fantastic - so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble and your calming and laid back manner was much appreciated! We wouldn't hesitate to use you again or recommend you to friends and family (in fact I recommended you to a colleague Melissa Ferrie a number of weeks ago who has since booked you for her wedding at the Botanics in Glasgow this autumn). Our photographs should be ready any day now so I'll forward the link to our web gallery as soon as they are ready so you can see yourselves on camera and perhaps use a photograph on your blog.
Take care, speak to soon.
With love from Mairi & Paul Gordon xxx"
"Hi Annemarie,
The new Mrs Dean here! I just wanted to email you to say a huge thank you for being part of our big day on 6th September at the Dunblane Hydro. Everyone has informed me that you were excellent and really added to the ambience of the day.
Thank you so much for all your help with the composition of Colorful, our friends said it was wonderful. I am really excited to see the video as then I will really get a chance to appreciate the music. Also, having played the cello myself for 10 years, I think there is something very beautiful about the sight of a string ensemble playing whether it be a quartet or a full orchestra! Once again, thanks for everything you did. I won't forget you. 
Kind regards
Amanda & Andrew"
"Hi, I am sorry that it has taken me this long to get around to thanking you all. The music was sensational and all of our guests couldn't stop raving about you. It was such a nice touch to have a combination of classical and modern pieces played at our wedding. You have been fantastic. 
Nikki and Crawford 12th July"
"Hi Annemarie,We are just writing to express our deepest thanks for your lovelynperformance at our wedding ceremony at the Hill of Tarvit in Cupar on the 8th of August. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to you during the following drinks reception. We would like to wish you all the very best for future successes.
Kindest Regards
Justin & Jennifer"
"Hi girls, Just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at kibble palace on Saturday. I thought the place looked fab and it was great hearing our favourite elbow song. I just wish we had had longer to look around thanks again. hopefully see you soon at someone else's wedding
