What Our Clients Say

Having you play at the ceremony was really special and something we’ll remember forever, it really made it all even more amazing.

Thank you for playing so beautifully during my wedding at Wylam Brewery on Saturday. I didn’t have to worry about anything as you were all very organised and many of the guests commented on the fabulous live music before, during and after the ceremony. It was only unfortunate I, myself, didn’t have the opportunity to hear you during the fifteen minutes before the ceremony before I entered the space. The Pachelbel piece you played as I walked down the aisle was played absolutely beautifully, as were the songs we chose to follow. A very professional and memorable part of our wedding day. Thanks again.

Massive thank you for making our wedding so special, even down to being very friendly with allowing my two year old to try the violin. I really can't thank you enough.

The Classical Café concert was a fabulous event for families. The quartet were excellent all round – the music was great and well-pitched for younger audiences, and they interacted well with the little ones too, even happy to let the children come up at the end and see the instruments. They were informal and relaxed yet professional at the same time, we will definitely have them back!

I just wanted to pass on my compliments to the quartet last week. They were amazing and true professionals, arrived on time, set up quickly and just got on with their job…entertaining us all!

The only regret we have about Aurora Strings is that we didn't book them for longer! We and all of our guests did not want them to leave (and may or may not have chanted "one more song" more than once!). Aurora Strings are so talented and their beautiful music filled Ellingham Hall with such a goosebump-inducing atmosphere during our ceremony and drinks reception. They also kindly went along with our slightly obscure plan to sneak them in the back to surprise our guests which worked a treat! Thank you so much! You will forever be one of our most favourite wedding memories.

I just wanted to thank you and the musicians who played at our wedding, it was fantastic, we got so many compliments about the quartet throughout the day. Thank you very much!! I was wondering if I could get a copy of the sheet music for Wish Fulfilment, Mark was absolutely bowled over by it, so we would like a momento to keep.

A huge thank you to all the members of Aurora Strings for playing so beautifully at our wedding at Charlton Hall in August.

I'd also like to apologise for arriving so late, you went above and beyond by playing for so long, you really entertained everyone and couldn't have done anymore for us. We've just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say a big thank you for all of your hard work, what a talent you all have, we couldn't have wished for anything better.

You really made the service with the beautiful music. All the guests commented on how lovely the quartet was and the music managed to make a few people teary which is always a good sign. You were really fantastic and it really made my day walking down the aisle to ‘Canon in D’. You made a dream come true and it will last forever.

Both my wife and I, as well as a large section of the wedding party are professional musicians, so we are probably more critical than the average wedding guest - I thought they sounded beautiful and I had many musician friends say how good they thought they were.

Your music in the service and at the reception drinks was stunning and certainly added a great deal to our special day.

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for being part of our wedding at Brinkburn Priory in August. Your music at the service and reception drinks was stunning and certainly added a great deal to our special day.

You did such an amazing job and it added so much to the ceremony and drink reception to have your extraordinary playing as part of it. I noticed that you did keep moving around for us and came down onto the lawn which was fabulous. We're slowly catching up with all the guests and so many are commenting on how fabulous you were and how much it added to their enjoyment so very many thanks. For me personally, the moment Dad and I stepped out from "the secret door" into the drawing room to hear you playing Flower Song and see the radiant faces of loved ones was a wonderful rush of happiness that will stay with me forever.

Thank you so much for the fantastic music you played for our wedding on the 19.04.14 at Woodhill Hall. It was beautiful to hear and we loved all the songs you played.

The quartet was absolutely wonderful. Made our evening! Thanks so much.

I wanted to thank you for your beautiful music. It was simply spot-on and the most perfect selection you offered to frame our ceremony. I'm just disappointed that, getting ready upstairs, I missed out on most of it! We selected Nimrod as I waited at the top of the staircase and then Canon for walking down. The atmosphere it created was so charged - it was simply magical. We so appreciate your making such captivating music a part of our special day!

We just wanted to thank you on an enormous scale. You and your fellow strings were absolutely fantastic! You were so professional when the bride was delayed which was admired by the registrar and my party. We wish you all the best for the future. Thanks for making our day truly memorable.
