"“We wanted to write to thank you for the fantastic music that you provided for our wedding ceremony at Woburn Abbey. Your performances were outstanding and everybody mentioned how superb you were. We were extremely impressed by your lengthy repertoire, which allowed us to choose the perfect music not only for our ceremony but also for the drinks outside in the gardens and the Safari Lodge. "

"Thank you all for your coming to Hampstead House and performing for us, I thought you played beautifully and for me it really made the day special. I just wished I could have stood and listened to you a bit more instead of having to chat and have my picture taken! A lot of people commented on how good you were."
