Amazing music

5 stars - Gold Strings are Highly Recommended
booked Gold Strings for their Wedding in Oxfordshire

“Really professional, nice and fantastic musicians. Absolutely no regrets.”


Best musical group we’ve had in a long time

5 stars - Gold Strings are Highly Recommended
booked Gold Strings for their event in Hampshire

“Sadly I had to miss the concert due to Covid. However the feedback from the audience was that Gold Strings were the best group the club have had in a very long time. They were engaging and totally together and didn’t mind the fact that the auditorium was only about one third full. Their programme of music was superb and met everyone’s expectations and more. A truly memorable and wonderful performance. Thank you so much.”


Excellent and professional

5 stars - Gold Strings are Highly Recommended
booked Gold Strings for their Wedding in Cambridgeshire

“We were impressed by the ease of communication with Gold Strings, their performance, and the breadth of their repertoire. Our guests loved the performance, and the wedding organisers complimented them on how pleasant they were. They were very flexible on the wedding day itself (we made some last-minute changes to the repertoire because a few things were delayed on the day). I would recommend Gold Strings to anybody looking for a string quartet for a wedding.”


They added something very special to our day

5 stars - Gold Strings are Highly Recommended
booked Gold Strings for their Wedding in Oxfordshire

“The artists are just all extremely talented. We asked them to perform at our wedding during both ceremonies (we had a civil part and a church blessing) as well as during the wedding breakfast. We got lots of comments on the quality of the songs they were performing and people were particularly fond of newer hits being played on strings. I also liked that they seemed to have tuned the sound level according to the event (tuned it up for the ceremony and down for the meal). I had not even thought of that but it was of course ideal for everyone to enjoy themselves during the meal as well.”

booked Gold Strings for their Wedding at St Michael's Manor Hotel in Hertfordshire

“We were so thrilled to have Gold Strings play on our Wedding Day, they exceeded all of our expectations and were truly amazing, our guests who some of them are musicians themselves, commented on how fantastic they were and the selection of Music they played for our Wedding reception created the perfect ambience. I cannot recommend Gold Strings enough, if you are looking for quality, class and to wow your guests then you won’t be disappointed. Thank you very much.  Charlotte and Henry ”
