Kate B booked The Baker Street String Quartet for their Wedding in Devon • June 2024
“The Baker Street Quartet really made a great difference to our outdoor ceremony and post ceremony drinks. They made for a great atmosphere and played well. They were very good at settling in and just getting on with their brief! Would book them again!”
Timeless elegance and classic rock!
Lauren F booked The Baker Street String Quartet for their Wedding in Wiltshire • October 2023
“Thank you again to the Baker Street String Quartet, whose music added an exquisite touch to our wedding day. Their performance was nothing short of magical – a testament to the talent and passion of each member of the quartet. The quartet's repertoire was not only diverse but also beautifully executed. Our guests were captivated by their string renditions of classic rock songs, infusing a modern and unexpected twist into the traditional grace of a string quartet. One of the standout moments was their rendition of our special request song, "Cosmic Love," which they played with such emotion, making our walk up and down the aisle truly enchanting. The Baker Street String Quartet not only met but exceeded our expectations, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance and joy. We are immensely grateful for the indelible mark they left on our special day and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a musical experience that transcends the ordinary.”
Absolute perfection! They were utterly brilliant.
Matthew A booked The Baker Street String Quartet for their Wedding in Somerset
“My wife and I had heard The Baker String Quartet play at a friend's wedding a few years ago and we said then that they really added something extra special to the day. Fast forward 3 years and we were right. They played (at our request) classical versions of a lot of modern songs which became a real talking point for our guests. Many of them were trying guess what each new song played was before the next on the their tables. For us, sadly, we didn't get to enjoy half of their performance because of have photos taken, but each time we'd walk through the rooms and catch a small clip of a different song it would make us smile. They were just brilliant and would have no hesitation in recommending them and indeed booking them again.”
A stunning performance! Would definitely hire again!
