Testimonials
"Gail and I just had to make the effort to say a BIG 'thank you' to you and the team for adding the most lovely ambience to our wedding day.
As you could see for your self, the venue suited your music and created a combined charm for all our guests.
No one had any idea this was to happen, and Gail told me later that she was fine and composed, until she heard you playning Corelli, and she said ..."it was so beautiful and emotional, I started to cry".
So thank you all once again, and we sincerely hope that you also enjoyed the day.
Every Best Wish, and I've no doubt we'll be meeting again!"
Rod and Gail, Rochdale Town Hall, July 2012
"Hi Amy it's Rebecca and Lee from the savoy wedding. We are sorry we didn't get chance to thank you all, everyone loved your music and thought you all played beautifully. We are very grateful so thank you again."

"Hi Amy, just wanted to say a big thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding on Sunday. Our guests loved the music and you all really helped create a magical ambience."
Nitu and Bernard, Blenheim Palace, July 2012
"A very quick note to say the quartet you organised at short notice for our wedding day were perfect. The team were great fun and played beautifully. I did speak to them before they left, but please pass on our thanks once again and a very big thank you to you too for finding them and making the booking process so easy. I’ll keep you details and more than happy to recommend."
Russ and Kia, Rowton Castle, July 2012
"We engaged The Lancashire String Quartet to play at a National Trust donor event at Lyme Park this autumn. From an event coordinators perspective I would like to highlight how easy and accommodating the quartet were to deal with before the event. They were keen to understand the purpose of the evening and interpreted our requirements very well on the night. The quartet played with real character and our guests commented through out the evening on how much they enjoyed the music and that it really enhanced their experience of the setting. We will definitely be using them for future events at National Trust properties."

Stunning Performance from the Lancashire String Quartet!
Jack B booked The Lancashire String Quartet for their Wedding in Lancashire • October 2024
“We had the Lancashire String Quartet play at our wedding, and their performance added a beautiful and elegant touch to our day. The quality of their music was fantastic, and they created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and reception. Many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the music and how it made the day feel even more special. We couldn’t have asked for better and would gladly hire them again. Highly recommended!”
Best ceremony and drinks reception music
Olivia F booked The Lancashire String Quartet for their Wedding in Lancashire • June 2024
“The Lancashire string Quartet played during my ceremony and performed my dream song ‘sleeping at last - turning page’ as I walked down the aisle. They had a long list of different genres of music that we could incorporate into our day which I loved!”
Beautiful music throughout our ceremony
Jessica B booked The Lancashire String Quartet for their Wedding in Cheshire
“The atmosphere was so beautiful, the music was gorgeous. Such talented artists, our guests commented so frequently on how beautiful it really was. Thank you for contributing to our magical day. I’ll never forget waiting to walk down the isle and listening to “waterfall” by the stone roses being played.”
Elle S booked The Lancashire String Quartet for their Wedding in Greater Manchester
“The quartet were absolutely wonderful! They added a really classy ambience to my wedding and there were so many wonderful comments about the quartet. The only tiny thing is that my walking down the aisle wasn't played but this could be a communication issue either the venue.”
