These are some of the comments that we have received.

 

From the first time we spoke on the telephone, your professionalism and calm approach was excellent…we thank you for all of your help and assistance in making this the perfect day for us…you understood and met our needs on the day brilliantly. Many of our guests complimented you on your wonderful playing and the song together with Albin worked wonderfully. Thank you once again for your excellent service and attention.

 

...our wedding at Kirtlington Park. We wanted to send you a big thank you for playing so beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the music was and in particular we were thrilled with your arrangement of "The very thought of you" - it worked brilliantly

 

My husband and i would like to say a very big thank you to your friends for playing at our wedding on Friday 17th July 2009 at the Bay Tree Hotel.  You were very professional and we couldn't fault any of the music played, it was perfect.  You made our day very magical, and everyone commented on how superb you were.

Could I thank you for playing so brilliantly at my daughter's wedding on Saturday and for recommending me to such wonderful singers.  I wish that I could have sat longer and listening to your beautiful playing instead of dashing round as a hostess.  Could you please also thank your colleagues and tell them how much I enjoyed your music.

We both wanted to send a massive thank you to your and your fellow musicians.  Without a doubt you played a huge part in making the day as special as it was.

 

Just a note to thank you and your players for your lovely music on Saturday - we really enjoyed listening to you - although the reception in Lincoln went past for us far too quickly!  We've received many compliments about your playing. 

 

Many, many guests commented on what a huge difference it made to the ambiance. This was perhaps best summed up by my daughter who turned to me whispered "Daddy, this is just perfect!"

 

Thank you ever so much for such a fine performance by your quartet yesterday. ... the director of the Jenner Institute, was particularly impressed by your playing. 

We would be very happy to recommend you to colleagues at the University for any other events. Thank you also for turning up so promptly and finding a last minute stand-in amidst snow chaos!

 

We thought you and the quartet were just wonderful and it was the PERFECT music for the ceremony and the drinks reception. Everyone commented on how beautifully you played and how perfect it was on the day. Thank you once again for being a part of our day!

 

We would both like to thank you for the lovely music you played at our wedding reception on 28th June 2008. It was really beautiful. Thank you for the nice selection. The Irish music was a lovely touch too - our Irish guests really appreciated it!

I just wanted to drop you a final note of thanks for all the time you took with us to make sure everything went perfectly for our wedding on the 4th September.  Despite being shuffled about a bit with the weather you and your colleagues coped brilliantly and were the perfect classy backdrop to the day we wanted.  The pieces you helped us select for the ceremony were perfect, the play list during the reception part caught the mood perfectly and throughout, you and your colleagues were discreet, professional and played to a very high standard. As for the "special arrangements" bit - I am so grateful for your help in making that work - and work so well.  Quite apart from locating Andrew for us and producing the string quartet arrangement (which I thought worked really well - what was Puccini thinking of?) you had clearly taken a lot of time to prepare both with your colleagues and with Andrew. We had a fantastic day and you were a major part of it.  Thank you.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 9th August. You were all amazing and made it the most special day of our lives. All of our guests commented on how elegant it made the day and we are just so pleased that we were able to share it with you.

 

Thank you again for playing at our wedding back in February at the Town Hall.  We both had a fantastic day and the music really added to the occasion - and everyone has said how much they enjoyed listening to you and the atmosphere the music helped create.

 

Thank you very much for your performance on Sunday at Temple Island. Your playing started our celebrations brilliantly and set the mood for what was a memorable day.

 

I’d like to thank you and the rest of the quartet for playing at Becki and Paul’s wedding. Everyone commented on how different it was to have “live” music playing and that the selection of pieces was most enjoyable.

 

We recently got married at the Bay Tree Hotel, Burford and arranged for the Cotswold Ensemble to play during the service, the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. What a fantastic decision!!! They were brilliant, playing a huge variety of different music. We had a number of special requests, and Fiona was a pleasure to deal with in arranging these. I can highly recommend having the theme from Star Wars at the end of the service - the arrangement was spot-on and got a big cheer from our guests! Fiona & her enthusiasm and The Cotswold Ensemble come highly recommended as a real special wedding day touch - Review posted on "Guides for Brides"

 

May I just express our many thanks for the lovely performance your quartet gave at Lains Barn on August 4th.  We had a fantastic day and the music helped it all seem perfect.

 

The music was wonderful!  Lots of people commented on it – and our ceremony was that extra bit special with your playing of the pieces we’d chosen.

 

This is to thank you all for your stunning music at Jenny’s wedding.  So many people commented on how much they enjoyed the quartet.

 

Thank you so very much for playing at our wedding in July.  We enjoyed the beautiful music immensely and were thrilled to receive compliments from our guests.

 

Thank you for playing for us on Saturday.  Having the music ‘live’ made a tremendous difference to the occasion and was enjoyed by everybody.  Unfortunately I have only one daughter so another wedding is unlikely. But should we need music on another occasion we shall certainly get in touch with you!

 

Thank you for the music – so many people commented on how good it was to hear live music – wonderful…

 

...Thank you – many people commented on the pleasure they had from the music.

 

Thank you for the lovely music on Sunday.  It made so much difference – a touch of class!

 

…I will always remember the music you played in the church, it really brought tears to my eyes.  Thanks again, we had a fantastic day.

 

It was truly marvellous to hear the ensemble perform so brilliantly.  Many thanks again.

 

...to thank you very much indeed for organising such exquisite music for our wedding, and at such very short notice.  The music you helped me choose was perfect – thank you again for your help.
