"Our experience through booking with Encore has been so smooth and easy. However Abigail made this booking even more perfect and made the process before the wedding stress free and easy. Abigail communicated with us superbly and granted every wish we had for our wedding ceremony. No song was too much and never made us feel like we were asking for too much. Would not think twice about booking Abigail as she was professional, kind and above all else a great violinist. Thank you again Abigail! "

"Brandi Paige was the consummate professional who performed beautifully. Her guitar and voice filled the room with love that produced smiles from everyone. I know some have fallen in love with her! This was my retirement party, and Brandi made it a very special one."

"It was a pleasure to meet you at Hillersdon House on Saturday 30 June and to hear you play at Kamilah and Martin's wedding.  Kamilah and I were sitting in the rowing boat our of sight at the end of the lake when Matt, the Best Man, called me to signal that everyone was in place.  That was my cue to start rowing towards the temple.  Before I dipped my oar into the water the sound of your harp; so pure and beautiful, reached our ears and it brought tears to my eyes and for a moment I felt choked and could not breathe.  It was a magical moment that I will never forget. Your playing enriched the occasion and was appreciated very much by all of us.  Thank you."

"Loved Michael and his selections. He was on time (even early), very talented and we enjoyed his music very much. Would not hesitate to hire him again."

"I first heard Urszula playing as a soloist in concert and was awestruck by her faultless execution and expression. Urszula is an outstanding cellist and as a teacher she has an approachable and warm personality, encouraging students to believe in their potential and teaching them techniques to make substantial progress. In my first lesson she de-constructed my bow hold and gave me exercises to develop a more natural position. Urszula is now teaching me techniques to improve tone before I tackle harder pieces. I highly recommend studying with her, whichever level you may be."

"Amazing musicians! Sue and Lloyd played at our wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast, they are simply amazing. We had classical music at the ceremony, and jazz/pop theme for wedding breakfast, Sue and Lloyd played beautifully – Lloyd is a multi-talent genius, he plays flute, clarinet and many other things! The duo worked perfectly – I wish I had recorded the whole performance! Sue has been really helpful since the beginning, sorting out the baby grand piano shell for the wedding, and helping us to choose the music, very kind! I love every part of my wedding, would say Sue and Lloyd’s music is one of the best parts! Thank you both so much for bringing us such beautiful music, I really appreciate it. Highly recommend Sue and Lloyd to everyone!"

"Can’t recommend this lovely young lady enough. She arrived & set up in plenty of time and with no fuss Such a very talented musician who set the mood beautifully & most of our guests were very surprised at catching themselves humming along to popular songs they would never of thought could be performed on a harp. She did have to travel quite a way for our wedding and I’m so very grateful to her for it because she exceeded my expectations. Thank you again Scarlett you helped in making our day so special ?"

"Cherry on top of the cake! Anastasia's music on violin and erhu was really the icing on the cake of our wedding. During the drinks, she played beautiful music, partly suggested by us and partly suggested by her. Especially the music piece on the erhu was very special, especially for the Chinese side of our family. If we ever have an anniversary or family celebration we would definitely ask Anastasia again. The contact before and during the wedding was also very pleasant, our niece of 6 years was even allowed to help prepare the strings of the violin. Thank you so much, Anastasia, we are really happy that you contributed to our beautiful day. Love, Ray & Iris"

"We had the Edelweiss Quartet perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they were also a dream to work with, so professional, kind, and accommodating. Less than a month before the big day, my husband and I decided to change our processional song to one that wasn’t on their original repertoire. Without hesitation, they learned it just for us, and nailed it. The moment that first note rang out as we walked down the aisle, we were both overwhelmed with emotion and chills. It was truly unforgettable. We’re so thankful we chose Edelweiss, having them there added a beautiful and personal touch to our day that we’ll never forget."

"I'm an architecture student and an 8th year long piano practiser. I begun taking piano lessons with Gabriel to brush up my skills and and to better understand music before pursuing a graduate degree into a French conservatory. Since the very first piano class with Gabriel, I became very enthusiastic about practicing and due to his patience and clarity to explain musical phrases, theory and interpretation rules, I started to feel and to understand better what I was playing. I warmly recommend Gabriel as a piano tutor to everyone willing to enrich his piano practice! His international experience as a pianist brings to his teaching methods a lot of patience and adaptability. During the classes, he is able to adjust our lessons to the level of instruction to meet our goals, and this, always by providing a positive and inspiring environment! I highly trust Gabriel's teaching process!"

"We had a wonderful birthday celebration, and Jim truly made the night unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make our day special. His talent as a guitarist is exceptional—both professional and passionate in every note. His beautiful Spanish guitar performance touched everyone’s hearts and had our guests dancing all night long. Jim was without a doubt the highlight of our event, and our friends are still talking about it! I would absolutely book Jim Oran again."
