Sapphire Electric Trio
"Could not fault them. Played incredibly at our event and our guests couldn't stop talking about them! We coordinated closely in the run up to the event and they delivered exactly the atmosphere we were looking for. Would 100% recommend!"
London String Quartet "Kara Strings"
"Amazing performance from a lovely string quartet!👏"
London Two Cellos
"We booked London Two Cellos for a short performance at our wedding, and they were amazing. The music was beautiful, elegant, and created such a romantic atmosphere. Even with a shorter set, they made a big impact and our guests loved it. Professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with — highly recommended!"
Zukira Duo
"Hi Abbie and Gavie,
I want to thank you both so much for being absolutely amazing at Ellie and Charlie’s wedding on Sunday. You played so beautifully and created such a wonderful atmosphere. It could not have been more perfect. When I heard you on Radio London, all that time ago, I knew that I wanted you to play at Ellie’s wedding. Well, how right I was. I can’t imagine anything better.
I’m only sorry that I didn’t get a chance to have a chat with you on the day. It’s remarkably hectic being mother-of-the-bride! I hope that you were well looked after and managed to get something to eat.
The rest of the wedding was equally wonderful and we are all still floating on air.
Many thanks again for making the wedding so special."
Frank - Cellist
"Frantisek is brilliant on all levels. Highest class performer and arranger, thoughtful, generous and extremely talented musician. He made our ceremony unforgettable. Thank you again, Frantisek!"
Petford Ensemble
"We recently hired Petford Ensemble for an event and were incredibly impressed with their performance. The music was a perfect blend of classics and modern takes, reminiscent of the soundtracks from Bridgerton! We can't thank them enough for adding such a magical touch to our event. We will definitely be booking them for future events and highly recommend them to others."
