TESTIMONIALS:

“We just wanted to express our sincerest thanks for playing so beautifully at our wedding. When we first saw your video online, I got that special, magical tingle. Hearing that one piece, which just happens to be my favourite, blew the competition out of the running. We loved the fusion of classical, pop, show tunes and the little quirky pieces – ‘Let’s Go Fly A Kite’ went down a storm. Again, thank you all for making our wedding day truly memorable, to us and all our guests – you were perfect!”
G&P – Wedding at The Crown Inn, Amersham
“Thank you for playing at our wedding at Saint Paul’s Church, Chipperfield. Your beautiful sound created a magical and very special ambiance in the church which many of our guests commented on.”
B&D, Wedding at St. Pauls Church, Chipperfield
