Caroline Nice, Wedding Event, Hampshire
Dear Tracey, My apologies for not replying sooner. We were absolutely delighted with The Essex String Quartet. I've mailed Helen directly on 15th May with our sincere thanks for making Lauren and Jason's day so special. We were able to keep the quartet a surprise for Lauren which was fantastic, she was thrilled. Jenny, the vicar, allowed The Essex String Quartet to set up at the front of the church in full view of Lauren as she arrived with her dad truly a magical moment. You were always prompt to reply to any queries. The Essex String Quartet more than lived up to our expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending them to any future customers. Many thanks for all your help over the past few months.
Mark and Kate Stevens – Wedding
Mark and I wanted to thank you for making our wedding on Sunday 16th September at Braxted Park Estate such a huge success; we have such fantastic memories of the day. We had many people comment on the music especially the wedding march when I walked down the aisle which they played beautifully… it’s a pity it was so windy but they managed to play on in such difficult circumstances. Thank you again for everything – the day was definitely a magical one for the both of us.
G. Matthews and Claire Gilbert- Once Upon A Time Ball
We would like to take this opportunity to thanks you and your colleagues for the service provided for us in relation to the above event. The beautiful classical music played throughout the evening, created the perfect ambience for our event, set to the backdrop of an amazing venue. You helped us to create the wow factor we were looking for. Thank you once again.
The Essex String Quartet has a number of residencies, including stock brook manor in Billericay, and Three Rivers Golf and Country Club in Cold Norton.
The Essex String Quartet’s extensive and varied repertoire ranges from classics such as Pachelbel’s Canon through to songs from the artists of today.
If your venue is more intimate, however, you may like to book the girls as a duo or trio as this works excellently in smaller spaces. Alternatively, The Essex String Quartet is also available as a full all – girl string orchestra, which creates a stunning effect for any function.
