Manchester Strings were fantastic. They were very professional and created the most perfect atmosphere for our daughters wedding, sounding amazing. My daughter and son-in-law are really into movies and the music associated with them and thus we choose lots of movie tracks which kept our guests guessing the movie as they played! They helped create a most memorable day which we will be talking about for many months.
