TESTIMONIALS

December 2023

Jane H

Absolutely wonderful! We booked the Element Quartet for our festive December wedding and we’re so happy we did. They took the time to find extra music so they could play our special requests - including some lovely Disney songs for the kids (who loved dancing to them!) - and it was so special to hear them playing when we arrived at our reception venue. From Christmas carols to film, jazz and modern covers they played everything beautifully and helped to create such a special atmosphere. So many guests commented on how good the music was. Definitely one of our wedding highlights and we’d highly recommend them to others. Thank you again!

Flo & Hugo

The Element String quartet played at our wedding recently and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were brilliant from initial contact through to the day itself. They played modern music in the classical style and it was absolutely perfect for our afternoon wedding reception. Thank you again for helping make the day so special.

I had firstly come across Element String at my friend's wedding last year and loved them that much I booked them for my wedding... I wanted a specific song to walk down the aisle to which was no problem for them at all, they let me select all the songs I like to be played from their song lists on their website across a few genres and they didn't disappoint! I would highly recommend them and would book them again for future events... A few of my friends who are due to be married have requested their details from me...

We are so glad we booked the element string trio for our wedding in May. Caroline and the other musicians played so beautifully during our church service and also played some more upbeat tunes at our drinks reception. Lots of our guests commented on the music which we were really pleased with.

Element String Quartet played at my 30th birthday party. They were extremely helpful and gave me several options when booking. I ended up booking the quartet over the trio. On the night they were on time and very polite. They were incredible all evening, all of my guest's were extremely impressed and I'd definitely book them again for similar events or weddings. I couldn't recommend them more.

I had always wished for String Quartet at my wedding and the Element String Quartet were fantastic! Wonderful playing of pieces chosen from their extensive repertoire. Also arranged a few pieces from The Pirates of Penzance for our piratical themed wedding which were fantastic! Wonderful to have as part of our reception whilst everyone was eating! Thank you very much to the Element String Quartet - you helped make my dreams come true! 🎻😃❤️

Liz & Dan

We were thrilled with the beautiful ambiance created with involving live music in our wedding. Having the Element Strings Duo for three hours, for our 3PM ceremony, worked perfectly as they continued to play during our drinks reception. Element Strings were professional, adaptable, responsive and considerate when we rescheduled our wedding and throughout. We were very impressed by the expansive repertoire on offer, and the flexibility to add additional music if required. This took the stress of playlist selection out of the day, as we relied on Element Strings’ knowledge of what would work well. We would highly recommend Element Strings to anyone looking to include beautiful string music in whatever the occasion.

Catherine & Shane

Thank you so much for playing for us at our wedding, you were absolutely fantastic and exceeded everything we had hoped for. Listening to you play was exactly what we had dreamed of for our wedding day and we had so many comments from our guests too about how amazing the music was, both at the Church and at the reception venue. I’d also like to thank you for making the communication leading up to the wedding so easy, Luke was very friendly, quick to respond and couldn’t have been more helpful. If I get the opportunity to hire a quartet again I will most definitely be choosing Element Strings, and will be sure to recommend you to everyone I know. Best wishes, Catherine & Shane xx

I would highly recomend! I booked them for an engagement dinner and they took good care of us to try and accommodate us in every possible way during such a hectic and busy time. They went above and beyond their call of duty and made sure that we were in the loop throughout, I shall most certainly be booking them for the big day!

Shireen

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Caroline and her equally talented trio.... These guys played at our wedding in March 2019 and they were amazing. Excelled our expectations & were truly exceptional. Not only did they make themselves available at 6 weeks notice but also agreed to a Persian music arrangement... I loved their ‘nothing is too much trouble attitude’ and it really made our ceremony special and memorable to us and our guests. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending them. Shireen & Phill

The Element String Trio were absolutely amazing. I had them for my wedding and they can not be faulted. My wedding ran late due to traffic but they were more than happy to stay on later and were just so lovely. Everyone commented on how beautiful they sounded. They got in extra songs that I requested (even if I did leave it till last minute) thank you so much guys, you were truly amazing. I recommend to everyone to use The Element string quartet and trio.

Paul and Elena

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. As I said to yourself and the rest of your quartet, you were one of the primary elements we wanted in our wedding and you were amazing! Church, venue, The Element Strings. Only then did we book them all and let the other part fall into place. You are all superb musicians and thank you again for being part of our special day.

Clare and Charlie

Element Trio performed at our wedding in August 2022. The trio performed for an hour is the blazing heat, creating a lovely atmosphere with modern songs we'd chosen from their repertoire. I asked for Bridgerton and they delivered. Many guests commented on what a delightful addition they were to the day. SImilarly, Luke took to the piano during our evening drinks reception, after the wedding breakfast. Subtle and smooth, he added warmth to the welcome and created a relaxed atmosphere for a wonderful evening.

July 2022

Julia and Tomer

Hi Caroline and Luke, we wanted to drop you this short note for one simple reason - to thank you so much not just for being so professional - but also for helping to create such a wonderful day for us. We know that our dealings go back several months, as we worked out our way through musical preferences, sheet music for Siman Tov Mazal Tov, etc. Everything seemed to fall into place seamlessly. On top of that, you were so lovely to deal with both in the run-up to the wedding and on the Sunday itself too. It was also very kind of you to send a congratulatory wedding card which was very much appreciated. With renewed thanks and kindest regards from our new home.

Dominic

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! We booked the Element String Trio for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and we could not recommend them enough. The atmosphere created by the trio was sensational, which added massively to our special day. They were extremely helpful and communicative leading up to the day, which made everything so easy for us. If you are looking for a string band for your wedding/event then look no further as they were absolutely fantastic!

Abi

We could not recommend The Element String Quartet enough. We had them for our wedding and from the first point of contact they were fabulous. We unfortunately had to reschedule due to COVID and they very kindly and professionally dealt with the situation, leaving us feeling a lot less stressed. We had regular contact and updates throughout the process, and you did not feel like just another booking. We wanted a particular song playing that they very kindly learnt again with no hesitation. On the day was pure perfection and from the bottom of my heart cannot thank them enough. If you are thinking of having a string quartet/trio or duo, you honestly will not be disappointed. Such a wonderful team. xxx

Lara S

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful music that you provided at our wedding. I am very picky about music, having played throughout my childhood, but you surpassed all of my expectations. The music - the variety and exquisite performing were just perfect, and everyone commented on how fantastic the quartet was.

Janet T

Dear Caroline, Thank you so much for the part the trio played in making Rosie and Matt's wedding the wonderful occasion it was. You created a lovely atmosphere in the church and the music was commented on by many people. From the outset you have been so approachable and easy to talk to. I can recommend you wholeheartedly and will definitely ask you to play again! Best wishes, Janet

The Element Duo were the perfect addition to a 70th birthday afternoon tea we hosted in our garden. They played a brilliant mix of jazz, classical and popular music which all the guests enjoyed. Luke and Caroline were lovely; a pleasure to deal with before and during the event. Having the Duo play at the party made it all the more special.

Great String Duo! We recently booked The Element for our wedding ceremony & reception, and having them on the day was one of the best decisions we’ve made. We received so many compliments from our guests. The repertoire was so beautiful and our bespoke entrance / exit music pieces were so well played and so on time. They were professional, reliable and fit in the day so well - absolutely wonderful performance - thanks so much for helping us to create our dream wedding. Will definitely use again for future events.

Laxmi

I Chose Caroline and team to play at our wedding ceremony, and certainly wasn’t disappointed. From start to finish, it was an absolute joy. It’s always been my dream to have music from beauty and the beast play at my wedding - and thanks to Element it happened! I walked down the aisle to Tale as old as Time, and signed the register to the prologue music from the same film. It was everything I imagined, plus a hundred times more. 
Thank you so much for all your hard work, and for going the extra mile to give me exactly the songs I wanted. You were a crowd favourite and we’ve had nothing but compliments since the big day. We can’t wait to use you again and are hoping for another special occasion soon, you’ll be first on our list of people to book!

Courtney

To say The Element exceeded our expectations is an understatement! From the communication beforehand in helping to decide what music to play to their punctuality on the day and how wonderful the music sounded I would not hesitate to recommend the Element to anyone looking for a string quartet for their wedding. Caroline, thank you so much once again for playing such a part in helping to make our day as special as it was.

Element were a dream to work with for my father's surprise 60th. I chose them because of the repertoire and yet when I requested a song that was not on the song list they were quick to put it together just for our event. On the night, they slipped in amidst the chaos of 120 people, they prepared and were ready to play. The schedule had to be changed a few times on the night and they were flexible and professional throughout...and then they played. It was beautiful. One of my Uncles stood up involuntarily during Nessun Dorma to look closer and my father repeatedly leant over the dinner table to remark on how wonderfully they played. I could not recommend the Element string Quartet highly enough, but I will certainly try!

Cara

An exquisite trio and I would highly recommend using them. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and they were even able to create an arrangement for us from an unpublished piece of music. They really made the ambiance of our wedding to what we wanted.

I can't thank Caroline enough for performing at our wedding.

I cannot recommend Element Strings highly enough. We had them perform during our wedding ceremony/reception drinks and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish.

John

Caroline and the team were utterly immense throughout the whole process of planning and performing my stepfather’s funeral. Caroline called me personally to start the conversation about arrangements and within 1 minute I knew we were in safe hands. She and the Quartet were accommodating, sympathetic, and had solutions to all of the issues we encountered. From their early arrival, rehearsal and elegant performance through the service, they were all utterly impeccable. People attend services to listen to the words, but they remember the music; their music was beautiful. Thank you Element String Quartet for easing us all through a very hard day.

The Element String Trio played for an hour during our wedding reception and were brilliant. Really great at communicating from the outset and their choice of songs was perfect for our occasion. Would definitely recommend and hire them again.

A huge, huge thank you to you & your quartet for playing at our wedding. You were fabulous. Having you play at our day made it extra special. The pieces you played for our ceremony made us both feel so emotional, as I am sure you saw and I keep seeing the image in my mind of you playing in the garden under the trees and it brings tears to my eyes.

We couldn’t recommend the Element String Trio enough. They played at our wedding reception at Kings College in Cambridge and were absolutely fantastic. The array of music they played suited everyone, from classical to more contemporary and the children absolutely loved it, dancing away. We booked 3 hours during our canapés and meal and they just brought the rooms to life. From the moment I was in touch with Caroline, the whole process has been simple and easy, and it was such a pleasure meeting them all on the day. Thank you for making our wedding so special.

We had a fantastic experience, in the run up to the big day they were brilliant, provided a great list of songs to choose from and even managed to get songs which weren't on the list. They were so professional on the big day, they were at the church early, already had things ready to go and played wonderful music. We couldn't have asked for a better service and would highly recommend. A big thank you to Element string duo whom helped to make our wedding day special.

Well what can I say, this group was absolutely incredible. I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect accompaniment to our afternoon tea on our wedding day.

Thank you so so much for playing for us on the 29th. You were amazing!!! Everyone was so impressed by you. The beauty and the beast prologue music nearly had me in tears and I’ve had a few people tell me that hearing you play made them feel very emotional! Thank you for your part in making our day so special! Can’t wait to use you again one day soon!

October 2017

The Element String Trio were excellent, they stepped in literally 24 hours before our wedding when the booked trio had to cancel. They even managed to learn a new arrangement overnight for us as our entrance song was not in their repertoire. They were on time professional and played beautifully. The songs were perfect, would highly recommend this trio for any occasion. THANK YOU Element String Quartet and Trio.
