Beautiful playing
Just a quick email to thank you for your beautiful playing at our wedding. I didn't get chance to speak to you but many of my guests said how lovely and how well you played and they really enjoyed it.
Many thanks again.

Perfection
Martyn and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for your beautiful playing on Saturday. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more. The sound of the strings in that room was perfection. Many of our guests also commented on how wonderful you were.
Thank you again!

Would definitely recommend!
Saffron Strings duo, Lorraine and Rachel, played beautifully at our outdoor ceremony and reception in August for our wedding! We picked a film soundtrack theme which they embraced with open arms and learnt a few new songs for us! They suggested some wonderful songs for my entrance and our exit as newly weds, and were always quick to reply. Would definitely recommend!

Nailed it!
On behalf of my wife and I, we just wanted to thank Saffron Strings for absolutely nailing the music on our day. The Stand By Me entrance music was perfect. We obviously had a lot to take in, but watching back various videos, it's the icing on the cake! We've also had various guest compliments on the quality of the string music (Game of Thrones was particularly popular!).
Assuming we don't have to book ourselves another wedding, we would definitely recommend you to friends and family!
Once again, thank you from both us, you helped make our day unforgettable!
Kind regards,
Iain and Vicky

Just beautiful
David and I wanted to say a massive thank you to you for playing beautifully at our wedding on Saturday. It sounded great and we had a number of our guests comment on what an amazing string quartet we had.
The entrance song made me cry - even when walking down the aisle - as it was just beautiful!
Thanks for being part of our special day.
