London Event Planner
"We had Two Cellos play at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. Dan was incredibly helpful and professional and nothing was too much trouble. An example of this was when they learnt how to play one of the Star Wars tunes to play during the ceremony, which went down exceptionally well with all our guests. They were a great addition to our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
- Steph, bride
"Wow. We could not have asked for a better string group! You played beautifully!"
- Kirsty, bride

"One of the best things we did at our wedding was to hire the Stretto Quartet, not only are you wonderful musicians but you were so effortless and professional to deal with. With all the things involved in getting married it’s so nice to deal with people who just get it done (and get it done well!). The amount of people who commented how great you guys were was huge. We absolutely loved having you there. The music for both the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast was nothing but perfect. You truly set the tone for our memorable day and helped to make it such a perfect occasion. I can’t recommend you highly enough, if you want a quartet at your event then none other would be better than the Stretto Quartet."
- Paul, groom
"They were wonderful! We would recommend. They were very kind and easy to book, arrived early (as planned) to setup and made our event great with their wonderful music."
-Megan, client
"Dan and his team were a wonderful addition to our special day. Everything ran wonderfully well and our guests were thrilled with the selection of music chosen for the day. Stretto Quartet were extremely professional and leading up to the day, happily communicated with the Choir and Church, leaving my husband and I to focus on other things. Absolutely five star and highly recommended. Thanks again Dan."
- Renée, bride
"Dan was a pleasure to deal with - he even transcribed a piece of music special to us. Punctuality , appearance and musicianship excellent. Would rebook without hesitation."
- William, married 50 years

- Sarah, bride
"I booked Stretto Ensembles for my wedding and they did not disappoint. We had them play during the welcome drinks and the afternoon tea and so many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Dan who I corresponded with was professional, helpful and very prompt at replying."
- Kirstie, bride
"I just want to say thank you SO much for your performance on Friday! The string quartet was one of the best highlights of my wedding day. Everyone loved you so much - it was amazing! Especially Britney Spears and Smooth Criminal!!!"
-Christina, bride
"We worked with Stretto Quartet and would thoroughly recommend them for your wedding. They have a huge repertoire of classical and modern tracks that you can choose from to really carve out the vibe and personality you want for your day. They are also happy to consider other tracks and work with you to source other arrangements as you need. Dan was great at giving advice but also ensuring we made our own decision for the day as it was our wedding. Very easy to communicate with around the event logistics and payment as well. Overall a great experience!"
-Ellie, bride

"What can we say, “Thank you so much for your performance, it was all that we expected and so much more” We will recommend the “Stretto String Quartet” to all and have passed a few short videos on to others who weren’t present, their comments are delightful, thank you so much for making our special gathering a success with your presence."
-Andrew and Annie, Newly Married
"I'd like to thank you so much for playing on our big day. The music was exquisite and all of the guests were complimentary and several enquired about your group.
I'd like to also mention how positive the experience was not just on the day but also outside of it. From the Initial booking to the big day itself you were professional and proactive, taking a lot of the organisational pressure off me by presenting an easy to complete form with all of the essential information and listing out your requirements for the day along with arranging your own transport and sets.
On the day itself the quartet arrived early, were dressed impeccably and very professional setting up quietly and falling in with the timings of the day instinctively.
Thank you so much, your group are a joy to work with and I'd recommend anyone looking for an elegant strings band for their wedding or function to look no further than the stretto quartet."
-Ben, Groom
"Amazing. Would 100% recommend and would book again. Thanks for everything."

They did a fantastic job, both during the ceremony and the drinks reception, and we loved the mix of classical and contemporary music that they played. We also had a number of guests comment on how much they enjoyed the music and how good the players were."
- Laura, Bride
"Thank you so much for your beautiful playing at our wedding.
We were so impressed by your talent and professionalism.
When the wind kept blowing your stands over, you moved and carried on like true professionals. We wanted to just stand and watch you guys but we were too busy meeting and greeting, as is the way on your wedding day!
Your playing of the brides entrance made me cry like a baby because it was so beautiful!!"

Communication was brilliant throughout the build up to our wedding and after two postponements they were so accommodating. Thank you for being part of our day!"
- Ashleigh, bride
"The Stretto Quartet were fantastic. They made our wedding that extra bit special. So many people commented on how beautiful it was to come through to the reception area and hear the strings already playing. The band catered to our taste by playing more modern songs and some classical music which was great. Many of the guests loved the fact the songs were recognisable. They even played 'I believe in a thing called love' by The Darkness which was our Marryoke song! The band are professional, smart, fabulous musicians and a great bunch of people. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a string quartet. 5* service. A massive thanks to Dan and the band for your awesome music and for making our day even more brilliant!"
-Ritchie, Groom
"A brilliant and beautiful addition that made our day; thank you Stretto for helping to make our wedding perfect in every way!"
-Sheba, Bride
"The Stretto Ensembles were a wonderful addition to our wedding day. Super professional, and a pleasure to work with. They provided a great set list that we were able to pick from - just the right size: big enough to feel comprehensive, but without being too expansive that a classical novice like me would get lost with what to pick. For anything not on the list, they were able to acquire sheets for some music that we wanted. They were even able to put together a particular arrangement of a favourite piece of mine from a youtube video.
Super happy - I'd love to book them again for the anniversary in a few years' time!"
-David, groom
"Many many thanks to the brilliant cellists for playing at my sister and brother in law’s drinks reception on Sunday. They absolutely loved the playing and were so delighted with the surprise!

-Richard, groom
"Two cellos enhanced the whole experience and we were delighted when you played ‘Temple of Love’ on our entrance at the Vault. I think you played beautifully and our guests really enjoyed the whole experience, singing along to tunes they recognised, it was wonderful! So thank you very much for such a memorable happy time.
We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for style and sophistication."
-Rich, groom
"Thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday, I did not get the opportunity to speak with you before you left but your performance was exactly what we were hoping for and I had a number of people comment afterwards on how much they enjoyed your playing."
-Rachel, bride
"Two Cellos played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception last November. We were really impressed by the standard of the performance and the repertoire of songs. Having live music made the ceremony even more special, our guests really enjoyed it and we would certainly recommend."
-Dan, groom
"They were superb, worth every penny. My entrance piece was done to perfection and all my guests certainly thought "wow". They were a lovely touch to the wedding ceremony and they easily flowed with my chosen hymns to sing to."
