The Swift String Quartet
We were absolutely delighted with the String Quartet who performed at my son’s wedding on Saturday. They kept in touch leading up to the day and were punctual and professional. But best of all, the music was beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. It was a fabulous day and their presence made it very special - everyone has commented. A very big thank you from us all.
