The Birmingham String Quartet - String Quartet & Trio Feedback
“The guys were great, we were really pleased and they added a lovely Xmas ambience to the event.
Smooth process throughout - thanks!

“I was really happy with the whole process. It was very reassuring to know the booking was made with a well established company. The act was very prompt and helped me out with a special request for a particular song that I needed. They were very presentable and the feedback from guests was extremely positive. During the event, we moved outside for photos and the act were able to move location to support with background music. All in all, a fantastic day and the quartet were truly a pleasure to listen to. I would not hesitate to book them again or recommend them to anyone.
