Columbine Hall, Suffolk
String Quartet, DJ with Sax & Violin - February 2020

“I wanted to say what a fantastic job Richard & the string quartet did at our wedding at Rugby, in August. There was a little issue with how long it took us to get down the aisle & turns out our registers weren’t ready, but Richard & the string quartet just carried on keeping the guests entertained. We have had many compliments about the quartet playing through the drinks reception as well. I also wanted to thank you for all the advice you gave Henry & I regarding picking the music for signing of the register and walking out of the church. Found you all incredibly easy to work with and very informative!” ...continue reading

Sunbeam Studios, London W10
String Quartet & DJ - May 2018

“Just to let you know that the L’Inviti Quartet did us proud on Saturday. Several wedding guests mentioned what a lovely touch it was to have live music during the ceremony. Special thanks to the musicians for preparing and playing ‘No Woman No Cry’. The evening band also covered this classic so we were all dancing to it later. One thing that made the music really special for us was the reaction of the bride’s great grandmother who is now 93 and not in the best of health.  She responded immediately to the music and we feel that it helped her connect to the whole event.  She was able to stay for the whole day and was one of the first on the dance floor during the evening.  Such is the power of music. The quartet members were prompt, well turned out and played beautifully.  I am sorry that I did not wish them farewell but I had had a chance to thank them just before they completed their set. Once again, thank you for all your help.  I hope that the Wedding Music Company keeps going for at least another 20 years.” NB: Testimonial written by the bride’s aunt, who booked us, having had us at her wedding 20 years ago. ...continue reading

Wedding at Minstrel Court, Royston, Hertfordshire
String Quartet - March 2018

“Apologies that it has taken so long to send our thanks to the musicians for Rebecca and James’ Wedding in June. Against what may have been adverse conditions, the Quartet did an excellent job out on the lawn during the ceremony. After the ceremony they carried on in the Long Gallery where mingling guests were able to enjoy the music. The whole day passed in the blink of an eye but everyone had the best time we could have ever hoped for. So please pass on our regards and thanks to the musicians, they did a great job.” ...continue reading
