CLIENT TESTIMONIALS: "Hi Katrina, thanks for your note. We have just got back from our honeymoon which was fantastic!
We wanted to let you know that you guys did a great job and we had
numerous people commenting on how lovely the music was. Thankyou for
being a wonderful part of our wedding day.
Cheers, Richard & Lisa"
"Hi Katrina,
Firstly we would like to thank you and your fellow musicians for
providing such beautiful music at our wedding on Sunday 20th March. It
was a shame that we never actually had the opportunity to meet you, and
for that we apologise, but it was a bit crazy with all the goings on on
the day.
We have received so many comments about the music that you played during
the service from our family and friends alike. They have all said that
the music \'made the day complete\', so for this we would like to say a
big thank you.
We will be able to recommend your quartet with the greatest of
confidence to our friends if they require such music for their weddings
or special occasions.
Again our sincere thanks to you all for such beautiful music that we will remember forever.
Kind regards,
Grant & Angela
