Based on our suggested package. Excludes mileage.Thank you to Ariella Strings for playing at our wedding at Luton Hoo. They worked closely with us to play the perfect music before and during our ceremony. The jukebox list meant they had lots of fun interacting with our guests during the drinks reception. There was a great atmosphere and we even think their playing encouraged the sun to come out! Really lovely people and we are so happy they were part of our day!
Many thanks Kate and Laurence

When we started planning our wedding, we knew that we wanted some live music to be played during our ceremony and drinks reception - and after hearing Ariella Strings play at an open evening at Dodmoor House we were hooked! Not only did Cheryl and John help us in so many ways with our music choices, their music was simply stunning AND they were the NICEST people (that is no exaggeration!) All of our guests commented on how beautiful their music was, and I absolutely loved walking down the aisle hearing it! We will remember you all forever! Thank you so so much! Xxxx

Dear Cheryl
I’m just back off my honeymoon, and wanted to take a few minutes to email and say thank you for performing at our wedding. I can’t even begin to describe how happy we were, the only downside was I only got to hear a few songs! The Darkness song was amazing, I kept trying to slow Kris down so I could hear more of it! Everyone said how amazing it was to have the songs we had, and people are saying it made the service even more fantastic. I got to head bang to Queen whilst signing the register, who can say that about their wedding day!?
It set the tone for a fantastic day, and I’m so happy with how it went!
My only regret is that I was so overwhelmed I didn’t get to thank you in person, so thank you all so much!
Thank you!

Thank you so much to Cheryl and John for being so amazing in the run up to our wedding. We absolutely loved Ariella Strings when they were recommended to us from Dodmoor House. Cheryl and the girls were absolutely amazing on the day and we have had many lovely comments about the music played in the ceremony and during our drinks reception. My husband and I would love to thank the team for making our day even more
Magical! Xx

Hi there, we had to write and say thank you so much for playing so beautifully at our wedding at Rushton Hall on 11th August. The ambience that was created was just as I wanted it to be. My only regret is that we couldn't appreciate you more in the courtyard as we had to go down to the lake for photos.
We had lots of positive feedback from our guests. So thank you again for your friendly and professional service and helping to make our wedding extra special.
We wish Ariella Strings all the very best for the future.
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation

We first met Cheryl and John at an open evening at our wedding venue, Dodmoor House. They were so friendly and played beautifully. We knew straight away we needed to have them for our special day. They played for us for two hours on our wedding day on 18th August (coincidentally their wedding anniversary also!) and they were just amazing. We thank you both so much for being a part of our special day. Love Daz and Alex xxx

We had Ariella string trio play during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception earlier this month. They had a huge repertoire of pop, rock and classical string music and really added that something special to our day. Cheryl and John were really helpful, friendly and accommodating also - I highly recommend them. Thank you!

We first heard Ariella Strings play at a Wrest Park wedding presentation in 2016. The beautiful classical music had us rooted to the spot and we couldn’t tear ourselves away. Offering our compliments, we got talking and were asked if we had a favourite piece of music which Cheryl and John promptly played for us. We were so impressed by their talent, friendliness and spontaneity that we booked them on the spot. All through the planning process we received support, ideas and even a home visit during which we spent a pleasant evening confirming the playing order of a mix of classical, jazz and pop music. John even composed a bridal entrance piece for the trio version of Ariella Strings based on a particularly favourite piece of music from the opening scene of The Italian Job. That additional work for John was offered as a wedding gift to us – an act of generosity that we were overwhelmed by. One of the most memorable moments of our wedding was hearing that composition as I started my walk up the aisle and realising that this was just the beginning of our special day. The way our guests could choose their particular favourites for the drinks reception made them feel part of the planning of the day and created a lovely interaction between them and Ariella Strings. Family and friends travelled from all over the world spanning 10 to 94 years in age, yet all of them complimented the musical talent and friendliness of Ariella Strings and have talked about how the music created such a beautiful atmosphere that helped make the day memorable for them. I can only add that they made our wedding memorable as well as for us too. We cannot recommend Ariella Strings highly enough.
Grateful thanks and best wishes from Laura & Keith.

We saw Ariella strings at a wedding fair at Fawsley Hall earlier this year and thought they would be perfect for our wedding there on Easter Sunday this year. We were delighted to have them there as part of our special day. We chose the trio , who played beautifully as our guests arrived , as I walked down the aisle , when we were signing the register and as we walked out of the ceremony. We chose contemporary music from their extensive list, with so many choices to make as part of planning our wedding it really helped us to have a list rather than them saying they could play anything. Our guests were able to choose the music for the drinks reception from our pre- selected pieces as part of the JukeBox Live service offered. We would definitely recommend them.
