Laura is a wonderful treat to work with on any event. Happy to meet the clients requirements and requests even if that means learning a new song at short notice.

Laura is a very sensitive player with strong individuality and an excellent technique. She won some of the Guildhalls most prestigious prizes. - Another reference from my cello teacher (Guildhall School of Music and Drama) 1985-90.

Alex and I would like to thank you and the other members of the quartet for playing at Sue and Wills wedding. The music added so much to making it a very special day for both of them. So many people told us that they thought the quartet was marvellous and Iain, who is a dedicated follower of classical music, thought you were stunningly good.

Can I say how pleased Liz and I were with the music that you provided for our wedding last Sunday. We both felt that your playing was the icing on the cake at the ceremony and afterwards at the reception and wedding breakfast. Absolutely perfect! Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to our perfect day. Ps your cello has a lovely voice :)
- John Mounty, wedding at St. Michaels Manor, St. Albans (quartet) - Aug 2011 Bride and Groom

We wanted to write to thank you for the fantastic music that you provided for our wedding ceremony. Your performances were outstanding and everybody mentioned how superb you were. We were extremely impressed by your lengthy repertoire, which allowed us to choose the perfect music not only for our ceremony but also for the drinks outside in the gardens and the Safari Lodge. We really appreciated being able to speak to Laura whenever we needed her. It was a wonderful relief to know that someone was paying attention to every detail. We would recommend you to anybody looking for wonderful musicians for any event. Best wishes and thank you.
