Gorgeous instrumental music

We used Elysia for our wedding at Merewood, and they were an absolute dream. Penny was very helpful in the planning process when choosing our music, and the quartet were very happy to play all of our choices. The music for the ceremony set the tone perfectly and was beautifully played, as was the playing during canapés, where they even had a group of small children dancing along in front of them and asking for more!! We had a lot of compliments about the quartet on the day for providing such elegant music. We would 100% recommend them as the string quartet for your wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
