Magnificent Music

We hired both a cellist for the ceremony and a string quartet to play during champagne canapes and the wedding breakfast.

Hiring these guys was a remarkably simple process- so much so I thought I had missed something and panic emailed them more than once. They are fast with communication, answer questions quickly and thoroughly and, most importantly, the music was really really lovely.

We were very vague in terms of what we wanted to be played but they adapted to the atmosphere and had such a perfect series of songs to fit our event.

The cellist played so beautifully as we were walking down the aisle and was incredibly accommodating with our desire for an outdoor, woodlands wedding.

Prices are very very fair and the artists are great, I would recommend them for any sort of event.

Wonderful string trio for our wedding

From our first enquiry call to the big day the team were so great. We had so many compliments about how beautiful the musicians played and we couldn't have agreed more. Thank you so much to Rebecca and co.

Our harpist was wonderful

After looking around many many musicians I contacted music students for hire for a harpist. Their communication throughout the process was excellent, we had a few unforseen circumstances with the first 2 harpists yet Ben at music students for hire kept us informed the whole time ensuring we had a harpist for our wedding day. Valeria our harpist was amazing, at short notice she played the songs we had requested and her music was magical

Fantastic and professional

Amazing and professional service. Offered great music suggestions. Don't let the title of students put you off, I'm convinced our violinist was semi-professional. Amazing value for money.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
