absolutely amazing

Molly and her quartet were absolutely incredible from start to finish. The communication between us before the day was very efficient and professional and on the day it was just unreal. We had some many compliments on the music and how well they played throughout our cocktail hour. The background music really help set the scene and it was magical. I could recommend them enough!

Amazing String Quartet!

We are SO happy we got in contact with Molly and booked the string quartet for our wedding reception. Thank you for the amazing music, communication and guidance. We can’t recommend the Craxton string quartet enough!

Beautiful addition to our day

Molly was so helpful and flexible with us which just made the whole process so easy. We had our wedding at home which meant no one would be there whilst Molly and the team set up (as we were all at the church) but they managed everything amazingly and really set the tone for the reception. Beautiful music with such a lovely mix of old and new - thank you so much ☺️

Amazingly talented, fantastic musicians!

Molly and her quartet played at our wedding during the ceremony and cocktail hour. They added the ‘bridgerton’ vibe we were looking for, playing some of our favourite songs and also arranged a special version of a Disney song as a surprise for our guests.
We were so impressed with the quality and professionalism, we would hire them again in a heart beat! Their repertoire is so extensive and it was no problem to have a special request.

Thank you Molly and team, you were brilliant!
