"The trio played for the private view and opening of Sculpture in the Vineyard. They are incredibly professional and all the arrangements were made well in advance with a wide selection of music to choose from. The music was perfect, an elegant background to the formal opening and conversations between groups. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wants to add a touch of serenity to an occasion."

"Being the 'mother of the bride' and my daughter's designated 'wedding planner' I was charged with finding a string quartet which would make her dreams come true. The Marilla String Quartet did just that. They set the scene for what turned out to be the most wonderful wedding. All the guests commented on how beautifully they played. For my part, Marisa was the calmest and most professional person I came in contact with over the 18 months it took to organise the 'Big Day'. I would recommend them to everyone."Wedding - St Martin's Church, Bladon & Blenheim Palace
