We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the music on our special day simply perfect. We could not have wished for anything better.

To Ben, Pascal and The Innocenti Strings,
“We wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to your string quartet who performed at our wedding on 30th August at Castle Green CA. Walking into the ceremony room, one of the girls wished me luck and they looked and sounded so amazing it nearly made me cry! The guests have not stopped singing their praises and I was delighted to be back on time to hear the Meditation theme being played! An absolute high for both of us was listening to the Waltz during the signing of the register. We understand this must have taken additional time and effort to learn on our behalf and we are forever grateful. Our wedding ceremony was transformed by their presence and I can’t recommend you highly enough. Thank you once again, it has been a true pleasure dealing with you!” ~ Laura & Rob Summers
