We have use them now for 3 years running, they are very good and professional, thank you again.
Thank you for your help in our event. 5 stars.
Fantastic quartet! Played beautifully and were really friendly. Thank you for a lovely performance at my wedding.
Excellent, 10 out of 10.
Excellent - great sound and very easy to work with in preparing for the event. 5 stars.
Dan and his fellow musicians were excellent from start to finish. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or to recommend.
Excellent music and very friendly. They really made the whole day perfect. Thank you.
The Anatole Quartet were absolutely incredible. The music was perfect and we couldn’t have wanted for better! Stunning! Thank you so much
A great performance, the perfect addition to our wedding. Thank you so much!
It was just perfect. A wonderful touch to our fairytale wedding and had so many wonderful comments about you guys.
Wow. We could not have asked for a better string group! You played beautifully!
One of the best things we did at our wedding was to hire the Anatole Quartet, not only are you wonderful musicians but you were so effortless and professional to deal with. With all the things involved in getting married it’s so nice to deal with people who just get it done (and get it done well!). The amount of people who commented how great you guys were was huge. We absolutely loved having you there. The music for both the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast was nothing but perfect. You truly set the tone for our memorable day and helped to make it such a perfect occasion. I can’t recommend you highly enough, if you want a quartet at your event then none other would be better than the Anatole Quartet.
After hearing the quality of your group on Saturday I would very much like to work with you again in the future.
Really did a wonderful job at our wedding, fabulous playing, they set the tone brilliantly. We had so many comments about what excellent musicians they are.
Dan was a pleasure to deal with - he even transcribed a piece of music special to us. Punctuality, appearance and musicianship excellent. Would rebook without hesitation.
I just want to say thank you SO much for your performance on Friday! The string quartet was one of the best highlights of my wedding day. Everyone loved you so much - it was amazing! Especially Britney Spears and Smooth Criminal!!!
What can we say, “Thank you so much for your performance, it was all that we expected and so much more”. We will recommend the “Anatole String Quartet” to all and have passed a few short videos on to others who weren’t present, their comments are delightful, thank you so much for making our special gathering a success with your presence.
We worked with Anatole Quartet and would thoroughly recommend them for your wedding. They have a huge repertoire of classical and modern tracks that you can choose from to really carve out the vibe and personality you want for your day. They are also happy to consider other tracks and work with you to source other arrangements as you need. Dan was great at giving advice but also ensuring we made our own decision for the day as it was our wedding. Very easy to communicate with around the event logistics and payment as well. Overall a great experience!
We had the Anatole Quartet play at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. Dan was incredibly helpful and professional and nothing was too much trouble. An example of this was when they learnt how to play one of the Star Wars tunes to play during the ceremony, which went down exceptionally well with all our guests. They were a great addition to our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
We booked The Anatole Quartet for our gala dinner on the last night of an international conference. They complimented Queen’s college perfectly and delighted our guests with their mix of classic and modern music. The booking process was easy and they were great to work with.
Dan and his team were a wonderful addition to our special day. Everything ran wonderfully well and our guests were thrilled with the selection of music chosen for the day. Anatole Quartet were extremely professional and leading up to the day, happily communicated with the Choir and Church, leaving my husband and I to focus on other things. Absolutely five star and highly recommended. Thanks again.
