“Sascha and I were really thrilled with the Sorrento String Quartet you provided for our wedding in May. The music they played was beautiful and despite a strong wind and searing heat, they remained totally unruffled and enhanced our wedding ceremony tremendously. They played as the guests were assembling for our outdoor wedding, and then again during our drinks reception before we moved inside for the wedding breakfast. Our guests commented on how immaculately they were dressed and how magically they played. We would without hesitation recommend the group to any of our friends or colleagues. Thank you once again for helping to make our day so special.”

Jamie & Sascha, Wedding, July 2019

“I was very satisfied with the act - the girls were professional and on time and the music was beautiful. I'd definitely reccommend them and use them again.”

Elizabeth, River Cruise in Oxfordshire, August 2018

“These four clearly get on well. It shows in their playing, energetic and highly skilled.....”

Trevor Pratt, Director of Music at Prior's Field School, August 2018

“Sorrento Strings were brilliant. Really professional and classy. They looked amazing and played even better. People asked me several times where I found them as if they had been recommended to me but it was by chance that I booked them. Thank you ladies for making the beginning of the day SO GOOD!!!”

John, Wedding in Kingston, May 2018

“Having worked on several exciting gigs with the Sorrento String Quartet at packed-out houses, the whole of our band were knocked out by the technical ability and the theatrical exuberance of the girls.”

Clive Langer, Record Producer, 2017
