"Hi Susan,

Just wanted to to say thank you very much for the amazing job your string quartet did at our wedding. It all went so fast on the day and I apologise for not thanking you in person, it was all a bit overwhelming at the time. We really appreciated you learning a new song for us, it really made the ceremony in the garden wonderful.

Thanks again,

"An ambiance string trio played recently at my daughters garden wedding at our property in Clevedon. Their presence made a truly wonderful occasion perfect! There is nothing about the wedding I would have liked to do differently but without the musicians,I think we would have all been saying "All we needed were some strings!". I have much pleasure in thoroughly recommending Susan and her team. They are totally professional and a delight to deal with and I am sure would make your beautiful occasion even better.
Sincerely, Monica Johns."
