Exquisite string quartet for wedding reception

We wanted a string quartet for our wedding reception and breakfast and found these lovely ladies online. Having watched their videos we knew they would be what we were looking for, with a vast repertoire including classical, movie and TV themes and pop music etc, and you can create a playlist or let the girls choose the songs.
We were not disappointed! The performance was sublime and everyone commented on how good they were and where had we found them. I kept getting distracted as all I wanted to do was stand and listen to them.
The ladies were talented, friendly and personable and I wanted to pop them in my pocket & take them home with me!
We would definitely recommend The Rosettes for a first class musical experience

Fantastic all round

Extremely talented musicians with an excellent repertoire of classical and contemporary music. Adapted well to a spontaneous change in location during the day.

Would thoroughly recommend.
