Anne, mother of the Bride, January 2011
Thank you very much for all your help on our wedding day the quartet were absolutely fantastic and your arrangement of Empire State of Mind was excellent and just how I imagined it. It contributed to a really special day and one we wish we could re-live over and over again.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you as you were so professional and accommodating. I would most definately recommend you to anyone and a number of our guests on the day commented on how good you all were. It is so refreshing when professional people like yourselves come along and contribute the way you did. Nothing was too much trouble and as musicians you were absolutely first class. Chris and I both said we could have just sat and listened to you all day!!
Joanne & Chris, December 2011
Thank you so much to The Leos Quartet for playing at our wedding at Manchester Town Hall in November. We had so many comments from our guests on how fantastic you were, and we especially appreciate that you stayed for so much of the day to entertain our crowd! The music choices were perfect and your whole group are very talented and professional people!! Thanks again, I would whole-heartedly recommend this string quartet to anyone!!
Wendy & Philip, November 2011
CIC were delighted that musicians of the calibre of the Leos Quartet could join us for our recent fundraising event. Their incredible talent provided a wonderful musical backdrop, adding an air of class and sophistication to our event. We received excellent feedback from our guests on the group’s performance and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a special touch to their event.
John, CIC November 2011
If you want to have your icing on the top of the (wedding) cake - book these guys and girls - they will make the day extra–special. We booked Leos Quartet on a recommendation from a friend, and there is only one word that does them justice – wow! From initial enquiries, to helping us choose songs, and then mixing classical with modern classics during the day they really made a huge impression on us and the guests – they are simply superb and we highly recommend them.
Cath & Martin, October 2011
Leos quartet played at our wedding at Manchester Town Hall. They are very talented musicians with a great repertoire of music so there was something for everyone. They really added to the atmosphere on the day and made it even more special. So many of our guests commented how good they were and you could tell they weren't just saying that as they went out of their way to tell me. I would highly recommend them. .
Emily & Michael, October 2011
You were simply awesome - everyone was complimenting your playing and you even got a complimentary mention from the bride's father during his speech. Your communication prior to the day was second to none and your professionalism remarkably reassuring. The actual music was nothing short of phenomenal with my only regret being I spent most of the time away from the drinks reception due to photos and video. Many thanks Rachel for making our day that bit more special.
Paul & Kitty, October 2011
Thank you so much to The Leos Trio for playing at our Wedding on Saturday 1st October. The repertoire that you did was just perfect for the occasion, and was exactly what we requested at the time of booking. The volume of the trio was just right for the room in which you played in during our reception, and everyone commented on how nice it was to have live music at such a level that they could still hold a conversation with each other. You were the icing on the cake to what was an amazing day. We look forward to recommending you to friends, family and colleagues.
Simon & Nicola, October 2011
Thank you so much for your wonderful performance at our wedding. Everybody has commented on how brilliantly you played and has been a talking point for weeks since. My dad even wants to book you for future parties as you were fabulous (and very reasonably priced). I cannot recommend you highly enough. We will certainly be regulars at your public performances in the future!!!!!! The service you offered from first enquiry, to secret songs being learnt as surprises, and final performance was smooth, efficient and just easy. Thank you so much, you really added that special something. See you at the Trafford Centre soon!!!!
Sally & Ian, September 2011
As a family we would like to thank all the members of the quartet for making the occassion of our son's marriage an even more superb event. The selection of music that you played during the ceremony and the garden reception was beautifully performed and with such varied choices both modern and classical that you succeeded in captivating every individual that attended. Your advice on choices of music was extremely knowledgable and greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate in recommending you to any of our friends and family and have already passed your details on. We wish you every deserved success in the future. Our daughter and her fiance are in the process of arranging their marriage so expect contact from us very soon!
Michelle, mother of the Groom, September 2011
I just want to say how fantastic the Leos Quartet were - they were absolutely amazing. The guests loved the music and were surprised with all the modern tunes being played. They made the day for me. I am really thankful for their playing at our wedding and I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know getting married. I am really glad I was at the Trafford centre when you were playing - big thank you,
Sarah, August 2011
Thank you so much to the Leos Trio who played at our golf club on my Lady Captain’s evening in July.
The theme was Venetian, complete with masks and all the trimmings. Rachel and her two colleagues played a
wonderful selection of classical and modern pieces which absolutely complimented the setting, so much so, that several ladies likened it to
the music which is played in St Marks Square, and so, added to the ambience of the
evening. The trio were superb and were appreciated by all the ladies. They are still
marvelling at the whole spectacle.
Rachel was really helpful in organising the musical programme which included
several favourite pieces. I thoroughly recommend the musicians to anyone who is organising a special event,
they will not fail to please. Thank you for all you help in making my special day a truly memorable experience.
Lady Captain, Romiley Golf Club July 2011
Would you please convey our thanks to the Leos Trio for their performance at St Mary's church in Glossop on Saturday. The music was beautiful, and for me in particular,very moving and emotional, everybody there said how much they enjoyed it too! Thank you for your help and guidance with the choices of music, and if in the future we have any big occasions to celebrate and musicians are needed, then we wont hesitate to contact you again!
Patricia, Sister of the bride, July 2011
We booked The Leos Quartet for our Wedding in Nottinghamshire, June 2011. The string quartet were exceptional and played beautifully throughout the Wedding. We had them play for both the ceremony and the reception. We are so grateful for all their hard work and flexibility! Rachel was exemplary at maintaining good communication to ensure that our day was as special as possible. Many of our guests commented on how superb The Leos Quartet's performance was - and how much they enjoyed listening to them. We would thoroughly recommend them if you are looking for a string quartet and a special performance. Thank you very much!
Rebekah & Gopal, June 2011
The Leos Quartet played at our wedding in June at the Chancellors Hotel in Manchester and we can't recommend them highly enough. Rachel managed all the details leading up to the wedding including timing and the playlist which included pieces we had chosen, together with pieces chosen by them. All of it worked excellently and we had numerous comments from our guests who thought they were outstanding. They were incredibly professional in all aspects and we wouldn't hesitate to book them again.
Stuart & Elizabeth, June 2011
Thank you for doing such an amazing job for our clients at their wedding in Yorkshire this week. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and thank you for being so flexible to our requirements including the outdoor ceremony! Your repertoire extends to great ‘modern’ music which is just perfect for those who would like to have the traditional quartet but with a contemporary twist. We look forward to working with you again.
Caroline, Pomp & Ceremony Planning June 2011
Your playing of Mozart’s ‘Divertimenti’ was superb and it provided the highlight of my evening. But all of your music, classical and modern, was exquisitely played and much enjoyed by all my guests. Thank you very much.
Professor Julia Häusermann MBE June 2011
We spotted the Leos Quartet playing at the Trafford Centre and knew straight away that we wanted them to play at our wedding. They were absolutely superb from the moment we booked them right through to their performance on the day. Throughout the planning process they remained in contact with us sending song suggestions with samples we could listen to making our choices a lot easier. We could not be happier with our decision to pick the quartet to play at our wedding and a couple of our friends were so impressed they are using them for their wedding. If you are looking for that little something to make your wedding day extra special book the Leos Quartet!
Mark & Janine, May 2011
Just a few words to say thank you so much for all that you did to make our day so special. The music you provided on the day was exceptional and many of our guests commented on how your presence made a special contribution to the day. We were impressed with the range of music that makes up the quartet's repertoire and this enabled us to have a mix of music to suit all guests. Special mention to Rachel for all the guidance and helpful tips on the lead up to the day. Anybody planning a wedding will agree that it really does make the difference to find people who provide efficient and friendly service and Leos Quartet exceeded this and played beautiful music.
Gill & David, May 2011
The Leos Quartet played at our wedding ceremony and at the post ceremony drinks reception at the Town Hall on 21st May 2011. In the preparations for the day, the group (Rachel) couldn't have been more helpful with their pro-active and very friendly assistance, in establishing the kind of music, we were looking for at the wedding. They also made some brilliant suggestions (sending website links for us to listen to these pieces) which led us to selecting one of the songs for our 'walk' back down the aisle as husband and wife! The guests all commented on how beautiful the music was and in particular, they really liked the mix of traditional and contemporary music which was played for our drinks reception. I have a big birthday celebration next year and I will be booking the Leos Quartet to play for this event - and we can't wait to hear them again!
Jill & Craig, May 2011
A Triumph! Thank you all so so much for the wonderful atmosphere you helped create on our special day. The music played as I saw my wife-to-be coming down the aisle will stay with me forever. Everyone there commented on how good you all were. I will willingly and enthusiastically recommend you to anyone who is considering hiring you for their event.
Once again a massive thank you from myself, my wife and everyone who was there at our special day.
William & Lucy April 2011
We had the pleasure of working with the Leos Quartet at a wedding we organised recently. Their performance during the ceremony and the drinks reception was amazing and they blended classic with contemporary pieces effortlessly. The wedding was themed to the Grand National and they had a piece of music arranged especially for it which suited the occasion perfectly and in the words of the Mother of the Bride ‘made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up’.
It was great to work with friendly, professional and above all extremely talented musicians and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to our future clients. We look forward to working again together soon.
Deborah, PPL Events April 2011
Thank you to the Leos Quartet for a lively performance that really set the mood for the celebration event we were hosting. Throughout the varied repertoire, the quartet displayed great skill and professionalism coupled with a genuine passion for the music and the overall performance. Thanks again for making it such a great night.
Lucy, BNY Mellon April 2011
Me and John had the most amazing day yesterday and we would like to give a massive thank you for the heavenly music provided during our perfect wedding ceremony. Your music was the final finishing touch to the most perfect wedding ceremony any couple could ask for!
We would highly recommend you guys to anyone and we've had the most positive response from all our friends and family at the ceremony, saying how much they enjoyed the beautiful music and how amazing you guys were.
We wish you guys all the best for the future and it was a pleasure to have you play at our Special Day.
John & Anley April 2011
Just to let you know that we are sooo happy with what you did for our wedding, you literally made our wedding so special, especially when Lucy was walking down the aisle, it was like a fairytale for us. We have had so much good feedback about your performance, everybody loved it and thought it was such a special touch to our day. Thank you so much.
Michael & Lucy December 2010
Thank you so much to The Leos Quartet for playing at our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and you were able to accommodate every request. It was great to know we could fully rely upon you. You sounded and looked fabulous and perfectly suited the Knowsley Hall stately home atmosphere.
Charlotte Bennett, Sales and Marketing Manager, Knowsley Hall December 2010
We can’t thank you enough for playing at our daughter’s wedding reception on Dec 4th 2010 and helping to make it such a perfect day. We felt privileged to have such wonderful musicians performing for us and our guests, and your playing was certainly one of the highlights that we will all remember. You put together an absolutely perfect programme of beautiful classical and light music pieces and your performance was just fantastic! Everything was organised so efficiently by Rachel, giving me one less thing to worry about. Thank you so much, good luck in your future careers, and we hope to have the opportunity to hear you playing again soon.
Helen & Tim December 2010
Your music was lovely and created the perfect atmosphere - lots of our guests commented on your beautiful and melodic music. Thank you so much for contributing to making our day so special. We will cherish the memories forever.
Gill & Paul November 2010
The BLS Silver Jubilee Conference at Manchester Town Hall was the largest and best attended in the Society’s history. The quality and ambience of the reception on the opening evening was greatly enhanced by the excellent playing of The Leos Quartet which gave a very special feel to a very special occasion.
David Combie October 2010
Thank you so much, you made our day so special and you were truly just what we had dreamed of. The aisle music was perfect and very emotional, just what we wanted and all our guests commented on the music and how you moved about to suit the location of us and our guests, again, very thoughtful. You were always brilliant with replying to emails and I felt you did exactly what we wanted but even so it was far better than we ever could have hoped, especially as we do not have alot of knowledge about classical music. We will never be able to tell you just how special you made our day, THANK YOU! It was like something out of a film and what every bride should have, many thanks. I will pass your name onto anyone that will listen!
Lucie & Andy September 2010
The Leos Quartet far exceeded our expectations and we would like to thank them sincerely for making our Garden Party perfect. We could tell from our discussions with Rachel that she was well used to planning and advising on music for all types of event. She was always cheerful and encouraging and completely understood the type of atmosphere we were hoping to create. Communications with her were efficient and prompt and I can honestly say that without the Quartet the event would have been much less successful. Many of our guests commented on the quality of the musical performance and repertoire. As a group the Leos Quartet are attractive, genuinely want to please and consumate professionals at their art.
We will be hoping to book you again next year !
Jackie & David July 2010
We want to say a big THANK YOU for the beautiful music The Leos Quartet provided during our wedding ceremony. It was amazing and exactly how we imagined it to be! Although it rained, your wonderful music completely lifted the atmosphere and you kept all of our guests thoroughly entertained whilst they waited for us to get our pictures taken. You all look like such lovely people and you have been so helpful from start to finish, we really cant thank you enough. We will be recommending you to all of our friends and family, although we dont think we will need to as you did yourselves justice!
Amy & Brett July 2010
Thank you so much for the wonderful, beautiful, music you provided - it was such an important part of the overall atmosphere we wanted. You more than fulfilled our expectations, and the smiles on your faces came through in the music. I would happily recommened The Leos Quartet to anybody who appreciates the atmosphere that skilfully crafted live music can create and I wish you all the very best for the future.
Andy & Catherine July 2010
We booked the Leos Quartet to play at our wedding at Belle Epoque in Knutsford in June 2010. We initially came across them on a trip to the Trafford Centre earlier in the year - where they were playing. Their music is beautiful and literally stopped us in our tracks! From the moment we booked them up until our big day we dealt with Rachel who was friendly and helpful, and always replied to emails within a few hours. This was brilliant and took away a lot of the stress that comes with planning a wedding! They were really flexible with our music choices and timings, and we were over the moon when they said that they would learn one of our favourite songs for the ceremony. This made it a very personal experience and one we will remember forever. The Quartet didn't stop smiling the whole day and were so approachable and friendly, they were a joy to be around. Many of the guests commented on how fantastic and talented they are, and we were thrilled with the service they provided. We would definitely recommend them to everyone and wish them all the luck in the future - with talent like theirs there is no doubt they will go far.
Vicky & Jeremy, June 2010
We thoroughly enjoyed the concert, which was a real high point of our weekend. Guests used words like "inspirational", "consummate musicianship" "superb rapport - not just within the Quartet but between the Quartet and the audience also". The concert achieved everything and more I had hoped for it. Long live live music!
Bryan Bulloch, May 2010
We first heard The Leos Quartet in Chester and were very impressed so we thought we would ask them to play at our son's wedding. I made contact with Rachel who could not do enough to help us. It was no problem for them to travel to North Wales.
On the wedding day they made it very very special and magical. Everyone thought they were marvellous.
We would like to wish the quartet all the best for the future and we would highly recommend them and when our other son marries we will get in touch again.
Stephen & Gwen, April 2010
The Leos Quartet was excellent. Their timing in relation to the entry of the bride and other key points in the ceremony was impeccable. Many of the 100 guests made a special point of mentioning to us how much they enjoyed the music. They have a wide repertoire and their organisation both before and at the ceremony was excellent. Many thanks to you and your fellow players for such a wonderful performance!
Bill & Sue, April 2010
On behalf of the Chairman of the St George’s Day Club, I would like to thank you very much for the delightful music you played during their 25th anniversary celebrations. The choice of music and the expertise were as always spot on and added to the fabulous day they all enjoyed. It’s always a pleasure to listen to your musicians, who are extremely talented and professional.
Debbie Wilson April 2010
Can I just say thank you so much to you and your team for yesterday. You were all just BRILLIANT - the Memorial Service went really smoothly and that was largely due to your wonderful quartet setting the scene from the start.
Well done. Many thanks,
Peter Shaw, ITV February 2010
Everyone so enjoyed your music; you made such a wonderful atmosphere happen.
Mum I know was delighted. My parents attend many functions at the golf club, but I doubt any have been as special as last night and the Leos Quartet was largely to thank for that. Good luck to you and the rest of the group with your courses; keep in touch and do invite us to your first recital in London! Thank you again!
Love Stephanie
Stephanie Farrimond, February 2010
The Leos Quartet are undoubtedly one of the most dynamic string quartets based in the North of England. They are energetic, talented and passionate about their performances..
Joel Cooper, Inspired Music October 2009
The string quartet were fantastic! They really set the scene for a wonderful wedding celebration and helped to make the whole day perfect for Sarah and Ben. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and even the hotel staff found time to say how impressed they were We wish you all every success in the future and we have no hesitation in recommending your musicians to anyone preparing for their big day!
