Hi Steve,
We just wanted to send you a message to thank you and the rest of the trio on an absolutely amazing performance at our wedding. Every person we have spoken to has commented on how brilliant you all were.
You really did make our wedding complete and we would like to thank you. The way you played the trumpet as we arrived at the ballroom will stay in our minds forever, it made us feel like king and queen! Thanks for the amazing memories you have given us.
If you ever need someone to use as a reference then feel free to give our details out and if we ever need any music again, you will be the only ones we think of.
Good luck for the future.
Kind Regards,
Jez and Sarah

Dear Steve
Just a short and hopelessly inadequate note to say a very big thank you to you and your musicians for what all the guests described as an outstanding performance Saturday evening.
Without exception, everybody felt that your ensemble made a massive contribution to the success of the evening. The Post Horn Gallop and medley that followed absolutely floored everybody.
We are extremely grateful to you for not only stepping into the void left by the Royal Marines, but doing so in such a first class fashion. Thank you all very much indeed.
Once again, very many thanks.
Kind regards.

Hi Steve,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much to you and the other members of the quartet. You were fantastic, I nearly cried when you started up at the church!! It was fab that all you joined in with the choir, it sounded great. (I'm not too keen on organs!) I didn't get to hear much of you at the reception as the photographer kept dragging us away from everyone, but you looked brilliant set up on the patio and everyone has commented on you. People who aren't yet married now all want a string quartet at their wedding!
Thanks again to you all, you were one of the highlights of the day :o)

Hi Steve,
Just to say a very big thankyou to you and Jerry, who was absolutely perfect, brilliant, everyone at the service said how much they enjoyed the trumpet.
Steph walked up the isle to the trumpet voluntary and the vicar said wow what an entrance. The whole service was perfect, I don't think we can say anymore than thankyou for making the church service special and it is something that will be talked about for a quite a while. I will phone Jerry but also can you pass this message on.
Kind regards and many thanks,
Christine

Dear Steve,
We would like to extend a belated but heartfelt "thank you" to you and the rest of the group for your amazing performance at our wedding on 23rd March. You played everything absolutely perfectly, incorporating all of my wishes and requests seamlessly.
From accompanying my walk down the aisle to accompanying the wedding breakfast, you were all so professional. I am to this day especially receiving rave comments about your trumpet fanfare at the end of the dinner Steve - it was just fantastic. It made the day all the more truly memorable and we thank you so much for all the extra effort you put in.
Once again please accept our sincere thanks for everything, and we will not hesitate in recommending you to anybody who needs a similar service for any occasion.
With very best wishes,
Nancy and Wayne

‘Once upon a time’ themed event held by John Lewis plc
The Royal Courts of Justice, London
|
Dear Steven,
Re: Once Upon a Time Ball
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleague for the service provided for us in relation to the above event.
The Trumpeters enhanced the theme of our event and the trumpet fanfares followed by announcements allowed us to create a really regal feel at various points throughout the evening. People stopped, looked up to the balcony and ‘wowed’ in amazement as the sound carried across the great hall to full effect. This proved to be a really integral part of our event, and was a very memorable aspect for many.
Thank you once again.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Steve,
Although my wife may have done so already, sorry it has taken me a few days to send our thanks for your excellent and enjoyable music at our lunch last Sunday at the Frimley Hall Hotel. Your choices of music were quite perfect.
Most people knew some or most of the tunes, which means they were pleased to be able to 'sing along' (quietly of course) and enjoy it the more. I am particularly grateful for the splendid fanfare for 'lunch being served' and shall certainly recommend your different groups whenever I can. One of our guests is an examiner for both the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and the Royal College of Organists and he was most impressed with your personal versatility and performance - could you ask for more?
Please convey my thanks to your colleagues, and many thanks again to you personally.
Regards
David
Dear Steve and fellow musicians,
Thank you so very much for a wonderful performance at our lunch party - superb choice of music and so sensitively played - Tina was so right - you are the best!
We were so impressed with the fanfare - and on the right instrument too!
Just about everyone sends their thanks with ours for making it such a lovely time with our friends and family. Hope we can hear you again,
Very Best wishes,
Celia

Dear Steve
We just wanted to thank you for being so fantastic at our wedding at Down Hall. You and your associates were absolutely brilliant and so many people commented as such. You even managed ‘swing low’! Hindsight is a wonderful thing however, we wouldn’t have had the band in the evening, my father said he would have rather seen/heard you continue into the evening. In any case, I just wanted to say thank you and in addition for the support you gave us in the run up to our big day. We had a wonderful wedding and are grateful to you for your part in it.
Very best wishes

Dear Steve,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note before heading off on honeymoon to say thank you so much for the stunning music on Friday at our wedding. Coming into the Church to “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” fulfilled everything I had imagined and your playing of Jerusalem got everyone singing so loudly I thought we’d lift the roof off St. Raphael’s, it was just brilliant!! The reception was amazing too - you guys created a great sense of occasion.
Thanks again to you all.
Very best wishes,

Thank you for the organisation to get Peggy and the Flautist (forgotten her name already I'm ashamed to say) to our daughter's wedding on Saturday.
Their playing was superb and a marvellous backdrop for the event.
There were many complimentary remarks about them and I would be grateful if they could be passed on. They were a major part that led to the event being such a fabulous success.
With many thanks

Dear Steve,
I would be grateful if you would convey my thanks to Adam and Andrew for helping to make our Boar’s Head Feast such a success last week. Despite this being the first occasion they have played at this particular event they quickly got into the part and helped the evening to go with a flourish. The pageant itself went off perfectly and was greatly enhanced by the fanfares that they had chosen to play.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to pencil ****** in your diary, which is the day on which the feast is scheduled to take place next year.
With all best wishes,
