Exceeded our expectations

We recently had the pleasure of having The Fern String Quartet perform at our wedding in East Yorkshire, and we can't express how grateful we are for their incredible contribution to our special day. From the moment they began to play, the atmosphere was transformed, and our guests were captivated by their beautiful music. Each member of the quartet is extremely talented and highly skilled, and their passion for music shines through in every note they play. They performed with such elegance an

A touch of magic!

Amazing, beautiful and always remembered: We cannot recommend the Fern Quartet enough. These ladies added a touch of magic to our wedding day. We conversed with Fionnuala - she was prompt, professional, warm and incredibly helpful. They even learnt a special song for my now husband I cant thank them enough. They played beautifully and it really was special having the Fern Quartet at our wedding day.

They set the scene!

Everyone commented on how they really set the scene before the ceremony and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight as I came down the aisle to them playing my song. They were attentive and just amazing. Dorrinda x

Wonderful String Quartet

The Fern Quartet played the most wonderful music for our wedding ceremony. I made an unusual request for my aisle song and they were so accommodating and learned the song perfectly, it was such a magical moment. They played some beautiful versions of our favourite pop songs and even had all of the bridesmaids singing along! We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the wedding and I absolutely recommend them to any other brides.

Highlight of the Ceremony

Wow. We hired the Fern Quartet to play at our July wedding for our outside ceremony. The music was beautiful and really added that extra special touch on our extra special day. Absolutely worth every penny. Lovely ladies too. Would 100% recommend.

You really can't beat live music!

An amazing wedding day made all the more perfect by The Fern Quartet. The music they played for the build up to, during and ending our wedding ceremony as well as then afterwards at our drinks reception really set the tone for what was the best day of our lives. This same sentiment has been echoed to us by a number of our guests also. Dealing with The Fern Quartet has been an absolute pleasure throughout. We can't thank you all enough. Mr & Mrs Parker
