hiya Ilse,
Just a quick mail to say thanks a million for everything on our wedding day in February The music was just amazingly beautiful from start to finish. So sorry I didn’t get a chance to thank you in person but it truly was beautiful. It really meant a lot that you played Masterplan for us, you really did a fantastic job on it and all our guests have commented about that song and how brilliant you were. Thanks you so much for everything you really helped make our day special and the service memorable for all there.
Thanks again,

Elise & Paul

Dear Scarlet Strings,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful music you played at my wedding, and at the reception. Despite being in a totally daze by the whole day, I remember it clearly. The cavaleria rusticana was absolutely stunning. I don’t think you got to play Clare du Lune, as the priest told us to light the candles immediately, so thank you for improvising on the timing there!!
It was really stunning and Sharon sang so beautifully.
Thank you again,
Best regards,
Elise and Paul.

I just want to mail to say thank you for providing the music for our wedding at Inish beg last week. You guys were wonderful. Sorry we didn’t get to talk to you properly on the day but we were rushed around a lot for most of the afternoon. Everybody who was there complimented the music and we want to say a special thanks for traipsing through the forest to set up at the pond where we had the ceremony! It was great to have music out there.
Hope all goes well for the future and thanks again for everything!
All the best,
