"The Arioso String Quartet turned my special day into something truly
memorable. So many of my guests commented on how lovely the music was.
It really added that something a little bit extra to my wedding."
– S.
Toomey
"I was after music that would make mine different to your average
function – I had heard other string quartets, but when I heard Arioso
playing it really turned my head around. The jazz and gypsy pieces they
played made our function totally unique. They’re great!"
- P. Bennett
"I’d just like to say a huge thankyou to you all for your performance
last week! Your professionalism was greatly appreciated; punctual, well
presented, and beautiful playing. Thanks again!"
