A Special Touch
We are so glad to have had 4tissimo be part of our wedding! They played so beautifully, and Kim was so helpful and kind in the lead-up (even accommodating sharing a recording to help us co-ordinate our first dance!). 4tissimo has an extensive repertoire and fantastic performance, lending such a special touch to a wedding. Thank you Kim and team!

Repertoire was perfect
4tissimo played at our wedding for the ceremony and afternoon garden party, and they were fantastic. They were easy to arrange details with prior to the day, and highly professional on the day. Our guests were impressed with the standard of the quartet, their repertoire was perfect and our requests fully accommodated, it was clear that 4tissimo love doing what they do - and they do it well. 4tissimo accommodated a last minute setup change from indoors to outdoors due to a weather break, they were extremely helpful, and also played until the very end of our garden party. We were very lucky that 4tissimo had a last minute availability. We would very highly recommend!

A Highlight of the Day
Having 4tissimo String Quartet play at our wedding was one of the highlights of the day and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Being able to pick music that we loved and knew so well, (and was fun!) made us really feel like we were adding something personal to us, to our day. Listening to them during the wedding breakfast felt like we were having our own concert! Kim was a pleasure to deal with and we really appreciated them fitting around our timings for the day.

The Music was Immaculate
The most amazing music experience for our wedding day, setting the scene as though we were in a fairytale. I cannot recommend Kim and the string quartet enough for how immaculate the music was, and for playing for a considerably large chunk of the day. Of all the elements of the wedding day, we had by far the most comments about how incredible the string quartet were. With such a vast array of music in their repertoire it made it such an enjoyable experience to hear the different songs throughout the day. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Glad we Hired Them!
4tissimo performed at our wedding this weekend and I have to say - they were brilliant. The range of music they have, the communication, the patience they had with our little one - not to even mention the fact they perfectly played away during our drinks and meal along with the ceremony, I'm so glad we hired them. Thank you guys so much!

Absolutely Recommend!
I would absolutely recommend 4tissimo for your events! They are literally a string instrument jukebox. I was maid of honour at a wedding recently and had the pleasure of listening to them play a plethora of songs from video games, rock and alt, 90's pop and much more!
Many of the guests had fun playing "guess that song" whilst enjoying pre-ceremony appetisers, and during the main meal.
An experience I won't be forgetting in a hurry! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

A Highlight of the Day
We booked 4tissimo for our ceremony and post-wedding drinks reception and they were one of the highlights of our day!
Their extensive repertoire meant that we could enjoy our favourite rock, metal, film and Disney songs in classical format, and we had many guests commenting on how much fun they had listening to them.
We wanted to walk out of the ceremony to the Island song from Adventure Time, which had never been arranged for a string quartet before. This was no trouble for Kim and her team who were able to put it together in a matter of weeks.
I cannot recommend highly enough!
