We booked Scintillo for our Wedding in October 2021 & they were outstanding. From the moment we booked them, they were thoroughly professional & responsive. They have an extensive repertoire of music, but we wanted our favourite song to be played for the procession which wasnt on their list but they were happy to accommodate & learn it & absolutely nailed it. They added that extra bit of atmosphere to the day that we wanted & aswell as being a professional outfit, they were all lovely people and you didnt see them without a smile on their faces which makes all the difference. Thank you

We had Scintillo string quartet perform various music from their repertoire throughout the whole wedding day. They were so professional and performed at such a high standard. We were also so lucky to have them perform our first dance. Highly recommended. Very reasonably priced. Perfect finishing touch to our wedding day.

We had Scintillo String Quartet play at during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in July 2021 at Easton Grange. Chris goes above and beyond with any request and was so attentive from my first enquiry! The music is absolutely beautiful and everything we ever wished for, all of our guests loved it! Chris, Beth, Isobel and Yan Yi youre so talented, thank you so much!

After walking around our wedding venue (Easton Grange Wedding Venue) we were enraptured with the music playing over the audio system. We contacted Chris and to our delight they were available! They were happy to accommodate all the music choice my wife provided and were even happy to sneak into the venue as a surprise for our guests. Everyone enjoyed the live music and made comments about how beautiful it sounded. Thank you for making the start of our day wonderful and full of joy.

Scintillo played the most beautiful pieces of music for our church service, with such professionalism, our guests continue to comment on how romantic it felt having them play. With the COVID restrictions for singing, they were so flexible and more than happy to have my friend sing with them as they played the hymns. It was also a lovely touch that we could choose music that was not in their repertoire list, Chris did an amazing job arranging the music. We had a string trio (Violin, Viola and Cello - we could choose this) instead of the quartet, which worked so well in the church we had.
