We had Capella String Quartet at our wedding on 21/4/25 and what a vibe they brought!! From playing at our ceremony, creating such a beautiful atmosphere for me walking down the aisle. Then playing for our guests whilst they mingled. They truly are so talented! They were one of the first suppliers we booked as we knew we just NEEDED them and they did not let us down! I would highly recommend this group to anyone looking for some beautiful music at their special event 🤍🤍 xxxx

I had David on the violin for our winter wedding in December.

David took the time to chat about my ideas and gave his advice on song choices I suggested throughout the day.

He played absolutely beautiful and brought a tear to my groom’s eye (which was exactly what I wanted 😂)

Thanks again for making our day special,

Mr & Mrs Reid x

I cannot recommend David enough, he was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. He was so helpful throughout the process, the dream supplier! David was able to play anything we requested so beautifully! All our guests absolutely loved David at our drinks reception. Thank you for making our wedding so special from our ceremony to drinks reception. You are so talented!! Thank so much again!

Capella played at our wedding at Crossbasket castle a few months ago and they were absolutely fantastic.
They really elevated the day and our guests also loved them! Thanks again!

David from Capella played our wedding on 1st August at Lodge on Loch Lomond. We loved listening to David play when we seen him at venue open days/wedding shows and just knew we had to have Capella as part of our day.

David played our ceremony and drinks reception - he had excellent communication on the lead up to the day and was more than happy to accommodate our music requests. He played a variety of music throughout the afternoon’s drinks reception. He even played River Flows in You for my wee mum as this is her favourite and this meant so much to us. Both us and our guests were in awe with how David played - it elevated the ceremony and was the icing on the cake. Thank you for being part of our day, we would highly recommend Capella!!

We couldn't recommend Capella enough! We hired David as a soloist to play from just before our ceremony, during our ceremony and through our drinks reception. From start to finish he was professional, friendly and did everything he could to ensure that we got what we wanted, including getting in a last minute rehearsal with my cousin to practice the accompaniment for the song she sang during our ceremony, which was such a special moment for us. Our guests were also very impressed and spoke about how amazing he was all day. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our wedding day, and we could recommend David more!

Capella recently played at our wedding in Strathaven Hotel and they were absolutely fantastic! We booked the String Trio and the communication we received from David on the run up to the wedding was brilliant, and they played exactly what we had requested on our playlist. The musicians are exceptionally talented and the music brought so much joy and emotion to my wedding guests, who all commented on how amazing they were! They have an amazing repertoire, which shows how talented they are to be able to play such a wide variety of music! We were so honoured to have Capella as part of our big day and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for music for during their wedding, they are just absolutely amazing!

I had string quartet for my wedding, they played beautifully.

Capella played my brother's wedding on 31st August 2024, and they were brilliant. A mix of beautiful classical music, and some modern popular songs...which gave us the opportunity to play Name That Tune!

Such talented musicians, they really added a touch of class to the proceedings!

After hearing Capella String Quartet playing at a wedding show, I knew immediately that I wanted David to play violin at our wedding. David played during our guest arrival, our ceremony and drinks reception at Thirlestane Castle. David is an outstanding violinist, he is extremely professional and incredibly talented. Our guests couldn’t have spoken more highly of his performances and he ensured my entrance was perfect. His communication and support leading up to our special day was excellent. David and Capella String Quartet, we thank you so much and highly recommend you.

David played as a solo violinist with backing track at our wedding at Auchen castle. All I can say is, wow!! David played when I was walking down the aisle and it made that moment so much more special. Following this, David played during our drinks reception providing amazing entertainment for our guests. We requested upbeat music during the drinks reception and David definitely delivered. Thank you so much!

We love love love David and the team ❤️ One of House for an Art Lover's preferred vendors and you can see why. We got to see them at the HFAL wedding open evening and the SECC.
I got to walk down the aisle to 'Sweet Caroline' which they were more than happy to do as well as Rocky for our exit song 😂. Our guests loved them❤️, I'm just sad we didn't get to hear enough of them as we were our getting pictures.

We didn't ask them to do this, but as we missed two of our 'personal song arrangements' that the team had learned specifically for our wedding, Capella had recorded them for us and sent them to us. We got to share these with our Turkish family (they were Turkish songs) which was amazing. It just means I will need to book them again❤️ but not for another wedding 🤞haha. Thanks again Capella, you are amazing 🏆

We had Capella string quartet for our wedding ceremony and we absolutely loved it! They were super accommodating with our song requests and played beautifully. Thank you so much !

David performed as a solo violinist at our wedding at Lodge on Loch Lomond in July this year.

We couldn’t have asked for a more talented and all round lovely individual. Nothing was too much hassle for David - he was quick to reply to any queries via email and was always happy to help. David played “Young and Beautiful” for my aisle song and it was so beautiful - better than I could have ever imagined. We also had so many guests comment how outstanding the music was.

Thank you again - you have given us such special memories for life.

Capella played at our wedding on Saturday 22nd June and they were amazing. Guests commented on how amazing they were and the addition of live music during the ceremony made it feel so much more personal. They played during the drinks reception too and even took requests from guests. They really are incredibly talented and cannot thank them enough!

We had Capella play at our wedding on Sunday and they were simply incredible. I initially heard them at my sister’s wedding in 2021 and I just knew I couldn’t get married without them! They played every song we asked for and my song walking down the aisle (canon in D) was absolutely beautiful and it felt like a fairytale. They continued to play during our drinks reception which our guests loved. 5* service and we would 100% recommend Capella - they are a MUST supplier for a wedding 🎻☺️

We had Capella play for our ceremony and reception last Sunday at Lochside Hotel and they were absolutely amazing!
Our guests really loved hearing them play and were so impressed with the large range of pieces they were playing from classical pieces to Harry Styles!
David always listened to what we wanted and his communication with us was great!

We would highly recommend Capella! Thank you again x

Can’t recommend Capella highly enough. They were one of the very first suppliers we booked for our wedding and all communication was a pleasure - very professional and straightforward. They were incredible on the day, some lovely personal touches during the ceremony and an absolute highlight of our day. I’m only sad I didn’t get to hear them more as we were out doing photos during the canapés but so many guests mentioned how fantastic they were. 10/10!

David was absolutely amazing. His communication throughout was great and so reassuring.
He played ‘For the Love of a Princess’ for my Aisle song and it was absolutely beautiful.
All guests commented on how beautiful the music was for guests arriving and during the ceremony.
Highly recommend.

We recently had Freya playing as a solo violinist at our wedding and she was awesome. We had Freya playing for guests taking their seats for the ceremony, playing for the bridal procession, during the signing of the register then afterwards they set up outside on the lawn for the drinks reception.
Even in the lead up to the wedding, David was very helpful and accomodating in helping us make our choices for music as certain points of our day and nothing seemed a bother.
Capella were definintely a great addition to our day and I would recommend this company to anyone considering this style of music for an event.

I love Capella! I cannot say enough good things about them. We used them for a quartet at our own wedding and have recently used them again for a violinist at daughter’s wedding. They are so professional and try to accommodate all music request and they have always been a great addition to our events. Highly, highly recommend them.

Capella played at our wedding last weekend at enterkine House. I can't believe how amazing it was. she played the perfect up beat music. All the guests commented to say how good she was. and it's something a bit diffrent. we honestly can't recommend them enough!

David was absolutely amazing on our big day. We spoke to him on the phone a couple of weeks before the big day and I requested if he could play my song going down the aisle for the bridesmaids and then the actual song for me and he carried this out amazingly the transition between the violin and the music was brilliant. We also requested Queen 'crazy little thing called love', David learned this for us and it was fantastic. All our guests loved the music and vibe David gave on our special day and he really made our drinks reception that bit more fun with lovely music playing in the background of everyone speaking.

David recently played at our wedding and literally made it even more special than we could have imaged. He played so beautifully and everyone complimented how amazing he was, and the atmosphere! I couldn’t recommend David more. Capella were easy to communicate with too, very professional and lovely to speak too.

We hired David as a solo violinist to play music during our wedding ceremony and afterwards for our guests drinks reception. Everyone was amazed at his talent and we could not be more happy with his song choices and effort to include our personal requests.
If you want to add a touch of genuine class to your day then we would highly recommend you get David and/or the rest of Capella on board. We guarantee you and your guests will be captivated and talking about it for many years.

We had Gisela play for us at our wedding on 29th September 2023 at Radstone’s Hotel and she was absolutely outstanding. All of our guests commented on how good she was and how they enjoyed listening to her play.

Would highly recommend booking with Capella String Quartet if you are looking to make your day that bit more special. ❤️

Capella played at our wedding in August 2023 and they were amazing. The whole process from booking to choosing songs was so straight forward with David. They have a great repertoire to choose from, and also take requests for some songs too. Having them play whilst walking down the aisle really added to an already special moment, and one we’ll never forget. They are very talented musicians and we feel so grateful to have had them play at our wedding! The Chauhans.

Hello to David and co! We’ve just watched our wedding footage for the first time and wanted to pass along a huge THANK YOU for how wonderful you all were on the day. We are so sorry we didn't manage to say hello to you at the time, as I'm sure you've experienced plenty of times, the day just gets a big hectic and runs away from you! We were absolutely delighted with how amazing you were on the day, and can't thank you enough! You were the perfect choice for us, and we HIGHLY recommend you! Thank you again ❤

Capella String Quartet played for me walking down the aisle, signing the register and during our canapés & fizz reception. They learnt the songs we requested to perfection. All the songs they played were absolutely outstanding, they really are incredible musicians and the perfect addition to any event. All of our guests have said how amazing they were. We would highly recommend you book Capella String Quartet. Thank you for making our day so special.

Capella were amazing for our wedding. We gave them some songs that they didn’t have and they did not let us down! Highly recommend. It made our day and ceremony feel magical.

Gisela played at our wedding on 19/08 and she was just amazing!! It really added that special touch we were after. She was so professional and it’s so talented all our guests absolutely loved her. The communication right from the beginning with Capella has been absolutely fantastic ans nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about booking Capella for any type of event!! Amazing.

Couldn't recommend Capella String Quartet more - they were absolutely amazing and set the scene for our wedding. Playing a real variety of songs, our guests were blown away by the atmosphere created by Capella.

Organising was very easy and professional and prompt communication throughout the whole process.

Thank you so so much, we really appreciated having you a part of our wedding.

David played at our wedding on 29th of July, for both our ceremony and our drinks reception. He was amazing! We requested he played a couple of songs during our ceremony which he was willing to do, and it made our ceremony perfect. He also had to move about a bit as our weather was changing seasons every 10mins, adapting to where the guests were. Amazing - would highly highly recommend and David is genuinely the nicest guy ever. Thank you so much!

Capella String Quartet played for our wedding (May 2023) at Cottiers in Glasgow. We had a trio play for our ceremony, where they arrived in advance ensuring everything went off without a hitch. They played our requested song to perfection, happily adapting with some last minute changes for the ceremony. They elevated the wedding adding a touch of class and sounded amazing!!

The trio then played the reception covering a range of songs, which all the guests loved. We then added on the solo violinist for dinner as background music. We would highly recommend hiring them.

He played to backing tracks and as the bride and groom are getting photos during the reception. It gave us time to appreciate the talent. It provided great entertainment that wasn’t to intrusive as they balance the violin with backing music and guests were singing along! We would highly recommend.

Thank you

I had Capella String Quartet playing at both wedding ceremony and drink reception. They were fantastic at both. We had so many of our guests saying how good the guys were and really did help make our wedding perfect.

We had our wedding on 1st June this year and had the trio play for us which was absolutely perfect for the size of our wedding.

I am so pleased we had them as the music was beautiful and they played the requested song choice which I had known I had wanted for many years for walking down the aisle and it worked beautifully.

They played during the ceremony, while the register was being signed and also for a few hours after until we were heading in for our meal.

The guests complimented on them and said how amazing they were and it was so lovely listening to them in the background while chatting to guests and having our photos taken.

Thank you so much to David, Katrina, Christoff and the rest of the Capella quartet for playing such wonderful, beautiful music at our wedding.

David played at our wedding last month and was amazing. Having him play for a few hours was a really special part of our day that our guests are still talking about. All communication etc in the run up to our wedding was spot on. Highly recommend.

Capella played at our wedding and were absolutely amazing. We loved their work, and all of our guests commented on how fantastic they were.

Couldn’t be happier we booked Capella for our wedding at House for an Art Lover. We opted for a classical set as guests arrived and throughout the ceremony, then a contemporary set during the drinks reception.

The quartet are absolutely lovely and friendly and great fun to work with, and their playing is absolutely incredible. Furthermore, David was a treat to liaise with in terms of deciding the set lists and dealing with the booking, contract and payment etc. They knew the venue well and were so quick to setup, rehearse and start performing from the second our first guest arrived.

If you’re looking for a string quartet for your wedding or other special event, I honestly couldn’t recommend Capella enough. More than worth every penny spent, and they will be a real feature of your day. Thank you so much!

Capella came to play at our wedding in December and I have to say they were absolutely amazing. All of our guests were raving about the music and they even were happy to accompany one of the bridesmaids singing for us. We also asked David to stay on and play throughout the meal as a solo violin and by the end of the dinner he had all the tables singing along with him. Their selection of music is fantastic and you are able to request a couple of songs that they will learn before the ceremony which is an extra special touch. David was also super helpful in the run up to the wedding. Book them and you wont regret it!

We had no intention of having a violinist at our wedding but we met David at an open evening at Boclair House and when I heard him playing I had to go over and chat to him. He was so friendly and answered all my questions. I told him the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to and he was able to play it to let me hear. That was me sold! It was so beautiful. Communication with David was quick and easy. He was very accommodating with us and the time frames we wanted him to play for. We enjoyed looking through his list of songs and choosing some as a playlist. He was also able to make some specific requests for our ceremony. David played beautifully during our ceremony and dinner. He was the addition we didn’t know our wedding needed and I am so glad we saw him that evening. I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone getting married. A true professional with an extraordinary talent. Thank you so much. Debra & Niall x

We booked the "solo violin with piano backing track" option for our wedding and we were blown away by how amazing David was. So many guests were singing his praises and our 4 year old daughter was in her element dancing along to the music. We can't wait to get our DVD so we can hear all our ceremony music again. Thanks again David!

David played at my wedding ceremony and he was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Wide repertoire and open to suggestions, excellent and prompt communication and the music was beautiful on the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- thank you David!

Capella String Quartet are simply brilliant! I can not recommend them highly enough. They recently played at our wedding ceremony and the sound of the strings was wonderful in the church. Capella played Nella Fantasia as I walked up the aisle and it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes 🥰 🎻. The group also played at our canapé reception and our guests said just how much they enjoyed the music. I just wished I had more time to enjoy listening to them on our very special day which raced by! Thank you to each of you. Best wishes from Richard and Harpreet x

An absolutely amazing addition To our wedding day, thank you so much.

Highly recommend. We used Capella for our wedding in Oct 2022. David was very professional, reliable and helpful during all communications prior to the day (even with some of my last minute emails). Song requests were no bother. On the day it was clear we had booked amazingly talented musicians. Great for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests loved it as well! Couldn’t have picked better.

We hired Capella for our wedding in July 2022 and they made our wedding day extra special. We are so glad we opted to have them as part of our day. David was extremely helpful and friendly during the run up to the day. All our guest commented on how wonderful and unique Capella were! We would highly recommend them to anyone getting married or having a special event.

We had the pleasure of having Capella at our wedding last weekend. The musicians were so friendly and professional, and we along with all our guests enjoyed their performance very much! Many thanks again, Laurena and Patrick 👍💖

David was our solo violinist for our wedding in September 2022 and it was beautiful, it really set the mood for our wedding and all the guests loved him! We asked for a few different song requests and David was more than happy to do anything we liked as well as keeping in touch with us throughout. Thank you David! We can’t wait to work with you again.

Lauren & Jamie Hart xx

Can't recommend these talented musicians enough. They played for our family and friends for 4 hours at our celebration of Love & Life at the gorgeous House for an Art Lover in Glasgow. Everyone was blown away by the variety of the music which appealed to all ages and tastes - in particular my 9 month old granddaughter! We were all captivated and yet it didn't distract from us being together and mixing and chatting. Thank you for making our celebration so so special.

It’s hard to put into words in how amazing these guys were, I initially met David in 2018 at a wedding fayre, and new straight away I wanted them for my wedding, unfortunately I had to cancel my wedding twice and had it this year in July 2022, There was several emails between myself and David and they were always answered so promptly and couldn’t have been anymore helpful and reassuring , I had Capella play for guests arriving , for me walking down the aisle, I chose poppiholla by chicane and it sounded amazing , I then had them collaborate with my band singer to play power of love while he sang , and that was another WOW, they continued to play for my guests during photos and everyone just loved the songs they played too, later on after the meal I had more of an electric set done by them, which included more dance type music , this just got the guests all ready for the evening and I’m so glad I booked this part, everyone still talks about them, they are professional, and incredible musicians and most of all lovely friendly people, thanks for making my day perfect x

Such quality music even managing to serenade our alpacas at Emily and Andrew’s wedding

Capella SQ were absolutely amazing on our wedding day and really blew our guests away with their versatile arrangements and the quality of their performance. Their communication was so prompt and efficient and David gave us great advice on what music would work well with our day.

Capella played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and were amazing. Such a perfect part of our day and would highly recommend!

We booked Capella to play at our wedding in April 2021, however, due to covid we had to reschedule our wedding until April 2022. David was so helpful from our first email to all the emails changing dates and selecting the music we wanted them to play for our guests. I highly recommend Capella for events to anyone, our guests complimented them to both my husband and I all day and well into our evening. The quality of work these guys produce is outstanding and I cannot wait to get our videos back to hear their music all over again. Was lovely to listen to them playing while we were having our photos taken too as it made it all go by so quickly. Will definitely book Capella for future events. Thank you all so much again Mr & Mrs Quinney.

The guys were absolutely incredible at our wedding Sat 18th June 2022 at Ingliston. It’s such a subtle thing to have at your wedding but makes a massive impact, everyone commented on how good you were and how special you made it.

Thank you very much

Bryan & Lauren

Capella played at my wedding ceremony and drinks reception last week and they were fantastic. It was the perfect addition to our wedding and they played our aisle song perfectly- thank you so much!

I had the privilege of working with these so talented musicians recently while conducting a wedding ceremony, their repertoire is outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone who is considering having something special music wise for their wedding.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Capella are amazing, I hired them for my wedding and i cannot thank them enough they have such diverse music that it sets the mood no matter the style you are looking for. Thank you all again

Capella outstanding perfomance at my wedding at the weekend. Previously I came across them at my brothers wedding a few years back. Beautiful music and fantastic feedback from the guests. They loved all the chosen songs played so well. I absoutley loved my track whilst walking down the aisle ❤️ which i have replayed a number of times thanks to a friend who managed to take a video.
The team was great and David was awesome. Kept in touch all the way upto the wedding and once again i will continue to recommend. Thank you!!

Thank you so much to you all for making our ceremony and drinks reception so amazing with your beautiful music. It brought such a lovely feel to our ceremony at the Cathedral. You were a pleasure to deal with, so helpful and accommodating. We added you on after our first cancellation and it was the best decision 🥰. You played so perfectly with our amazing singer 🤍. Love Dawn and James (01/04/22) x

We hired the Capella String Quartet for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! They played such a range of songs and it added such a wonderful atmosphere to our whole day. We had many comments that people felt like they were in Brigerton and couldn't believe how beautiful the music was. Capella played throughout our day and were really flexible with what songs we wanted. During our wedding service when we were signing the register it took a bit longer than we expected- no problem they were on hand to play another wonderful piece of music to cover the time without any hesitation. We also loved the electric set that they did at the end of the day before the band took over- something fun and different! A special thank you to David who we met beforehand to organise all the music. Highly highly recommend.

The beautiful music played by The Capella string trio at our wedding at Boclair House Hotel was truly the icing on the cake for our special day we really can recommend them! We wondered if we were being over indulgent initially but we are so glad we booked them in advance and they were still available! They arranged Aerosmith’s Don’t Want To Miss A Thing for us to walk down the aisle to which was just the perfect way to start such a romantic and unique day for us. Our guests loved the music played after the ceremony too during canapés and photographs - it was our own live concert to entertain our family and friends , many of whom are also musicians! Capella are fantastic! The extensive back catalog of pieces they were able to play was brilliant and we particularly liked the mixture of classical and contemporary music (really suited to strings!)which suited our varied musical tastes and catered to guests of all generations! Capella were also extremely good at keeping in touch by email in advance to update us as the Covid situation evolved.

The Capella played at our wedding Nov 2021..Wow such skilled musicians, the range of music these musicians can play is unreal. They where honestly outstanding. If you are thinking of booking do it. So professional through out the whole process we had many dates due to covid and each time they were on the ball to help us out. Really down to earth people our guests could not stop talking about the Capella. Incredible....Book Now

We hired Capella to play at our wedding - they were absolutely fantastic. Capella were friendly, professional and very quick to responding to all of my queries in the run up to the wedding. Capella were accommodating, supporting pretty much every song I suggested for my aisle walk, even agreeing to time a particular song for my exact entrance.

I cannot fault anything - my guests also loved them and kept commenting on how great they were while playing our drinks reception. Thank you Capella for making our day so wonderful.

We booked Capella String Quartet to play during our wedding day at Crossbasket Castle and they were incredible! They played all of our song requests (a number of which wasn’t on their original list) and many of our guests commented on how amazing they were. Thank you again for helping to make our wedding day so special.

I booked Capella to play at our wedding ceremony and so glad I did. they sounded fantastic and looked so happy whilst playing. Would highly recommend.

Thank you to David & the rest of the string quartet. Recently played at our wedding ceremony. Sounded fantastic on the day & fantastic communication on the lead up. Look forward to hearing you play at our reception in August. Just fab.
