Testimonials

David from Capella was absolutely incredible! His solo violin performance during our ceremony and cocktail reception was amazing. He played a great selection of songs and truly helped make those moments feel even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our day!

Capella String Quartet added such an amazing ambiance to the day. They played such beautiful music and it just added such a magical quality to our day. The team was really communicative, and loved how extensive their song list is. If I could do it over again, I would have booked them to play even longer. It was truly a joy to have them play our wedding and I wish I could have had a videographer just to record the beautiful music they played.

David was amazing to work with, he had great communication skills and made us both feel at ease. He easily accommodated us when we asked to extend the booking to throughout dinner and we’re so happy that we did this. All the songs were exactly what we wanted and all of our guests loved listening to David throughout the day.
I would 100% recommend Capella to be part of your big day. You will not be disappointed!

Cannot recommend David enough! Seen him perform at my bestfriends wedding 2 years ago and from then knew I needed him at my wedding!
From the moment he got there the vibes were immaculate and had everyone up dancing and singing right through the meal!
Guests haven’t stopped talking about him since he really made our day!

Thanks again David ☺️

Capella were absolutely fantastic to have playing our ceremony and drinks reception music on our wedding day. All of the guests were commenting on how wonderful they were, with a mix of classic songs, modern pop, TV and movie themes, there was something to enjoy for all ages! They also learned 2 of our own song requests which we were delighted to hear on the day. They are so professional and the communication in the lead up to the big day was seamless. A highlight of the day we will never forget. Thank you so much!

We cannot recommend Capella String Quartet highly enough! 🤍

They were absolutely incredible at our wedding at Carlowrie Castle in June 2026 and created such a beautiful atmosphere throughout the day.

They played for our guest arrival, wedding ceremony, and drinks reception, and every moment was simply perfect. Walking down the aisle to live string music was such a special memory that we will treasure forever.

They were so talented, professional, and lovely to deal with in the lead-up to the wedding. Thank you so much for being part of our day and creating such wonderful memories for us and our guests. We would highly recommend Capella String Quartet! 🤍

Great booking experience, everything was so easy in preparation for the wedding. Absolutely loved hearing the violinist at our wedding. Such beautiful music. Highly recommend.

Our violinist was absolutely incredible and added such a special touch to our wedding day. He played throughout our ceremony and drinks reception creating a beautiful atmosphere.
The music really set the tone for the day and made every moment feel so emotional. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was.
I can’t recommend enough! Huge thank you for making our day so special.

By far one of the best choices we made for our wedding. David was very friendly and he is super talented. David played our songs for the bridesmaids and for my wife walking down the aisle and played for the guests during photos and honestly the thing everyone comments on first even 2 weeks after the wedding is how amazing David was. I heard David was taking song requests as well and that made it even more entertaining for our guests and everyone really loved David’s playing. We can’t thank David enough for playing such a massive and memorable part of our wedding and I would recommend David massively if you are looking for a violinist for your big day. Do not sleep on it as it’s a game changer for a wedding.

Such wonderful music - made our wedding such a special event for everyone.

David was amazing, super talented and friendly. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing they were and we loved hearing them play. Capella have so many songs to pick from and even played a couple additional songs I picked out, nothing was any trouble and I would highly recommend.

David and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Communication was quick and friendly. Was super happy with the music during our ceremony and cocktail hour. So pleased I booked, thank you so much for making our day extra special 🩷

Capella were absolutely incredible at our wedding! Their song choices were absolutely spot on. During dinner, it was so much fun watching our guests light up as they worked out the instrumental tune and started singing along. Beyond being exceptionally talented, the musicians themselves were incredibly warm, friendly, and approachable. So many of our guests came up to tell us how amazing they were and how much they elevated the vibe of the entire day. If you want to take your wedding to the next level, book them immediately!

David played the solo violin at our wedding and I can't thank him enough. He was very professional and played amazingly. Many wedding guests complimented on his skill with the violin. Would highly recommend 😊

About a year ago i started searching for a string quartet that was supposed to be a surprise not only for our family and friends, but also for my wife.
After a lot of research and a struck of good luck, i decided to go with Capella String Quartet. This alone was one of the best decisions i have ever made.
As one could imagine, arranging a surprise ceremony was not an easy task, but a highly customized and rigid surprise ceremony was on a totally different level.
Not only was David totally on board with the whole project, but he was also one of the most helpful, kindhearted, accomodating and understanding people i had ever come across. Now matter how weird my requests got towards the end, he did his best to accomodate and he never ever made me feel like the amateur that i was compared to him and his colleagues.
I will forever be in David's and his colleagues' debt, and the memory of their kind hearts will always be weaved into our wedding's story.
There are a lot of string quartets out there to choose from, but if i would go back in time 100 times, i would choose them every single one of those times.
And if you decide to book them, do yourselves a favour: actually take thebtime and listen to them - i promise you, they are worth it.

We went back and forth for a while on whether to have Capella String Quartet as part of our wedding day, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. Their music was absolutely magical and created such a beautiful atmosphere, making our ceremony even more memorable and emotional.

David and the team were fantastic from start to finish - professional, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions we had throughout the planning process. They even took the time to learn a special song request for us, which made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and unique.

The music was flawless, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful they were, with several asking for their details afterwards. Capella String Quartet added something truly special to our day, and we cannot thank them enough. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding day that extra bit unforgettable.

We had the privilege of having Capella play at our wedding, and they were phenomenal. I tried to walk down the aisle as slowly as I could - not only to soak in the moment, but also so that I could listen to the music as long as possible!

They were so easy to work with and made the process of selecting our songs so simple... and then to hear them perform live! It was really a dream come true, and made our wedding day so much more special. We're grateful we had the opportunity to book them for our big day!

We booked the string trio to play at our wedding at Carlowrie Castle. David, Christoff, and Emily were nothing short of amazing.

The team truly elevated our day and the music added a beautifully elegant sound for the ceremony, drinks reception, and dinner. It was one of the best choices we ever made for our big day!

Our guests were raving about the music and the booking process was incredibly easy. So easy, in fact, that we were able to coordinate everything from across the pond in the U.S.!

There were times I just had to stop and appreciate and trio’s music. They just sounded so amazing and added such a beautiful element to our wedding day.

Thank you David! Thank you Christoff! And thank you Emily!

We were so grateful to have Capella play for us on our wedding day at Brig o Doon. They were so professional from start to finish and our guests have said how amazing the music was, from playing us down the aisle to moving on to more upbeat songs during the drinks reception. They set the tone of the wedding beautifully. We highly recommend them to anyone thinking of booking!

We were lucky enough to have Capella String quartet play at our wedding on the 9th of May. They played as we walked down the aisle and then during our drinks reception, we had so many compliments regarding them. They really made our wedding day extra special.

We had Capella String Quartet play at our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! They really listened to what music we liked and wanted for our day and even learned some new requests for us! They were really helpful and we had so many comments on how great they were! They honestly made our day so special, especially for me walking down the aisle. A moment we won’t forget! Thank you again.

Had the pleasure of attending a wedding at the weekend where Capella provided the ceremonial music. They were wonderful, also very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.

Was such an amazing touch to our special day, we had so many compliments on the violinist who played during our ceremony and drinks reception. Would highly recommend!

Capella String Quartet were an incredible addition to our wedding day. They played before and during the ceremony, and continued right through cocktail hour, creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Their music suited the tone of the day perfectly, adding a sense of elegance and warmth from the moment guests arrived.

So many of our guests went out of their way to compliment the quartet and how much they enjoyed the music that was played. The selection was spot on—thoughtfully chosen and performed with real skill and emotion. It made each part of the day feel even more special and memorable.

We’re so glad we chose Capella String Quartet and would highly recommend them.

The Capella string quartet played at my wedding in October and wow! My guests loved the contemporary music played by strings. Every song was fantastic. The band also learned two songs that I requested and kept them a secret so they were a surprise for guests and my husband. (They were my husband’s favourites).
Organising it all was made so easy, you’re guided through all the steps so that you’re able to have the music you want. I was emailing with David who was always so responsive and helpful.
My wedding was an amazing day and Capella were one of the reasons why!

Capella is a five star group who are so talented, and who was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Our guests gave so many compliments on how the violin music worked so well with our venue and really set the tone for the day. The members of Capella were also very helpful throughout all our communication and were great at answering questions I had. I would recommend them to anyone.

David performed at our wedding on Easter Sunday 2026 and what a performance. He stole the show and all our guests couldn’t get over how great he was. The really made our ceremony so extra special and kept the vibes high at our drink reception.
Thank you so much David!

We had a string trio for our big day in November and absolutely loved it. They created such a beautiful atmosphere for the guests entering the ceremony and for the reception and we loved that we got to choose songs in advance! Communication with the team was perfect and I would highly recommend anyone looking to book strings for their wedding!
Thanks again,

Rachel

We booked the string trio for our wedding in February. They played beautifully through our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and I have to say it gave an extra special dimension to the day. All our guests loved them. Booking etc is so straightforward with excellent communication from David. My only gripe is that I didn't hear enough of them as I was outside a lot having photos taken!! If you want something "extra" on your special day I would say don't hesitate to book Capella, you won't regret it!

We loved having Capella String Quartet as part of our wedding day. They created a beautiful ambience for the ceremony and reception drinks and our guests absolutely loved the addition. We liked that we got to choose the songs for the day and it helped create the atmosphere that we wanted!
Thank you Capella.
Mr & Mrs Goodfellow

Capella did an amazing job for our wedding day! We had requested several songs not in their repertoire and even asked them to play a short part of a lullaby my dad sang to me as a child that didn’t have sheet music. They exceeded all of our expectations and also had such a fun repertoire to play for dinner. All of our guests enjoyed hearing the wide variety of music genres they played from classics to today’s pop hits. Everyone commented on how much they added to our wedding ambiance. We could not have been happier and would highly recommend them!

David was amazing, the perfect touch to our wedding day. All our guests loved listening to him he was outstanding!

We had Capella string quartet play at our wedding in December. They were fantastic and we had so many compliments on the music. We were given so much information in the planning stages and the process was so easy. David and the team took on all of our requests for music at the ceremony and drinks reception. They were so professional throughout. We would highly recommend Capella to anyone looking for wedding strings

Setting things up, customizing, and planning was so easy it added zero stress to our day. The music was wonderful, couldn’t have asked for more!

David and the Capella String Quartet team was the greatest touch to add to our wedding day! David was communicative and had an extensive list of songs to choose from. We had a special request for our wedding day and shared it with David to see if it would be possible for them to learn and play. David and the team not only learned the song, but also shared with us how much they enjoyed the song we choose and how excited they were to play it for us.

As wedding days get busy for the bride and groom we were unable to enjoy the live music as we were away trying to capture our photos before the sun set, our guests were able to enjoy the music during our drinks reception.

However, when we had a moment we were able to have David and his team come play our song while our photographers and videographers capture us dancing.

We were so happy to work with David and wish we had more time to enjoy watching him and the team perform!

Absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, whole process from enquiry to on the day, couldn't have had a better experience.
Would (and have) completely recommend to anybody.

We booked the trio for our ceremony and drinks reception at Dunglass and it was absolutely beautiful! I was so happy to hear 'la vie en rose' playing from afar as I was walking towards the church, it was perfect!
A lot of our guests have commented on how good the trio were! Thank you so much for contributing to our special day!
I would highly recommend the Capella String Quartet.

We hired Capella string quartet to play for us for our wedding ceremony and our drinks reception and they were absolutely fantastic! They learnt 2 new songs which we were so impressed by and the overall organisation, professionalism and performance was just incredible!

I first saw David play at The Scottish Weddinf Show and knew instantly we needed to book him! David was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We had our wedding on the 1st of October at Kinmount house, and David was unbelievable. The whole planning process was seamless and easy, and David put us right at ease. He played beautifully during our ceremony and drinks reception- and even recorded my walking down the aisle song for my content creator on the day. We had so many compliments, and it truly was amazing to have live music during our day. Would recommend David and the Capella team in a heartbeat!

A masterpiece from start to finish. Lovely music from lovely people. Just look at their repertoire on their website. That tells you everything. Absolutely beautiful and highly recommended to everyone who enjoys listening to their favourite music choice, in strings. The wedding guests absolutely loved and enjoyed listening to Capella on our special day. Ten out of Ten.

Would highly recommend! The guests were blown away by Gisela she was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! We had a mix of music to suit everyone during and after the ceremony. I’m just gutted I didn’t get to hear more. David and the team at Capella String Quartet were so easy to deal with. The communication was on point and zero stress! If you are looking for this type of classy entertainment you won’t be disappointed. 10/10!

We booked the string trio to play our wedding day and they were incredible. They learnt our aisle songs which was extremely special. The trio played our ceremony and drinks reception and we loved hearing a mix of modern and classic songs while mingling with family and friends. We cannot recommend them enough for your special day!

David played at our wedding at Boclair House Hotel on the 5th October 2025. Pre wedding the contact with David and the Capella team was first class - answering all questions and queries to ensure that we were put at ease and allowed us to make the day completely personable for us. On the day David was absolutely superb from pre-ceremony through to the reception - matching the mood and music which we hoped the full time. We couldn't recommend the Capella String Quartet anymore - you won't be disappointed!

We had David with us on our wedding day, from ceremony through the cocktail hour…the music was so perfect. We all felt the emotion during the ceremony as the music was so beautiful and then lots of fun and laughter at our cocktail hour. Capella is so professional and kept in touch with us throughout our preparations up to our wedding day!! We were extremely impressed on the day and can’t thank you enough, bringing our music choices to life and adding a real special touch to our day.

Capella were amazing at our wedding - many of our guests commented on how fantastic they were. Highly recommend for any event!

We had the string trio play on our wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. The strings played as guests mingled/found their seats before the ceremony, during our registrar signing and then throughout the entire drinks reception. The entire process from booking to the day was smooth, easy and stress free. From roughly 4 weeks before we chose a handful of songs to play during specific parts of our day and I had noted that we were big Disney fans so a lot of Disney was played. Many compliments from our guests really set in stone how happy we were in our decision to book Capella! If you are undecided on whether you need strings on your wedding day, let this be your decider to do it, you won’t be disappointed!!!

We first heard one of the Capella soloists perform at the Brig o’ Doon wedding fayre and instantly knew we had to have them play on our big day. They fit perfectly with the fairytale vibe of Brig o’ Doon and brought such a magical atmosphere to our wedding.

From the very beginning, communication with David was so easy. He even arranged a Zoom call with us to talk through our ideas and help us decide how best to include them in our day. In the end, we chose the String Trio for our ceremony and David himself as a solo violinist during our dinner — and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

They were so flexible with song choices, even learning new pieces that weren’t in their repertoire so I could surprise my husband-to-be with a message from our little girl, as well as some meaningful songs to be played before I walked down the aisle. When I finally heard my aisle song played live, it hit me right in the feels — it was honestly magical.

Capella set up in the gardens for our photos, then moved indoors for the drinks reception, playing everything from classical music to chart hits. During dinner, David brought incredible energy as a solo violinist, and our guests absolutely loved him — we could hardly eat because we were too busy dancing! He even took requests, which went down a treat with everyone.

If you’re considering booking Capella, it’s a huge YES from me. They are unbelievably talented and added such a special, fun, and emotional touch to our day. I can’t thank them enough.

We were debating how to manage playlists for signing and cocktails when we saw David playing an open evening at our venue. He was so good and the music was perfect, we went home and booked within a couple of days. All communication was great and David was so wonderful on the day, so many of our guests commented. Don’t hesitate, book Capella, it was one of our best decisions. Thanks so much David.

We had Capella String Quartet play at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception, and they were absolutely incredible!! We corresponded with David before the wedding to select the songs we definitely wanted to be played, and he was always so friendly and lovely to speak to. The music played on our wedding day was absolutely beautiful! From classical to modern hits, we loved hearing the variety of songs being played on the strings, and had so many guests come to us saying how much they enjoyed the music!
Thank you to David and the Capella team for making our wedding day extra special :)

In April, David played our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow, and was so incredible!

Before booking Capella, we initially toyed with the idea of just having a track playing when I walked down the aisle, while we signed our papers, once we walked back up the aisle etc… But we’re so glad we didn’t. Having songs you love played live, so beautifully, on the violin, is honestly unmatched.

The music at our drinks reception was also so lovely, with a great mix of modern and classic music, keeping everyone entertained and in awe. So beautiful, thanks so much again David! 🎻

The Capella string trio played at our wedding during the ceremony and drinks reception. We were given an extensive list prior to our wedding we could pick from and we were able to choose some of our own songs too so there was an amazing variety of music played. The weather was really sunny so the trio played outside as guests socialised and had drinks and canapés which made for a really lovely reception. Very responsive to emails, friendly, professional and played such an important role in our day - we couldn’t have chosen anyone better and we loved having Capella at our wedding, we would thoroughly recommend!

Capella played at our ceremony and drinks reception at our recent wedding at Cornhill Castle. We went for the string trio and they were just brilliant and so talented. Having live music right from the beginning really set the perfect tone for the day! I’ll truly never forget hearing them play my entrance song right before I walked down the aisle. The booking process and communication on selected songs was also super slick and easy, which we really appreciated. Thanks so much!

One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was using Capella for our ceremony and drinks reception music. David was absolutely amazing, so professional and the communication throughout was flawless. Our guests loved the music, as did we! Nothing was too much for David and if you are considering a violinist at your wedding - absolutely do it and 100% go for Capella. Thank you so much again!

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

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!

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

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!

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 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
Kyle & Sasha (The Finns)

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

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 👍💖

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

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

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.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

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 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.
