Testimonials

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.

Truly can’t recommend Capella enough. They were incredible during our wedding dinner. They learned the Ashokan fairwell upon request and had all of my family in tears as it’s a very sentimental song for us. Incredible.

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.

We got married on the 27th of March 2026 at Brig O’Doon House Hotel and had Capella String Quartet for our big day (music pre-ceremony for guest arrival, during the ceremony [processional, during signing and recessional] and post ceremony during drinks reception). Safe to say we would recommend David and his quartet to anyone, what a beautiful and special addition to our day!

To say that CSQ elevated our wedding day is simply an understatement, the quartet are so experienced that their musical ability is natural and flawless - this really shines through when you hear them play. As the bride, I absolutely had a lump in my throat as soon as I heard the quartet start to play my song for coming down the aisle. Hearing your favourite songs as a couple being played by such an experienced quartet is simply beautiful, emotional and the best way to celebrate a day filled with love and beautiful music.

The feedback from our guests reflects this, so many comments around how amazing the quartet were, hearing well known songs played in classical style as very classy and providing a level of gravitas to such a special milestone day.

The repertoire that CSQ have is what initially drew us towards contacting David, it is almost unbelievable how many songs the quartet can play and the list is ever growing! Even if something is not on their repertoire David and his quartet are willing to learn new songs too which allows your day or event to be personalised and even more special.

As soon as we first made contact with David we knew we had made the right choice, a great communicator who ensures that everything was in order in the lead up to your big day. We knew from the start that we were in the very best hands (the countless exemplary reviews speak for themselves).

If you are considering a quartet as a musical addition to your wedding day (or any event for that matter) my best advice is don’t delay, contact David, and book Capella String Quartet. You will absolutely not regret it!

All that is left to say is thank you so much (again) to David and Capella String Quartet!

Best wishes,

Natalie & Garry

We had Capella recently play during our ceremony and drinks reception and it was truly amazing. You are all insanely talented and the variety of music helped keep the mood up during the drinks reception. Thank you for taking on our requests also and playing the still game theme tune for us haha.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Capella String Quartet play at our wedding, and they were truly exceptional from start to finish. From our very first interaction, they were incredibly warm, professional, and easy to communicate with, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.
They were more than happy to accommodate all of our requests and went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly how we envisioned. On the day itself, their performance was simply magnificent—beautifully played, elegant, and the perfect addition to our celebration.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Capella String Quartet to anyone looking to add something truly special to their event.

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!

Is there anything better than live music?? When we booked Capella, we were sent a list of songs to choose from and they had everything you could imagine from classical to country music. The team are true masters of their craft and did not disappoint. The strings added that touch of class to our ceremony and drinks reception and we would encourage everyone to book them. If we weren't busy getting married, we could have listened to them all day.

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!

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!

Capella quartet played our set throughout our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Oran Mor. Absolutely faultless throughout the day. Well rehearsed and extremely polished musicians. A pleasure to listen to and a great supplier to work with during what can be a stressful period of planning. Hope to work with you all again in the future. Highly Recommended!!

We hired capella string quartet for our wedding on the 27/3/25 and we are so happy we did! They were absolutely amazing and had a huge variety of songs for us to pick from! People especially loved the hobbit theme song and they disney covers and everything in-between! All the guests really loved it and so did we! Couldn't have been more helpful and professional would definitely recommend for any occasion.

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! Georgia & Ashley x

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 !

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.
