In the event, I need not have worried, The breadth of their repertoire meant it was possible to pick a mix of contemporary and classic tunes and the feedback from guests was universally positive. Sarah, Diana and Nigel were terrific! The booking process was easy and especially helpful to be able see costs without further enquiry. Communications with Clare at Alive Network was first class and direct contact with the Trio made the whole experience stress free. My wife loved it and I’d recommend them unreservedly. ” Read more

Set within the enchanting inner courtyard, their music seemed to float effortlessly through the ancient stone walls, creating an atmosphere that was both elegant and deeply atmospheric. Their repertoire struck a perfect balance—timeless classical pieces interwoven with beautifully arranged contemporary selections—each performed with precision, warmth, and genuine artistry. The acoustics of the courtyard enhanced every note, allowing the richness of the strings to resonate without ever overwhelming conversation. What truly set them apart was their sensitivity to the setting and occasion. They didn’t simply perform; they elevated the entire experience, providing a sophisticated yet inviting backdrop that encouraged guests to linger, connect, and savour the moment. It was a masterclass in understated excellence—refined, polished, and utterly memorable.” Read more
