"Devon Air Ambulance
4tissimo String Quartet are such a pleasure to listen to with an extensive playlist. We were so delighted to have them come along to perform at Devon Air Ambulance's 25th anniversary private party. Would highly recommend for any event or occasion. Could have listened to them play all day!"
“4tissimo were fabulous and really made the wedding extra special for us. We saw the lead musician (Kim) at her home and she made some very helpful suggestions on the music. Their outstanding rendition of the Game of Thrones theme during the signing of the register became a talking point. A real class act and I thoroughly recommend them
"Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. You were absolutely brilliant! The music was so memorable and the touch you brought to the wedding was unique. I don't think anyone will ever forget when ""Concerning Hobbits' was played. You all looked and performed absolutely amazingly! Thank you so much and we will recommend you highly to anyone who needs that extra touch at their wedding!
Mr and Mrs Bryant- Mount Edgecumbe, Cornwall"
"Just a quick note to say how wonderful it was to have you play at our wedding last weekend. It made the ceremony so special and loads of people have said how lovely the music was. Thank you so very much.

4tissimo played at our ceremony and wedding breakfast and I can't praise and recommend them enough! Not just wonderful professional musicians, but also very lovely people, who made our wedding day extra special! We spoke to Kim over the phone before the wedding, she made sure that we have discussed everything, gave me few advices, and on the day absolutely everything ran smoothly and to the plan!! I can highly recommended 4tissimo to everyone looking for a bespoke musical accompaniment for the most classy events! Sophistication and amusement are guaranteed!
"Dear 4tissimo Musicians
We would like to say thank you very much for being part of our wedding day at Tregenna Castle on Sunday 9th April 2017.
Myself, Adam and our guests were delighted with the range of music you provided during our special day. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to your excellent service and efforts. I have expressed these high opinions in the Simply Wedding Awards too.
Good luck 4tissimo!
Lucy and Adam"
My wife and I had 4tissimo play for our wedding reception at St. Elizabeth's House back in September last year (2016). They were absolutely fantastic! They catered for our every request, and on the day they were not only professionally turned out but their set was played faultlessly and everyone commented, and still does, how good they were and how surprising (in a good way) their repertoire was! Cannot recommend 4tissimo highly enough!
"Dear 4tissimo,
What stars you all were last night!
You made a good night out unique, the magical sparkle on a special celebration.
I will never forget my initial surprise on seeing you seated in the hall and then my utter delight on realising why you were there!
Your choice of music was spot on throughout, all executed with such grace and enthusiasm, and including so many dearly loved pieces that when I was invited to make a request, I was hard pressed to think of one you hadn't already played!
I cannot thank you enough for shining on my 60th. birthday party, and although I may not want to remember the number of years, I will certainly never forget the celebration!
My sincere thanks to you all and very best wishes,
Anna Kapff."
What can I say.... The most beautiful, atmospheric, wonderful, perfect music for our wedding day. Your Disney repertoire is absolutely fantastic, just what we were looking for. You made my dream come true of walking down the aisle to 'I see the light', we can't thank you enough. The communication from start to finish with 4tissimo was brilliant, they work so hard to give you exactly what you are looking for. Thank you from an extremely happy husband and wife xx

CEREMONIES
If you are choosing music for your ceremony you may find our list of suitable ceremony music useful. However, it is worth noting that if you are having a civil ceremony you are not allowed any music with a religious connection. You are not restricted to choosing classical music for your ceremony. Many couples choose a favourite song for the signing of the register.
Do ask if there is something you would particularly like, even if it isn't on our list. Our aim is to make your day extra special and we try to arrange special songs for you, wherever possible.
