Dolce Strings provided a magnificent quartet for our daughter and son-in-laws wedding celebration, with music played throughout the afternoon and early evening. Highly skilled and enjoyable to listen to, I had numerous comments from guests about how lovely their contribution was. Thank you Dolce Strings for adding a sophisticated sparkle to our day of celebration.
We would not hesitate to ask Dolce Strings to support future events.
Fantastic.......really made the Church Service extra Special!
Ines and all of Dolce Strings (formerly Grazia Strings) were fantastic. Really enjoyed the music. Thank you all! :)
Dolce Strings (formerly Grazia Strings) String Quartet were fantastic playing at our wedding. The music was excellent, and they were very professional. We couldn't be happier.
"Everyone loved the music our trio played. They were a great addition to the ambience and, dare I say, class of the event.
Flexible too.
Steve"
They were excellent. I'd wanted background for the first set whilst guests were talking then they changed dress and tempo for the lively second set. Many guests told me they had enjoyed the performance. I would happily hire them again when the occasion merits.
We booked Dolce Strings for our wedding in November and they sounded absolutely incredible. They played at the church venue and I'd definitely recommend the quartet in the church if you want to fill the room.
Booking was seamless and they were more than happy to play a few songs that were not on their repertoire. They also gladly repeated any songs that we missed and they provided an amazing ambience at our drinks reception too.
100% recommend Dolce Strings and thanks again for making our day incredible!
We hired a string duo from Dolce strings to play to welcome our guests, during our ceremony and post ceremony. They were absolutely flawless. They made my boho-bridgerton wedding dreams come true. They learned quite an obscure song for us for my entrance song and I’ll never forget the feeling when I heard it when I was about to enter the ceremony room, I’m so grateful to them for that moment! Also, hearing such a gorgeous rendition of ‘wildest dreams’ by Taylor Swift when we were signing the register is now one of my top life moments! An absolute dream and pleasure to communicate with and the best decision we made for our wedding day - if you are on the fence about whether you need a string duo/quartet at your wedding, get off it! You definitely do and you need these lovely, insanely talented people! Thank you so much
Where can we even begin to say thank you to Dolce Strings who performed at our wedding in Liverpool in August 2022!
The ladies surpassed all expectations and left our guests in awe of their talent, skill and professionalism! We can safely say that they added that something very special to the ceremony in Church and while our guests were eating. They were beyond outstanding and we couldn't recommend these ladies enough for your special day! We wanted to include three songs in the ceremony that were not on the list the quartet usually perform. Without hesitation Ines and the team learnt all three and liaised with our wedding singer so that everything was amazing and personal to us!
Thank you so much for everything!
We added Dolce Strings to play at our wedding on 10.12.21 after postponing several times. Well what can I say, they were one of our favourite parts of our day! We asked for a mix of Disney, Coldplay and Queen, they played it so perfectly and everyone commented how brilliant they were! They were truly lovely to communicate with prior to the event and I would recommend them to anyone!
Dolce Strings played at our wedding at Thornton Manor on 27th November and we honestly can’t thank them enough! They were so professional and played wonderfully. We have received numerous compliments from our guests, many of whom enjoyed playing ‘guess the tune’ as Dolce Strings played current music, as well as more traditional pieces. Thank you for making our wedding magical!
Dolce Strings played at our wedding in November 2021 in the Lake District. They were very professional in their response leading up to the big day and were able to answer any inquiries quickly, they even added a song to their repertoire for us to walk down the aisle to which was a lovely personal touch. On the day they arrived in a timely manor and played beautifully. All of our guest commented how wonderful they sounded. They interacted with guests and were very friendly, their music is very high standard and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to add a bit of musical bliss to their wedding day. Thank you very much for your talents.
Dolce Strings played at my wedding November 2021. They we’re fabulous. So easy to book and the communication between them and myself prior to our wedding was great and very helpful. On the day they set up in the room the ceremony was taking place and played on my entrance, signing and exit, it real made this moment special. After that they moved to another room with the reception and played for a further hour, playing a mixer of classical and modern music. Everyone commented on how good they were and I have already passed on their details to some of my guest. I can’t praise them enough they made my wedding day stand out.

I booked Dolce Strings for my wedding in September 2021. The music was really enjoyed by all and I particularly enjoyed their rendition of Blink 182's 'All the small things' as we walked down the aisle after getting married - as did our younger cousins! Would highly recommend booking to anyone looking for a string quartet at their event!
"Dolce Strings (formerly Grazia Strings) played at my daughter's wedding recently. The girls arrived early, played as the guests entered and then played ""Perfect"" by Ed Sheeran for my daughter to walk down the aisle to and it was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future!"
We have recently booked Dolce Strings (formerly Grazia Strings) for our wedding. I was really impressed with how they sounded and their choice of music was exactly what we wanted, they played a mixture of modern songs as well as old classics and film music. Their communication was excellent from the start, they were very quick to reply and answer all our questions. Thank you so much!
You were just beautiful. The song as I walked in blew me away and all the way through the music was tingly and gorgeous. We loved you, very professional. You did an incredible job. Thank you for being part of our most memorable and cherished day. Thanks again.
We had these lovely ladies to play at our daughter's wedding, they were amazing, everyone loved listening to their music. From first contact, communication has been very good, and I would definitely recommend them.
