Astral String Quartet

Honestly the best decision we made for our wedding! We had so many compliments on the music, it was just perfect. Eileen and the group were so responsive, and learned a couple of pieces of music we had our heart set on. We are only sorry we didn't get to hear more of the reception music!! Highly highly recommend Astral Strings

Astral String were friendly and easy to deal with in the build up to our wedding. They made everything stress free and straightforward, and nothing was too much. Our ceremony was small and intimate and the music created the perfect atmosphere. We felt that the music was a great investment as it gave an air of sophistication and warmth before and during the ceremony. Thank you Astral String for adding to our perfect day.

We wanted a quartet which would play string versions of our favourite contemporary songs.
Astral Strings were a pleasure to deal with. They helped us to tailor a great programme of music. They were a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, the performance was excellent, and perfectly set the tone for our big day.

"I wanted to drop you a line to say how truly grateful both myself and Rob are that you and you're talented accomplices were involved in our big day. The music was pure perfection and stirred the souls of all who joined us to witness our marriage. It served to set the a beautiful tone for the entire ceremony from that emotional moment I set foot in the church alongside my dad, to leaving it as a wife.
We were flooded with compliments throughout the day as a result, and I was so pleased to hear that so many of our guests let it be known personally to you, and indeed the choir in The Church of the Assumption in Castledermot, that they were so moved by what they heard.
I don't know what else to say except thank you for everything. Engaging with individuals with such levels of professionalism in the run up to our wedding was an absolute pleasure and having confidence in the fact that all was in hand with the music was a huge relief, most particularly when you were playing alongside our very nervous local choir for the first time.
We were thrilled with everything and I have already recommended Astral to all of my friends who are getting set to tie the knot with great confidence."

Eileen,

thank you and the rest of Astral Strings for helping our wedding to be wonderful. We all really enjoyed the music, and many friends commented on how lovely you were. Connie Gardner was really a beautiful singer. The strangest thing was that I expected to cry when you played, but a very strong feeling of calmness came over me each time you played. It really added so much to the wedding.
thank you so much, Daniel sends his thanks too.

Hi Eileen,

Just a quick mail to say thank you so much for great music. You created great atmosphere.

Thanks,

Hi Eileen,
Just a quick note to thank you and the other members of Astral for the beautiful music at our wedding on the 19th May. I was really really happy with it. I just wish I could have heard more! I'll be sure to recommend you!
Thanks again!

Dear Eileen, I did not have a chance to thank you and the other members of Astral. Everything was great and everything went exactly how we discussed. Thank you so much for taking part in our special day and making it even more special! :) Kind Regards, Naz.

The astral string quartet played at my wedding on the 27th December 2010.
It was a perfect day, the music was fabulous better than i Could have imagined!
It was just the music I picked and it sounded beautiful in the church!
I couldn't recommend them higher.
I would get married again just to hire them again!

Just a note to thank you & your musicians for the fantastic music at our wedding on 13th March. I was just sorry I couldn't hear more of it!! From the minute I stood in the church porch it sounded fantastic- Like I say, I was sorry I wasn't there to hear the settling music but I know that everyone was really impressed and my mother in law was delighted to hear the Rose of Mooncoin (haven't had time to talk to the Cork crew yet but I'm sure The Banks was even more impressive!)!! I absolutely loved "If you love me" and particularly "Jersey Girl" but the photographer kept telling me to concentrate on him & not you guys!! Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in, You were incredibly helpful from the minute I contacted you and made it all very easy. We didn't have a video but I wish that we had a recording of the music!

Thanks again,

Astral Strings provided the music for our wedding and it set the most perfect tone for the ceremony. They were a pleasure to deal with when we were picking the pieces we would like and had no problem learning and performing a new piece that we requested which they had not done before. The music was a lovely mix of classical pieces, hymns and modern songs. It was fantastic to have the option of both instrumentals and a singer using only one group. All our our guests commented on how beautiful the music was and it helped make our ceremony one of the most perfect we have every been to (even if we are biased:-)). We would highly recommend Astral Strings too anyone looking for music for their wedding. Thank you Astral Strings!! Gr?inne and Cathal.



Best wishes for 2010,

I can't recommend Astral strongly enough. They played at my wedding a couple of weeks ago in Longford and really made the ceremony. Everyone there commented on how good they were. I had them play at the church and even my uncle our priest (who is very fussy) was impressed. They played later at the reception and set a wonderful tone for the day.
