Carolan String Quartet provided the music at our wedding ceremony in July. I would highly recommend them!
Karen was extremely professional to deal with prior to the wedding. Their repertoire includes a good choice of classical and pop music.
The music was beautiful on the day and we received so many compliments from our guests!

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for making our day so special. Right from the start Karen worked with me and help to guide our music choices, she really helped to take away some of the bridal stress. Karen even recommended a wonderful vocalist for us. My guests are still taking about the music with one guest saying it was the closest she has got to heaven. Everthing was just perfect and elegant. Words cannot express our Thanks. You came highly recommended to us and we are so happy that we listened to the recommendations. Thank you so much.

Carolan String Quartet, were amazing on our wedding day and guests still talk about how great they were! We contacted them at short notice and they were very helpful and worked with our song choices, although we did give them more or less free reign on the day and we were not disappointed! My husband and I felt that they really elevated the day and set the exact tone we were looking for. We would not hesitate in recommending them.
Thanks again.

Always happy to answer important questions, and the demo CD, well we still listen to that now! :-) Our guests loved you!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trio / quartet. Thanks again!

The Carolan String Quartet were absolutely perfect at our wedding. They played such a variety of pieces, some classical and some more contemporary. They even arranged and performed a Grizzly Bear song for us upon request, which was incredible. Our family and friends all commented on how beautiful the music was. Afterwards, we received a CD of the music from our special day and I cannot recommend it enough, it really allowed us to relive the ceremony. On top of everything, they were very affordable and easy to deal with. I would absolutely recommend booking them for any wedding. They added something truly special to the day

Having just returned from Ireland, I finally have time to sit down and write to say a huge thank you for the beautiful, amazing music at our wedding. It was all perfect, and absolutely glorious, and I am so grateful to you for all your patience and advice throughout the planning period. Everyone loved the music, and you guys were outstanding. Your quartet is magnificent - thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.

The Carolan String Quartet performed at our marriage ceremony and wedding reception in July 2012 and they did a really fantastic job.They were very professional to deal with, even sending us a cd of their recordings in order to assist us with choosing music for our marriage ceremony. They played all of the pieces we requested flawlessly and created a really lovely atmosphere in the church. My husband said their beautiful music really calmed him down while he was waiting for me to arrive. Their accompaniment of our wonderful soprano, Catrina Scullion, was seemless and they really elevated everyone's spirits at and added elegance to our wedding reception. We are very grateful to them for the huge contribution they made to our wedding day and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

I wanted to send a quick email as the honeymoon is over and its back to reality tomorrow. You guys were fantastic on the day, we picked slightly different music, but you really made it work. Many people have commented on how great the music was and the quality of the sound. So I want to say thank you very much and that I would have no problem recommending you to anyone else. Thanks again!

Hi Karen, I just wanted to thank you and all of the Carolan Quartet for making our wedding ceremony absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed your music so much and a lot of our guests commented on how much you added to the ceremony. I absolutely loved 'I could have Danced all Night' and I think when you played 'When I'm 64' at the end and everyone laughed and clapped, was the highlight of the whole day for me. Thank you again. You made the ceremony perfect, and I made sure to pass your name to other future brides and bridesmaids who were at the wedding. Best wishes!
