We booked Scintillo for our Wedding in October 2021 & they were outstanding.
From the moment we booked them, they were thoroughly professional & responsive. They have an extensive repertoire of music, but we wanted our favourite song to be played for the procession which wasn’t on their list but they were happy to accommodate & learn it & absolutely nailed it.
They added that extra bit of atmosphere to the day that we wanted & aswell as being a professional outfit, they were all lovely people and you didn’t see them without a smile on their faces which makes all the difference.

We had Scintillo string quartet perform various music from their repertoire throughout the whole wedding day. They were so professional and performed at such a high standard. We were also so lucky to have them perform our first dance. Highly recommended. Very reasonably priced. Perfect finishing touch to our wedding day.

We had Scintillo String Quartet play at during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in July 2021 at Easton Grange. Chris goes above and beyond with any request and was so attentive from my first enquiry! The music is absolutely beautiful and everything we ever wished for, all of our guests loved it! Chris, Beth, Isobel and Yan Yi you’re so talented, thank you so much!

After walking around our wedding venue (Easton Grange Wedding Venue) we were enraptured with the music playing over the audio system. We contacted Chris and to our delight they were available! They were happy to accommodate all the music choice my wife provided and were even happy to sneak into the venue as a surprise for our guests. Everyone enjoyed the live music and made comments about how beautiful it sounded. Thank you for making the start of our day wonderful and full of joy.

Scintillo played the most beautiful pieces of music for our church service, with such professionalism, our guests continue to comment on how romantic it felt having them play. With the COVID restrictions for singing, they were so flexible and more than happy to have my friend sing with them as they played the hymns. It was also a lovely touch that we could choose music that was not in their repertoire list, Chris did an amazing job arranging the music.
We had a string trio (Violin, Viola and Cello - we could choose this) instead of the quartet, which worked so well in the church we had.

We had a wonderful experience with Scintillo! We were introduced during a open day at our chosen wedding venue and didn't hesitate in booking Scintillo straight away after we heard them play. Our dream was to have a quartet during our wedding ceremony and it was just perfect.
They are extremely talented, and we can't recommended them enough.
I also just want to thank Chris and the team for making not only our ceremony perfect, but for being so kind and patient, given we had to move our wedding due to Covid three times! The whole experience from start to finish with you all was a joy and we will

Scintillo played for our wedding in June and we couldn’t have been happier! They had an extensive selection of music to choose from and Chris was able to guide us in our choices to ensure that there was something to suit everyone’s taste. They were professional and accommodating the whole way through - even with our four date changes due to COVID! Our guests all commented on how amazing the music was! Thank you!

My wife and I are big music lovers and always knew that music would play a big part of our day - in reality this was more so than we ever anticipated.
We were initially impressed by Scintillo's varied repertoire; hymns, classical pieces and more modern tunes - they really do have something for everyone.
My wife and I had a church wedding at the end April. We surprised our guests with Scintillo playing before and during the ceremony. Given the restrictions in place at the time, we were not allowed to sing hymns. Instead Scintillo played 4 pieces throughout the ceremony. This created so much joy

Scintillo played at my wedding in November 2019 and I honestly could not recommend them enough.
My sister had them play at her wedding, and after that we decided we needed to have them at ours.
Prior to the wedding, they were in contact with us to go over what we wanted, they arrived on the day dead on time (I even got to see them before we went into the ceremony) and during the reception and wedding breakfast they played beautifully. So many guests commented on how amazing they were and they definitely gained a few more fans that day!
Thank you for everything, we will recommend you wherever
