Testimonials

We thank you for having us for your Special Occasions. Here are some recent moments in 2024

Hi Katrina

Just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You for the beautiful music you and the Carinya Team gave us on Saturday night. Your music started our night on a lovely note (excuse the pun!) and there were only complimentary comments from our guests. Thanks again and see you at the next annual dinner!

"Hi Katrina and Carinya, 

We were SO very very blessed to have your trio play at our wedding. Your communication on the lead up was amazing, especially given such short notice. All of our guests agreed that it was the perfect accompaniment to our ceremony and we are so glad you were available for us. I specifically remember that there was a point during the service (the signing of the register i believe?) that we had not planned any music for but your team took initiative and filled the silence and i was so so happy! I will always look back and appreciate the special touch that was your beautiful music on our beautiful day. You were amazing and i cant wait to hear you play again in the future - I will definitely be recommending you to anyone and everyone <3

With a full heart and many many thanks,
Sharlea and Frank
Xx"

"I booked Carinya Strings (Trio) for my wife's 50th birthday. I had a special request due to her medication condition that they were only too happy to accommodate. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and be ready to start on time. The performance was literally amazing. There was only my wife and l and the musicians (see attached photo) and it was a moving and intimate event. They not only performed the set list (which was a bit short due to my musical ignorance) but also added in their own suggestions which were marvelous. In addition they engaged my wife in conversation (she is a qualified violinist herself) and really went that extra mile to make her birthday something special. It was something l decided to do for my wife, but l personally was also blown away. My wife, who would know, said they were very good, and they certainly sounded that to me. It is something l will always remember and treasure and l would not hesitate to encourage anyone thinking of doing something special like this to consider Carinya Strings at the top of your list."

"Dear Carinya Strings

Wow! We just wanted to let you know that you were one of our best suppliers! On our Wedding Day, we had 4 highly-skilled musicians, and recognised the faces from your website. The players were all neatly presented, and punctual. The music was sublime. The booking-in process was quick and easy and we felt that your services were very good value for money. We will happily recommend you to our friends.  Many thanks - the comments from our guests on the day were also very complimentary."

"Hey Katrina and Carinya String Quartet Just sending you an email to thank you for your amazing services. We have just returned from the Honeymoon and are a little delayed in sending the thank-you messages.
