Dear Annemarie, Fiona and the Cairn Quartet, Just back from honeymoon and wanted to thank you all for the beautiful music for our wedding at Prestonfield on Sunday 7 September. You were absolutely breathtaking and even better than we’d imagined so thank you so much. From the pieces you played before our ceremony, to the special arrangements during our ceremony (including our hymn In Christ Alone which sounded wonderful) everything was perfect. Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (which I walked down the aisle to) and You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban (which was played during silent prayer) especially were both huge hits with our family and friends and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house at those points. We have had so many compliments on the music we just had to let you know how happy we were with it and also to let you know that it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. Your customer service and whole approach was fantastic - so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble and your calming and laid back manner was much appreciated! We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again or recommend you to friends and family (in fact I recommended you to a colleague Melissa Ferrie a number of weeks ago who has since booked you for her wedding at the Botanics in Glasgow this autumn). Our photographs should be ready any day now so I’ll forward the link to our web gallery as soon as they are ready so you can see yourselves on camera and perhaps use a photograph on your blog.
Take care, speak to soon.
With love from Mairi & Paul Gordon xxx
