"In August this year we got married in California. As we have family in both the U.S. and the UK, my wife and I decided that we would hold our Wedding celebration dinner & Cocktail hour in Lisbon & it was a truly memorable event! We scheduled a private dinner event at Palacio Chiado restaurant in Lisbon and hired Patrícia to provide the entertainment. Patrícia provided the music for our 2 hour cocktail reception and it was a wonderful experience 😎 Her violin playing is exquisite and many of the songs incorporated a backing track - she was able to provide a really wide repertoire of music, ranging from Classical to Rock and everyone loved her! Even though we were in different countries, Patrícia was really easy to work with and totally flexible in her approach. If you are looking for a high quality performance for your next event, I would have no hesitation in recommending Patrícia to you. "

Thank you so much Mike. For the words, and for all the reception, all the love, the welcome...everything, everything, everything. We spoke a few times, but in person it was as if we had known each other for a long time. Both to you, and to your lovely and beautiful wife, and your guests! As I said when we said goodbye "I'm leaving with a full heart". I couldn't have been more sincere! Thank you from the bottom of my heart - Patrícia Azevedo ❤️

"Sarah played on our wedding and she was just incredible. Sarah listened to our requests prior to the wedding and she performed exactly how we wished for. My guests were positively shocked when Sarah started to play and she made everyone to join the dance floor. Everyone had so much fun and loved Sarah who is the kindest person, and creates very positive vibes. If you are looking for a professional violnist who listens to your needs you are in the right place! Thank you so much Sarah."

"Don't let his age fool you – Michael is a virtuoso when it comes to the violin. He possess the masterful balance of technical and emotive and is a gifted composer of evocative, deeply moving pieces. I had the pleasure of inviting Michael into my home to play a program for a string duet – violin and cello – and at another performance, where I listened to him pair his soulful violin with the voice of opera. He's communicative and professional, and is going places."

"Our experience through booking with Encore has been so smooth and easy. However Abigail made this booking even more perfect and made the process before the wedding stress free and easy. Abigail communicated with us superbly and granted every wish we had for our wedding ceremony. No song was too much and never made us feel like we were asking for too much. Would not think twice about booking Abigail as she was professional, kind and above all else a great violinist. Thank you again Abigail! "

"Maria (AiraZ_ Violin Performance) played at a recent wedding that I coordinated. Not only was she extremely professional, on time and beautifully dressed, her performance was absolutely amazing. For 3 hours she entertained the guests, nearly all of whom commented just how brilliant she was. I am looking forward to working with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist for their wedding."

"I have worked with Lenin & Lionel who have performed at our outdoor Summer family events for years. They are totally professional and while we had a technical glitch this year they were so understanding and patient and then resumed their performance. They were hugely popular with the audience and had people up singing and dancing. Their brotherly harmonies are wonderful and a real treat if you're lucky enough to hear them play. They are just fantastic 👏 "

"I had the pleasure of witnessing Gaston the Violinist's extraordinary performance at Jumeirah Hotel Beach during Ramadan, and I must say, he was absolutely amazing. From the moment he started playing, his talent and passion for music shone through, captivating everyone in the audience. Gaston's command over the violin was truly remarkable. His skillful and emotive playing transported us to another world, where the melodies he created resonated deep within our hearts. His ability to infuse English, French, and Arabic songs with such elegance and finesse was a testament to his versatility as an artist. Not only was Gaston's musicality impressive, but his stage presence was also captivating. He exuded a genuine warmth and charm, effortlessly connecting with the audience and making us feel like we were part of something special. His engaging personality and genuine love for music were infectious, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and appreciation. The choice of Jumeirah Hotel Beach as the venue only added to the overall experience. The combination of Gaston's melodic tunes and the serene seaside setting created a magical ambiance, perfectly complementing the spirit of Ramadan. Gaston's performance during Ramadan at Jumeirah Hotel Beach was a true highlight of the season. His exceptional talent, coupled with his ability to seamlessly blend English, French, and Arabic songs, made for an unforgettable evening of musical bliss. I highly recommend experiencing Gaston's artistry firsthand and look forward to his future performances, as he truly has a gift for touching the souls of his audience with his violin."

"Thank you so much for your superb violin interpretations of "The Lark Ascending" and "Boum" at my wife's outdoor memorial on 11th May 2022. And, although you weren't expecting to play anything else, when asked you played some inspired Bach for ten minutes. It made the whole service very memorable Thank you again and I hope to hear you play in the near future."

"An absolutely outstanding performance of a collection of songs from over the decades using an electric violin. And what a lovely, charismatic and professional entertainer too! Naomi’s performance wowed our guests and created such a fantastic sociable atmosphere that couldn’t be replicated in any other way. If you’re looking for somebody to perform violin, or indeed electric violin, somebody who will wow your guests, you need Naomi at your event! 10/10"

"Wow! What an incredible duo! We were lucky enough to find Swite Duo and made contact with them so see if they could perform at our wedding. Luckily they were available and we confirmed the booking. From there on, they were so helpful, friendly and wonderful to work with. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were able to perform our music selections for our ceremony, plus a huge repertoire of other songs. They made our day so special. From the moment they began to play to the end of their performance, they were nothing short of perfection! All of our guests commented on how wonderful they were and how perfect the music was. The music was beautiful and made many of our guests emotional. A huge thank you to them both and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They’re wonderful!"

"We booked a violinist & DJ support for a brand/route launch held on Tower Bridge. High end, high profile event and the entertainment could simply not have been better. The team listened to the brief, adapted the playlist accordingly and truly complimented our evening. We would 100% hire this combination again and most likely will! Delighted. "

"I just wanted to say thank you SO much for the beautiful violin music you played at our wedding. I was sad I didn’t get to hear all of the songs before the ceremony, but I have had so many compliments on how good you were. You were a true professional and you have such an amazing talent. And the songs I did hear were just perfect and really added to the romance and emotion of the ceremony. Thanks so much once again."
