Our Client Reviews
Exceeded expectations on our magical day. They played at our drinks reception & it was simply beautiful. All commented on the wonderful music. Lovely people beautiful music really added to our special day.
A dream team! Literally, they were brilliant from start to finish. I enjoyed the ceremony so much as the Bride as I blissfully listened to them. We had so many compliments from guests, and even people who couldn’t be there but watch online. Caroline is so easy to deal with, everything was relaxed. I highly recommend them, and can’t wait to get the wedding video to listen to in action again! 5* for sure.
The Secret Chord added a touch of class to our wedding day. Their music and it’s delivery exactly captured what we had imagined for our wedding service. It’s hard to fully capture in words how beautiful the music was but we really encourage you to check out their website to listen to them. Caroline was absolutely amazing to deal with from start to finish. We have no hesitation in recommending this trio for your wedding day. MJ & Jen Ryan
Absolutely thrilled with The Secret Chord’s performance at our wedding! Their rendition of Amazing Grace was a standout, and they effortlessly accommodated all our song requests. The band’s easy-going nature made planning a breeze, and they even surprised us with the beautiful addition of ‘Halo.’ Highly recommend for a stress-free and delightful musical experience!
The Secret Chord provided the music for our Wedding Ceremony. From the moment we contacted them they were nothing but responsive and accomodating. The music was beautiful and we could not recommend them enough! Thank you for adding to our perfect day!
