“Dear Vaughan, Thank you so much to you and your musical partner for bringing your music to our wedding on the 17th of February. Your music was such a treat - everybody commented on it. We will never forget how perfectly your playing complimented our wedding. The ceremony, the drinks reception and the meals seemed so splendid with your tunes filling the various rooms. Thank you also for playing Charlottes special requests - she was absolutely delighted - and for all your advice and warm, friendly communications prior to the big day. Communications with a few suppliers and entertainers made us edgy about their commitment, although they did indeed turn up on the day. We had no such concerns about you, after being so attentive, so prompt and so patient in all our telephone conversations. Many have mentioned your contribution to our wedding, I'm sure they'd recommend you to anyone planning a wedding - we will do so too. Thank you both for being absolute stars on our big day.”
— James and Charlotte (Wedding at Northcote House, Sunningdale)

“Dear Vaughan, I am writing to say a huge thank you for the superb entertainment that you provided for mine and Richards wedding at the Mill House Hotel on the 6th September. The quartet were a big talking point and many of our guests commented that you were outstanding - and the best string quartet they had ever heard! Walking into the ceremony room to Canon in D was a dream come true and my favourite part of the day. I am so glad we captured it on film so can relive the moment in years to come. We wish we could have had time to sit and listen to you properly during the drinks reception, but we were inevitably busy having photos taken. Thank you so much for making our day so special - we really appreciate the time you spent (on several occasions!) to answer our questions and provide us with invaluable advise.”
— Kind regards, Louise and Richard (Wedding at Mill House Hotel)

— Huge thanks again, Sally and Paul (Wedding at Fanhams Hall)

“Dear Vaughan, I would like to express my thanks on behalf of the Mess Committee and the Corps Regimental Sargeant Major for your and Anthony's excellent performance on Thursday evening. A string duo, especially one of such high standard is something many Mess Members had not experienced before, entertainment usually being provided by a military quintet. I can say with confidence that your performance was a positive contrast! It was also appreciated that you managed to arrange 'The Downfall of Paris' at such short notice. Once again thanks.”
— Jim Hankey

“Dear Vaughan, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your performance at our launch on Monday.

I have mentioned you in all of our press releases that have been sent out. Thanks again and I hope to work with you again in the future!”
