‘I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’ to you all for the lovely music at our wedding–I wish we could have kept you all day!
Alex & Ryan Halliday-Shrigley Hall, June 15th, 2018


The smiliest groom ever Jared & lovely Amy–both newly qualified docs & really lovely people. Here’s their fb review of us –ta so much. A lovely day -and your gramps despite breaking his arm made it back to the wedding –hooray !
‘From the moment our guests entered the church to the final rendition during the wedding breakfast, the Carlton Ensemble were excellent throughout. They have a truly astounding sound with beautifully played strings and flute, which created a magical atmosphere that was beyond our dreams. We cannot thank you enough for helping to give us the perfect day.’


A well worth trek through the Derbyshire Dales brought us to Shirland for Rev Chris Andrew’s thank you to his congregants for keeping the flag flying during their 2 year spell without a minister. It was special. So is he. A bit blustery on the hillock in the garden but so what–it was a brilliant and unique occasion –thanks for your hospitality and for choosing us x


Nikki & Scott’s super wedding at Owen House Farm in Moobberleywith a really wold group of guests–luckily we were micced up so we could be heard and hear each other too. It was a great day out in the CVheshire countryside–no farm smells either ! A great place for a string and flute group to play for a lovely couple .


A wonderful hour entertaining people at Belong was highlighted by Arthur conducting us ^ residents dancing Zimmerframes et al to our last number –Can Can !!! A special experience


It was only the 2nd time ever in 37 1/2 years that we were asked for solely classical music–we peppered it with a few lighter pieces . But Haydn, Handel, Boccherini, Bach & Corelli were the mainstays of this lovely, serene wedding in the Graded listed building that is Worsley Court House. Definitely different and great fun for us. Be safe & well and thanks for having us –it was our pleasure .
Our string quartet & flute was for once safe and sound in Salford Manchester–no travelling for us for this local wedding event.

Stunning weather but a bit windy for our string quartet & flute so Claire Short’s Dad, Chris saved the day with this amazing pergola. It was just the jobbie at this really stunning venue in Derbyshire. Delightful people, setting, couple and as for the father of the bride–well, he gets 10 out 0f 10! Thanks Chris & good luck to you all from Carlton Ensemble wedding string quartet & flute

It was a magical afternoon. Everything from my perspective went off according to my plan, with smooth transitions and the music was superb and totally appropriate for the occasion. Please pass on my thanks to your colleagues- they were charming and totally professional. Very impressed. Thanks to you for being so helpful too, to resolve all the issues. Best regards. Tony

Thank you so, so much for your wonderful performance at our wedding – it was absolutely amazing! We had so many flattering comments from our friends and family about the quintet – including from my Dad & and his friends who are very big classical music aficionados.

Fabulous, just fabulous! From start to finish, Carlton Ensemble were amazing – Fay catered to our every need and diverse music tastes, and was able to offer her expert advice to ensure our wedding music list was perfect. We received lots of comments about how amazing the quintet were – and our ceremony wouldn’t have been as special without them and their beautiful playing. Fay is a true sweetheart – would highly recommend!
