    “Dearest Melanie and Michael, we truly cannot thank you enough for playing on our wedding day.

    Your Guitar & Violin Duo definitely set the mood for the rest of our festivities and our guests just couldn’t stop raving about you. You played my special request songs so beautifully, it was amazing to hear your rendition of them! Just absolutely beautiful.

    Thank you for being an absolute pleasure to deal with, taking so much time and detail in preparing for our day. You will be highly recommended to friends and family. A day we will never forget, with thanks to you both.”

    “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the violinists at Diamond Strings for setting the perfect scene at two of our most recent staff events. As the event organiser for my company, I am very grateful to have come across such remarkable and professional musicians.

    Our company was very impressed with your performance and have requested that I book with you again in future. I highly recommend Diamond Strings to anyone seeking astonishing musical talent.”

    We found Melanie and Diamond Strings at an Expo event in the Hunter Valley. We really wanted live music for our ceremony and Diamond Strings ended up being the perfect choice. One of our favourite things was being able to hear samples of their music on their website which made it really easy to choose our wedding songs. We had a very last minute venue change which Diamond Strings took in their stride. For our ceremony and canapés, we had Melanie as the solo violinist with backing tracks which worked perfectly. She was super easy to work with in the lead-up to the day and had everything organised and set-up on the day so that we could just enjoy the music on the day without having to worry about a thing. Definitely recommend!
