"Vicky played at our wedding ceremony in the Marlborough Sounds. Their musical skills and presentation was excellent. They were very accommodating with the format of our day and played at pre wedding drinks, the ceremony and the pre dinner drinks all at different locations. They learnt the music of a special request to play at our event which they had never heard of prior. We would thoroughly recommend them."

"In February 2011 we visited The Portage with a view to holding our own wedding in that superb Marlborough Sounds resort hotel. After checking in we went to our room to unpack before meeting with the Wedding Planner and then our intended Celebrant.

Taking a coffee to the deck of our suite, which overlooked the resort's lawn which in turn overlooked the Kenepuru sound, we noticed two violinists setting up under the umbrellas in the mid afternoon sun. Shortly they began to play and in the quietness of Portage Bay their beautiful music enveloped us as they welcomed guests from the United Kingdom to a very special, intimate wedding ...we were smitten!

At that moment The Portage was our choice and we knew who would provide the music at our May wedding. After they had finished their duties Annie and I sought out the violinists and arranged a May date!

The rest is history. Welcoming our guests, playing selected pieces during the ceremony and entertaining us all later, our wedding day was as special as you could wish.  Additionally, in the intervening period we had discussed with Vicky the addition of a soprano voice to add to our occasion; this the trio accomplished with finesse though it might be said we were otherwise focused! Our guests were entranced throughout.

So, if you want to create a special ambiance at your wedding or special occasion, it's a 'no-contest'. Strings Classical every time."

"The Marlborough Convention Centre took over the management of the Bridal Expo for 2011; the expo is run as a non-profitable event with door takings being donated to the Child Cancer Society. 

We arranged to have musical entertainment at the expo through out the day, I was recommended to talk with Vicky Mack. 

Vicky did not hesitate in offering her time to play at the expo. I found Vicky to be very friendly, easy to communicate with and has a very professional manner. Vicky came and played for an hour, helping to create a lovely atmosphere and making for an enjoyable experience for brides and grooms attend the expo. Vicky gave a beautiful solo performance, a perfect arrangement of music to suit any wedding.

Vicky was an enjoyment to work with; I would not hesitate in recommending her for any event and would love to have her play at the Convention Centre again sometime soon."

"I would like to say thank you to you and your friends for playing such wonderful music on my wedding day. It just made the ceremony so beautiful, and my guests have commented on how nice it was to have the strings playing."

"Now that we have returned from our honeymoon we just wanted to say thank you for all your help with our wedding on Jan 7. We were extremely happy with your trio - your performance was brilliant - everything sounded absolutely perfect for the occasion. In particular, the performance during Caroline's entrance for the ceremony was amazing. We also want to wish you all the best for your future endeavours. We have been nothing but impressed with your professionalism and we are sure you will be a big success at whatever you do. Thanks again for helping to make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be"
