"Simply wonderful! Carlton Ensemble played at our wedding on December 17th, 2010 & were fantastic making our day even more special. Fay really helped with the choices of music & even scored a piece as a surprise for my new husband. I'd recommend them for any occasion. Many many thanks to the group." - Angela Nickson

"Thank you again for the most beautiful & amazing accompaniment to our wedding day yesterday. Our guests noticed you totally 'got 'us & what we wanted. It was an absolute joy to get to know you & feel everything was personalised just for us, even the spontaneous Take That singalong during the signing of the register." - Jess & Dean N.
