Comments: I thought that Bagatelle Duo were extremely professional, well presented and very talented. It was lovely to have them play during the ceremony of our outside wedding and then later at the drinks reception.
I think that it was perfect background music and helped create a really beautiful ambiance which i know was enjoyed by all our guests. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you and Meta for playing at our wedding last Friday - everyone has said how beautiful the music was! And I think they all loved the outside drinks reception with your lovely music - it was truly magical!
I hope you also had a good day and didn't have a bad journey back home again.
Thank you for all your help with the booking and also the music choices.
Take care

Comments: Booking and paying were easy and the service provided by Alive Network was excellent.
The Bagatelle Duo were a delight, they required no additional help and set up quietly ready to play at the set time.
They were able to select their pieces of music to suit the audience. My only regret is that I didn't book them to play earlier at the reception as some of our guests had to leave early and missed their wonderful music!
Best regards,
Richard Hoyland

I'd like to say a huge thankyou to both Alive Network and the Bagatelle Duo who played at my wedding on May 3rd. The weather, setting and music were all beautiful and we received many compliments about the live music. Thank you to Rebecca at Alive Network who made the process so painless! A triumph, Thank you. Please pass on my huge thanks to the talented Bagatelle Duo, I was so caught up in the day I missed the opportunity to say it face to face, they gave our day that extra sparkle we were hoping for.

We had a fantastic day on saturday and the music played by Bagatelle Duo was just superb. Every single one of our guests said that the beautiful music made the day so special and added that little sparkle of magic. Jenny and Meta were lovely and it is such a shame that we did not get chance to speak to them for very long to actually say a huge thank you for making our day that little bit more unique.
Many of our 100 guests had never heard the sound of a harp and flute doing a live performance and they truly enjoyed every piece of music they played. I left the choice of music to the ladies and they chose some fabulous songs to play.
We would like to thank the ladies by sending them some flowers.
Please pass on our thanks to the ladies and please add our comments to the website because I found the comments useful when I was looking.
Also, I would like to say that I found dealing with Alive Network as very professional.
Kind regards
Vanessa
