Weddings

The Chapel Hill Duo is a pairing of two inspirational musicians, who will always give an outstanding performance. We are always delighted to host Sarah and Jaya at St Wulfram's, Grantham, and every time they have played at our events the standard has been impeccably high. They come very highly recommended! (10 / 10)

I engaged The Chapel Hill Duo (Jaya and Sarah) to play at my summer party in August 2013. From initial contact communication was prompt and excellent. We discussed the requirements and music program and with their advice we decided on a selection of music which best suited the event and the guests. On the evening the performance was simply outstanding. My guests were delighted and several enquired about future bookings. I would not hesitate to recommend The Chapel Hill duo for your event. I would further note that their diverse repertoire covers classical right through to current popular music, all of which sound fantastic through strings. I hope to book again for a future event.

From day one you both have been a dream to work with. Very professional, prompt with email replies, polite, flexible and then there is your music! Wow! What can we say...you guys were amazing. The arrangement of Nessun Dorma and Happy both sounded incredible. Oh and Ave Maria was so special as it was the song that my mum walked down the aisle to and was a beautiful tribute to my parents and such a special moment too. When the doors opened and I could hear Nessun Dorma echoing throughout the church, I was overcome with the most amazing wave of emotion. It was truly so moving and there was not a dry eye in the house. My only regret was not actually being able to be there to hear you both play more at the beginning when our guests were arriving. I missed out! I'm actually on your facebook page listening to your music as I write this to make up for it (head bopping, foot tapping!) You are both such talented, gifted musicians and were a delight to listen to. We wish you every bit of success for your futures and thank you so much for making our day so special. We have no hesitation in recommending you and would 100% love to have you both play again for us at some future event for sure. (10 / 10)

You were fantastic on Saturday! Thanks so much, your playing was even better than we could have hoped and was the perfect addition. We will not hesitate to recommend you to any friends and family. Thanks again for arranging the additional pieces, it was so personal and they went down great with the guests! (10 / 10)

The guys were so so lovely. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant they were and we were so pleased with them. I am so glad we booked them and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you both again (10 / 10)

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding such a great day, not only for us but for all of our guests.

Just wanted to say how wonderful it was to have you play at my birthday party on Sunday. Your music was very much appreciated and really added to the atmosphere of the event. Thank you that as soon as the quizzes and speeches were over you very sensitively began playing and everyone was enjoying your music until the end. I have had good feedback on the do and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves so I am delighted with how it all came together. Thank you so much for your part of making it such a special occasion.

The Chapel Hill Duo provided music for our ceremony and wedding breakfast recently and were excellent. They are friendly, flexible and, above all else, talented. They really added something to the day. We'd definitely recommend them for any wedding. (10 / 10)

I like everything!! You dealt with our arrangements professionally and promptly, you did a fab job of the song composed of our choice and the music throughout the day was wonderful (I'm just sad I was off having photos and missed some of it!). (10 / 10)

I just wanted to say how wonderful it was to have you both play at our wedding! Sorry we didn't get time to speak to you properly, as a lot of our time was spent having photos taken!! But you really did make our day that extra bit special and the guests really enjoyed your music! The ceremony was just perfect, how I had always imagined it. So thank you so much from us both, you were amazing! (10 / 10)

Cannot recommend you guys enough! Having heard you play at a wedding fair, we just knew we had to book you...we are so so glad we did!

Thank you so much to you both and we will definitely be recommending you to lots of people!! X (10 / 10)

Sarah and Jaya were the perfect addition to our wedding day. They made the ceremony feel really special; they accompanied my little sister-in-law while she sang and everyone was blown away by how beautiful it sounded. They add a touch of class and warmth to the day and they are genuinely lovely people - I can't recommend them enough!

Great music @StokeRochford wedding fair today. Thank you for playing my favourite song too ‪#‎itmustbelove‬ 🙂 (10 / 10)

Wow wow wow - what a talented pair of musicians. Both my wife & I are so glad we chose you to play at both the church and the reception for our wedding. I really can't praise you both enough. You really did make our day that extra special, and so many of our friends and family agreed. The only bit I was disappointed with was that we didn't book you to play in the garden longer as time just flew by and we could have listened to you play all day. Thank you so much guys x (10 / 10)

It was just perfect! When we came out of our ceremony which had only Beatles songs Sarah and Jay were playing All you need is Love. The sun was shining and it was just perfect. Thank you guys for providing such gorgeous music to our reception and for being so professional. Wish you the best for your own wedding, I'm sure it will be magical! (10 / 10)

The musicians were just lovely, very friendly... didn't need any guidance and just got on with their job. They looked very presentable and played a beautiful mix of classical and modern music. (10 / 10)

Thank you both so much for entertaining our guests during our wedding ceremony and reception. I couldn’t have been happier with the help on the lead up to the wedding and your performance on the day. Many thanks again xx (10 / 10)

The Chapel Hill Duo played at our engagement party turned surprise wedding in January. They made our day feel so intimate and so many of our guests told us it was one of the highlights of the day. Their music is just beautiful. Jaya was so quick to respond to any questions we had and made the process effortless.We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much guys xxx (10 / 10)

I cannot praise The Chapel Hill Duo highly enough - extremely professional and extremely talented. They made our wedding reception so special and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music they played. I also had the amazing opportunity to play my flute with Sarah and Jaya and this was one of the hi-lights of the day - truly magical! Thank you!! (10 / 10)

We had these two lovely people playing at our wedding, the day stayed nice and sunny while they played in the garden. Everyone loved their music especially the mrs with her two suprise songs they learnt for me. lovely bubbly people, always smiling away. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves superb music. (10 / 10)

Met you both today at the Ayscoughfee hall Wedding Fair. And wow you both are amazing. I asked you to play the song I want to walk down the aisle to, and yes you made me cry. (10 / 10)

We were delighted with your music and found you both warm and pleasant to work with. Many of our guests were also truly impressed and asked about you. We don't do this sort of ting very often, but if we ever did we would certainly love you to come and play for us again! All the best in your endeavours and Happy New Year, Helen & Stephen Pattison PS. You might find it helpful to know that your classical takes on modern pieces really make you stand out from other young classical musicians we have heard! (10 / 10)

I must say the Chapel Hill Duo on my day were fantastic. It was great to have such quality at a very reasonable price. I found the booking procedure easy with lots of conversations around the day and set up by both email and telephone which made me feel at ease. I was particularly impressed that the Trio were able to play a piece completely of my choosing, it made the day that little bit extra special. Thank you guys!! (10 / 10)

I had the chapel hill duo playing at my wedding on 18th February 2017 for the ceremony and wedding breakfast. As soon as I walked out my room and heard them playing started off my tears. Beautiful music played by two lovely people. Thank you so much xxx (10 / 10)

[Your playing was] excellent and you had Alicia in tears, in a good way 🙂 (10 / 10)

Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing with your fabulous music. We had so many great comments from the guests and they enjoyed listening to you as much as we did (10 / 10)

Absolutely brilliant! Played at my daughter’s wedding last week at Goodwood Hotel and we have had so many positive comments about them. The type of music they played was great - so varied. Also they came outside with us after the ceremony so we could all still hear them while photos were being taken. (10 / 10)

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Jaya and Sarah, you guys were just brilliant! We are so happy we found you and that you could be part of our special day back in October!

You guys were a lovely surprise from my wife, beautifully played and faultless, it felt unique and personal, thank you very very much, and the Star Wars theme tune played how it should be! (10 / 10)

Sarah and Jaya were so friendly and helpful when we booked them and were deciding which songs we wanted. They made the organisation really easy and stress free. They played a selection of contemporary music, mixed with some disney, for our guests as they were arriving at the church for the wedding, followed by our choices and a special arrangement for our last song, The Legend of Zelda theme song! They played beautifully and lots of our guests have commented on how lovely it was and how amazing they sounded! They really set the mood for our wedding and made our day perfect! Highly recommended! (10 / 10)

We would just like to say thank you again for making our day so magical. We knew you would both make it perfect and our guests were just bowled over by your talent and repertoire. I just need to think of an excuse to book you again, 🙂 We also wish you both a happy wedding for next year and that you both have a lifetime of love (and music of course). (10 / 10)

Thank you Chapel Hill Duo for playing at our wedding - you were amazing! (10 / 10)

The volume and repertoire were ideal for the occasion and I'm aware you put in a great deal of effort to ensure this would be the case. Following our conversation on the inclusion of a few 'requests', your arrangements for cello and violin were first-rate, extremely professional and greatly appreciated by those attending. (10 / 10)

Chapel hill duo played at our wedding 28th April, would highly recommend they were absolutely flawless with their music. Really lovely people too and just made our day that extra bit special with how they played the songs, they really were fantastic and I’m glad I got to have them play for our big day! They were amazing! Thank you so much. (10 / 10)

Thank you Jaya and Sarah, you were a wonderful and most welcome part of our wedding. You helped create a perfect atmosphere for us and our guests with your thoughtful and varied choice of music. The special arrangements that you prepared were spot on and we really enjoyed listening to them. I would definitely like to listen to you both perform again and would use your flexible and professional services for future occasions! (10 / 10)

From the minute we heard this lovely pair at a wedding fair, we knew we had to have them. The music is simply beautiful and I’m so glad they were part of our special day. Thank you so much Jaya and Sarah! X (10 / 10)

The Duo played at our daughter's wedding recently and we were so thrilled with our choice of musicians. They were so accommodating and professional. The music was incredibly beautiful and added to the romantic atmosphere of the day. So if you are considering the Chapel Hill Duo for your special occasion we absolutely recommend them. Thank you to Jaya and Sarah for being part of our special day. Theresa and James (10 / 10)

Jaya and Sarah played at our church wedding on the 29th August 2015. They were perfect. All our guests commented on how lovely there music was and how talented they both our. They are both really nice people too and put up with me emailing countless questions before our big day. They played every song that we wanted and more. I cannot recommend the chapel hill duo enough. Just amazing thankyou so much guys. x (10 / 10)

The Chapel Hill Duo did a brilliant job playing at our wedding , everyone loved listening to them and enjoyed the variety of songs. They made our ceremony a and drinks reception very special. Thank you very much (10 / 10)

Jaya and Sarah, we can’t thank you enough for playing for us at our wedding in Jersey. The music was outstanding, and loved by all our guests. Many commented on the wide range of your repertoire and the incredible arrangements. You made the day really special. From playing on the terrace (hope it wasn’t too hot!), the beautiful music during the ceremony and throughout the wedding breakfast, the wonderful music created a warm, relaxed ambience. To anyone considering Jaya and Sarah, the Chapel Hill Duo, for any event, including a wedding- do not hesitate for a moment. They play to an incredibly high standard, with a wide range of styles from classical, pop, film themes and folk. And play all of these styles equally well. They are two extremely nice, friendly people and a complete pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend the Chapel Hill Duo highly enough. Booking the duo for your wedding is one of the wisest choices you will ever make! (10 / 10)

I was at a wedding you played at yesterday.. You were absolutely incredible! Well done! And thank you for the music! 🙂 xx (10 / 10)

Wow wow wow I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding absolutely perfect. You blew us away, I loved every minute of it xx (10 / 10)

Absolutely incredible! My husband and I saw them at a wedding fayre and I normally would walk past something like this as I assumed it would just be classical music. I am so glad we stopped and listened to them play! They played such a variety of music (current songs, tv shows, classical) even learnt to play a song for us. We had them playing after our service (25.08.18) whilst people were having drinks and partly whilst eating. They went down so well with our guests. Our only regret is we only had them for 2 hours, if you're debating how long to book them for go longer! They are so talented and also lovely people. (10 / 10)

We would personally like to thank you for going the extra mile to compose the music for our wedding. You’re music was outstanding and just what we had imagined. A very friendly and professional duo who we will definitely recommend in the future. Thank you so much. James and Julie Tuck. X (10 / 10)

We chose Chapel Hill Duo to play through our ceremony and drinks reception. The communication from booking (over 18 months in advance) to the day was great and put us at ease. We were given a large song list to select from ourselves and were spoilt for choice! The was a great mix of old classics and modern chart music- and everything in between! On the day Chapel Hill thoroughly entertained our guests and were widely complemented. We were worried that with 100 guests the music would be 'lost' in the background but actually it was what gave our wedding afternoon such a warm, welcoming and happy atmosphere. Thank you so much, our day wouldn't have been the same without you! (10 / 10)

Beautifully played! Love seeing them. All Booked for my wedding in 2018! (10 / 10)

These two young musicians are absolutely fantastic in every respect. They played at our daughter's wedding for hour after hour and must have been exhausted by the end of the evening! Nothing was too much trouble, they arranged a beautiful version of the happy couple's favourite song and everything they played sounded so good. A lovely couple and fantastic musicians too. Brilliant. (10 / 10)

Thank you thank you thank you for being SO amazing at our wedding! We just wanted to thank you both so much for everything you did. We had an awesome day! My husband loved it cant believe we kept it a surprise for all that time!! You were both so professional, friendly and down to earth. It was lovely to meet such kind and talented people! But most of all your music was STUNNING! A**** (10 / 10)
