Angela and Craig,

“Thank you very much for playing the most beautiful music at our wedding. We had many compliments and everyone certainly enjoyed listening. As the bride, I missed out on the music you played prior to the ceremony, didn’t hear you as I walked down the aisle (too terrified) but heard on the way out...beautiful. Many thanks and I would highly recommend you ”

Dominique,

“Rachael didn’t disappoint. She arrived in good time, so was able to set up before the room filled up with guests. She was dressed appropriately for the occasion. I had plenty of positive feed back. It was definitely a first for most, so a bit of an education in the sound of the beautiful Harp....as my father was Irish I couldn’t have made a better choice of music. ”
