" Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for performing at our wedding; it was absolutely amazing! We had so many comments about how fantastic you were. Some of the pieces you played we didn’t think could be played with a Harp but the way you played them sounded like they were meant for the Harp, it was so perfect!I must say you truly made our day a perfect one; words can’t describe how we felt with you there playing for us. It was such a fantastic experience. "
David and Louise
