"Many thanks to you all for providing such beautiful music at our daughter’s wedding on Saturday. The music during the ceremony brought yet another lump to my throat and completed a perfect setting after the ceremony. My apologies for being too distracted to thank you on the day but be assured we all thought you were wonderful.”
Marilyn Smith, mother of the bride, wedding, Essex

“We just wanted to say the biggest thank you for what we can only describe as the most wonderful & personal performance. Everyone commented how wonderful you were & the selection of songs & the quality of your performance was outstanding.
