We cannot recommend Clare highly enough for her beautiful cello performance at our daughter's wedding. During the signing ceremony, Clare played a wonderful selection of Irish and Scottish folk tunes that were absolutely perfect for the occasion. Her musical choices were incredibly thoughtful and appropriate, and particularly special to us. Thankyou, Clare, for making our daughter a wedding day even more memorable and magical.

Clare played the cello during our wedding ceremony. We chose the piece 'may it be' be enya and it was a really beautiful part of our ceremony. We had so many compliments from our guests for her lovely playing. It was very atmospheric.
