Well, what can I say..... Ross and Ailise you are both absolutely incredible. You both really made our wedding so special. You looked so smart and the music you played was brilliant, exactly what we wanted. As soon as I heard you playing while I was getting ready I had goosebumps and butterflies in my tummy. You are both so friendly and nothing was ever too big an ask. Communication was easy and you gave us everything we could have wanted. Everyone has commented on how good you were and what a special touch it was to our day. We can't thank you enough and would 100% recommend you to anyone. Thank you again for everything.
