About Ellen Connelly

Hi, I'm Ellen, a vocalist ready to soundtrack your perfect event! From bridal entrances to cocktail hour, I have something for everyone!

Cover band

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Whether it’s a beautiful, intimate entrance down the aisle, a laid-back soundtrack to your drinks reception, or those special moments in between, I create a warm and romantic atmosphere with your favourite songs. My style is all about keeping things natural, timeless and full of feeling - the kind of music that sets the mood, brings people together and makes those unforgettable moments feel even more special. I believe the best wedding music is personal to you, so I’ll work with you to create a soundtrack that reflects your style and tells a little of your story as a couple. If you’re looking for live music that feels effortless, intimate and genuinely special, I’d love to be part of your day.

Ellen was the perfect musician for our garden wedding. Her voice is soft and gentle and she sang beautifully while we had our dinner . We had a wide range of ages, tending to older , with grandchildren and everyone agrees the music was perfect . Thank you Ellen .

Ellen and team were utterly brilliant. Great communications, polite and focused, empathetic, excellent repertoire, fabulous delivery. But please don’t book them when we want them next!

Ellen was great at staying in touch and being open to our song requests. Her and her keyboard player created a lovely ambience at our wedding and her voice was beautiful. Thanks so much Ellen.

Ellen & Cam performed at my 50th birthday afternoon tea party and they were fantastic. Their beautiful music set a wonderful ambiance for the party, their repertoire was spot on and their understated manner charming. Such a pleasure to have you both at our home. Alison

We got Harmony Row to perform at our office Christmas Party on 22nd November 2019. We loved their vintage take on classic Christmas songs - they created the perfect atmosphere!
