Eloise was the perfect addition to our garden party, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. Prior to the event, she sent us a list of songs and we were able to select our choices for the day. Excellent communication from booking to event. On the day, Eloise arrived nice and early, discussed the sound system set up with us and was an absolute pleasure to have around as we were setting up for the party. We and all our guests were incredibly impressed with her talent, her repertoire of music and her stage presence. My dad was moved to tears by her performance of Vivaldi. Talented, professional and an absolute pleasure to have. Thank you for making our party so special and for giving it such an elegant feel, our guests haven’t stopped talking about it!! We can’t wait for the next celebration to book you again!

Dear Eloise Thank you!! You were fabulous and completely made the evening perfect. You have a fantastic talent combined with a wonderful personality. I’m sorry we didn’t help you to load your car and say a proper goodbye- you started the dancing off so well that we just got carried away I hope that your journey home was smooth and that you managed a little New Year celebration yourself! Yours with sore feet but a big smile Sarah

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I am a solo act but I play regularly with string quartets.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I can be flexible with timings particularly if booked far in advance as I know things can change.

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up and sound check.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I have an extensive repertoire list and I'm happy to play detailed requests.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I have my own sound equipment and lighting.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song that you would like I can put this together for free. Any other requests I charge £40 per song choice.
