Erin's Reviews

Erin got in contact and was extremely professional from the start asking for the type of music we liked, favouritr songs and negotiating a price to fit our budget. We were pretty laid back with the music to be played before and after the ceremony but had one specific song that we wanted to be played as I walked down the aisle. Within a few hours, Erin had learnt the song and sent a recording over. We were so impressed by their enthusiasm and talent and we weren't disappointed on the day

Erin played beautifully as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. The guests loved it also and I had many comments on how lovely she sounded. A perfect part of our special day.
