I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually don’t need much time to set up. For me it’s enough to arrive at the venue 30 mins earlier to be ready to play.

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! This does not apply only if you chose those line-up that include a piano.

Flora was everything we had hoped for in a violinist . She totally delivered what was promised and her repertoire of Classical and modern pieces complimented our Afternoon Tea at the RAF Club, Picadilly . Flora communicated with us regularly prior to the event so that we were both clear on how the booking would go . Thank You Flora for making our 60th Birthday Celebration so special , Alison & Chris Ryle . 🎻🎉🍰🥂🎻

I booked Flora for the most important moment of my life to date, she was tasked to play while I proposed to my then girlfriend. I am happy to say my now Fiancé and Flora made the moment magical, her playing was of the highest quality and I couldn’t have asked for better. Not only that but she was a lovely person and so professional, she had to wait for a while to play after she set up and she was so good about it. I couldn’t recommend her any higher and I will be hiring her again in the future. Thanks again Flora!

Flora was absolutely amazing, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody. She arrived much earlier than anticipated to allow full setup time, text me to confirm that she was ready and even kept me updated that everything was going to plan. The music choice was perfect for the occasion and my requested song she learned and played to perfection. My now fiancé has not stopped playing the video of Flora playing at the event over and over again. Without a doubt, her skill took the occasion to the next level. If you’re thinking of working with Flora, do not hesitate!
