I booked Gina and her husband and they play beautifully. Only issue is that I was told they could amplify the music but on the day they said they can’t and unfortunately my guests could hardly hear anything.

Dear Roya, Thank you for your kind words/feedback and many congratulations on your wedding! My harp does have the potential to be amplified, however you did not state this as a requirement for your wedding and it was never confirmed, in addition to this being prior to your requesting of an additional musician for the performance. Sadly my duo partner cannot amplify his violin therefore we both performed acoustically, I apologise for not being clearer with this beforehand. We are very happy to adapt as long as it is previously discussed and confirmed with all parties and we did manage to do that with your change of performance times and choice of repertoire - we understand that there were many things beyond your control as is always the case with large scale events, it was just unfortunate for your guests that the volume wasn’t suitable. Many apologies and I wish you all the best with your marriage. Kind regards, Gina
