Julia is such a sweetheart. She played a special request tune for me at my private birthday lunch between my partner and I. It was a beautiful and romantic experience. She also wrote me a birthday menu of songs and I got a music not card. She was intentional about my chosen tune.

I booked Julia to play at my wedding on 22nd June 2018 and can honestly say that everyone thought she was absolutely fantastic!! We had asked for a mixture of classical music along with contemporary pieces. On the day Julia had found a way to transition our songs beautifully one after another. I do hope your wedding day is made as special for you as you made ours. Warm Regards The Badhams. x

"Thank you for making the long journey to Scotland to play such beautiful bespoke music at our Wedding. Everything came together to create a perfectly magical day the memory of which we will both treasure forever.

"Julia performs with ease and grace and such presence, we felt deeply in the zone during our marriage and everyone enjoyed her fun, off the cuff, party pieces enormously.
