Meta played the harp at our registry office wedding ceremony in the Castle Room at Winchester She did a fabulous job and in the weeks leading up to the ceremony she helped me chose the perfect music to accompany me walking down the aisle, signing the register and exit music

We had the absolute pleasure of listening to the beautiful voice and the music that Meta played during our ceremonies at our viking wedding. We have goosebumps everytime we remember how intense it felt listening to her, especially during our vows at the handfasting. We cant thank enough for her talent and the excellent performance. Meta gave the perfect touch to the most important and magical moment of the best day of our lifes. Thank you Meta, you were indescribable!!!
