Absolutely amazing. Do not hesitate to book with Naomi! We had a specific song in mind that we wanted for our aisle music. It was not a popular song, and sheet music was not readily available. Naomi arranged the music herself to play for our asile music and it sounded incredible. She sent a recording of this prior to the wedding too and altered a specific bit with my feedback (thank you!). It sounded better than I could have imagined. She was fantastic during the drinks reception. All of our guests commented on how great the music was. Thank you again for making our special day so memorable!

Naomi made our wedding day extra special and at quite short notice. She was very discreet but made a big difference to our ceremony and I would gladly reccommend!

Naomi was a huge hit! Everyone was raving about her. She played her electric violin at my husband’s 40th birthday drinks party in our garden. She was so professional, punctual and nothing was too much. She prepared and shared a set list ahead of time. Absolutely brilliant x

Naomi played at our wedding in November at Clearwell Castle, Gloustershire. What can we say other than she was fantastic. Naomi shared her extensive track list of wedding music with us before the ceremony. My husband and I chose 3 songs to be played while signing and for our exit. Naomi played all 3 songs so perfectly, we chose; - Ennio Morricone- Gabriels Oboe - Saint Saens- The Swan - The Verve- Bittersweet symphony. Naomi was professional and very organised and utmost a very talented violinist, and would forever recommend her. We couldn't have been more happier about how amazing Naomi played on our day, she really made it perfect, we couldn't thank Naomi enough.

Naomi has been nothing but brilliant and top class in her performance for my wedding, but also very professional in organising my special day. From start to finish Naomi has conducted herself well in arranging time to discuss plans, choice of music and understanding in what and how she was required to perform. Even with my choices of songs she was able to provide samples which reassured me of my excellent choice in her, but also allowing me to preview her talents. she was understanding, friendly, easy to talk to and i would highly recommend her to anyone i knew and would hire her for future events. Thank you Pritesh
