Niamh Leahy's Reviews

5 out of 5

Niamh was such a joy to work with! She played for our elopement style wedding on the Cliffs of Moher, and having her play the violin so beautifully as we did the ceremony added so much to our perfect day! She went above and beyond in every way, from driving all the way out to the cliffs to learning a special piece that we requested. I would highly recommend!

5 out of 5

Niamh played for us during the launch of our summer garden furniture collection at The Elms where we were joined by President Higgins for lunch. She delighted the President, customers and staff with a mix of traditional and classical music and really helped to make the event a truly memorable occasion! A pleasure to talk to and very accommodating of our needs.
