Fantastic! The music was beautiful and Pauline has a beautiful singing voice, she took our suggestions for the music during the drinks reception and got it perfect. It was so magical walking down the aisle to Pauline playing and she definitely positively added to our day. Communication was great, everything was figured out so easily. Pauline knew exactly where to be when, didn't have to worry one bit because she was so good. I don't have any more words because there's only so many ways you can say it was perfect.
