I booked Steph to play at my sons 9th birthday party. He made a list of his favourite songs (which included a lot of Disney) and Steph played them all for him. He says it's the best birthday present ever!

We loved having Steph play at our wedding reception. Organising the day was a really simple process and her playing really enhanced the atmosphere, thank you for making our day so special!
