5 out of 5

An extremely talented violinist, and was a pleasure to have at the wedding. So patient, only wish she had dinner at the venue as she must have been hungry but never complained. Anna patiently waited for the bride entrance. She listened to our requests even at such short notice and was so good at her communication
