Wedding Breakfast Musicians for hire in Canterbury
Latest reviews of our Wedding Breakfast Musicians in Canterbury
"What a talent. From initial contact with Annika, I found her to be extremely polite and professional. Emails were answered promptly. I was able to view samples of her playing the harp. Also able to choose extra songs to suit the couples needs. Arrangements were carried out with great detail. The wedding day was very hot, therefore Annika was late in starting, not her fault, as all guests were advised to remain indoors prior to the ceremony whilst Annika remained under the pergola. She adjusted her timings and played longer in the dining room. I would thoroughly recommend Annika to anyone holding that special event. My son and his new wife, along with all the guests are still talking about it a week later. A memory to cherish. Thank you very much to all who were involved in ensuring it all went to plan."

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing.
