Wedding Breakfast Musicians for hire in Southend-on-Sea
Latest reviews of our Wedding Breakfast Musicians in Southend-on-Sea
"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."

"Paula was absolutely incredible at our wedding reception! Several guests expressed how much they enjoyed her performance, and Paula even played us a couple of songs on our own whilst we waited to go in for our wedding breakfast. Paula learnt special songs we had requested, and brought brilliant energy to our reception drinks. She was such a special addition to our day and we couldn't have asked for more. "
