Sam hired Rhianwen Pugh for a Wedding (available in Chester)

"Bethan was incredible from start to finish! From the moment I enquired with Bethan she was excellent, making sure we understood her offering. We booked Bethan quite far in advance from our wedding but she maintained communication throughout and guided us through the process. Bethan has a very comprehensive and varied repertoire but was open to learn new songs which we loved and made our ceremony feel extra special and personal. We had a wonderful call with Bethan a couple of months out from the wedding and she made us feel extremely comfortable with everything, she was friendly, professional and made us feel really relaxed and every answered some more general wedding questions. On the day Bethan was amazing, the music was perfect and she really made our ceremony. Bethan was so flexible and moved locations for the drinks receptions. She plays so beautifully and all the guests loved listening to her. I would highly recommend Bethan and I hope we can find a reason in the future to work with her again! "
