"Pippa was an absolute dream - she arrived at our wedding ceremony location before we even got there and from that moment on she helped to make our ceremony more special than we even hoped for! Her performance was delightful and really elevated the atmosphere on a windy day at Loch Lomond - more than that, she was lovely to speak to and massively friendly which helped to put us all at ease on a busy morning. Cannot recommend enough - thanks so much Pippa!"

"Sam agreed to play at our wedding at relatively short notice after my initial booking with another harpist fell through. I am so relieved that it did, because not only did Sam provide a first-class performance on the day (we never doubted that part for a second!) but she was regularly in touch with me prior to the ceremony so she could understand our wishes exactly. I was immediately impressed by Sam's catholic repertoire, from classical music to video game soundtracks. So excellent a harpist is Sam that my wife and I deliberately took our time signing the register, so we could appreciate the back-up song we'd asked Sam to play too! If you are in any doubt about who to choose for your special day, look no further than Sam. Sam, thank you so much for everything, and apologies for taking so long to get round to this review - long honeymoon! All the best, Sean & Laura"
