Latest reviews of our Wedding Harpists in Wells
"Nia played at our 60th birthday party in Oxfordshire and was outstanding. She’s a delightful person to work with as well as super talented musician. She offered us a wide set list to choose from, as well as the option to choose our own favourite songs for her to learn. Nia arrived promptly, well prepared and dressed beautifully and our guests thoroughly enjoyed her music. We highly recommend Nia and will be asking her to play at our wedding next year. 💕 "

"Nia was a joy to deal with. We engaged for the gathering after my mum's funeral service and her choice of music was spot on and her playing was exquisite. I would highly recommend."
Rhodri hired Nia Evans for a Funeral / Memorial service (available in Wells)
"We genuinely cannot recommend Ruth highly enough. From the moment she started playing, it was clear that she had completely outdone herself. Not only was her performance absolutely beautiful, but she also went above and beyond for us. She kindly stayed longer than she was supposed to, which was hugely appreciated on such a special day. Even more impressively, she learned two songs especially for our wedding, and the versions she performed were absolutely incredible—perfectly played, and honestly better than any version of those songs that we’d heard online. The feedback from our guests was unanimous. Every single person who spoke to us commented on how amazing Ruth was and how much her music added to the atmosphere. She created exactly the mood we had hoped for and was the perfect touch for our wedding day. We truly couldn’t have asked for more. If there were a way to leave a higher rating, we would. Thank you so much, Ruth, for helping make our wedding so special. We would recommend you to absolutely anyone in the world."
