Lovely review from a recent wedding ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
'Hello. I didn’t get chance to say thank for your amazing performance on our wedding day. You were the star of the day, all guests were mesmerised by you and you made it truly special for us. Thank you for learning our favourite music as well - it was a lovely touch. One of the guest took photograph of you so I thought you might want to have it.... Thank you again. J&E xx'

Back in this lovely unique venue today 👰🎩

What a gorgeous venue today! 🌱🌼🌱

Wonderful morning at Manchester Cathedral, enjoying Elinor's talent! She 's been playing modern pieces which made me reconsider harp music, very versatile.

The most wonderful concert this morning at Manchester Cathedral... Celtic Harp transported me back to times spent as a child on Isle of Iona. Beautiful haunting music and in the Cathedral the setting was just perfect.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 11/11/17. You were absolutely fantastic, and my family loved you! Everyone’s commented on how talented you are, how adaptable you were, and how different it was to have a harpist there. You coped so well with the table of my cousins, who gave you ‘challenge’ after challenge, and you just kept hitting them out of the park!



I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone, thank you again.

Thank you for playing at our wedding ceremony. Elinor is friendly and helpful and communications before the event were great. Her beautiful playing made our ceremony extra special for us and so many guests commented that the music was just perfect.

Thank you for playing at my daughters wedding. We all thought you were absolutely superb - we had amazing comments from everyone about how fantastic you were and even the hallmark staff commented how wonderful it was to listen to you. You really did us proud and it made the day. My mum and dad were so impressed and it made my daughters wedding special. Fantastic repertoire.

Played at our wedding and couldn’t have been more beautiful!!!

I cannot put into words how amazing and talented you are, Elinor! Thank you so much for playing at my wedding. All of the guests couldn't stop talking about how great you were and how your playing just elevated the mood and added to the already very emotional ceremony! Your rendition of Clair de lune was perfect and I hope you play near Manchester soon so I can come watch. Anyone who books you is so lucky and I feel so happy to have had to play on the day, truly worth every single penny and more! Also it was the first time the venue had ever had a harpist so all the registrar's were so excited too! All the best love Diana and Ryan xxx

Huge big thanks to you and Joss for playing such beautiful music at our wedding on Friday! All the guests commented on how amazing you both were. True professionals. Thank you, highly recommend! xxx

Elinor! I finally get time to write our thanks! We are so glad we chose you to provide our music for our wedding on Saturday. I was completely composed until I walked down the aisle and heard your stunning Pachabel Canon in D. That was it, I was a sobbing mess! You have been so great! Replying to my (many) emails so quickly, being so accommodating on the day and in general, an absolute delight. We can't recommend you highly enough. Thank you �

Elinor you were fantastic on our wedding day on Sunday. So polite, welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Not to mention a fantastic musician. Everyone loved your music. I wish it didn't have to end. Thank you for adding that extra touch xxxx
