Oona Linnett - Harpist

Congratulations to Ben and Jo! Wedding on Saturday at Vale Country Club Weddings & Events. Thank you for having me as part of your special day.

At Adina and Adam's lovely wedding yesterday at Hoghton Tower. I was with them for ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast.

Totally not harp related, but I just had to share this post I spotted from The Woolly Pedlar! I think this wedding coat-dress made from recyled knitwear is totally stunning and unique and would be amazing for a Winter wedding. #recycling #ecofashion #upcycling #weddingdress #ecowedding

Various beautiful wedding venues of the past week. Congratulations to all the lovely brides and grooms! Adcote School, Belle Epoque, The Normans #weddingharpist #giggingharpist #musician

I'm honoured to be invited and asked to perform at the opening of the Visual Art Open 2018 finalist exhibition at Chester Cathedral tomorrow evening. 30 talented artists will be displaying their work over the following 3 days, with free entry to the public from 26th October. #visualartopen #artcompetition #chestercathedral #harpist

Playing at Mirage Banquet Hall Bradford last Friday night for Zara and Hassnain's wedding. Congratulations to them both! Thanks to Joe Linnett and Apnabeat Entertainment for the photos. #asianwedding #bollywoodsongs #harpist #weddingbanquet

"Oona played at our wedding (30th September) it was such a magical day and Oona played all our fav tunes amazingly. Every wedding needs an Oona ❤️🎼" Many thanks to Debbie for the kind review from this lovely wedding in an unusual venue on an island!

"Dear Oona, thank you for playing at our wedding reception on September 13th. We absolutely loved your work and we wished we had hired a videographer so as to capture more of the beautiful music and atmosphere you helped create for us! With love and gratitude, Sophia & Richard" Richard Linnett Photography and I were honoured to be a part of Sophia and Richard's special day at Foxley Brow House Bed and Breakfast. Don't forget you can enjoy a discount of 10% on both our usual prices when you book us both for your wedding or event!

I just love having satisfied customers, it means so much to me. Congratulations once more to Marie and Vaughan (Rossett Hall, 20th Sept). #happybride #happyharpist

Today's wedding is across this bridge... #neveradullmoment #harplife #weddingharpist @ Waterton Park Hotel

Possibly my last outdoor wedding this year? Beautiful day at Iscoyd Park. Congratulations to Emily and Ryan! #weddingharpist #shropshirewedding #drinksreception

Great to meet so many lovely couples at yesterday's Wedding Fayre.

Planning your wedding in Cheshire? Come along to the Wedding Fayre tomorrow, 23rd September at Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa, Tarporley, CW6 0DJ, to hear the harp and chat about how it can enhance your special day, and of course meet lots of other great suppliers. 12pm to 4pm. See you there!

It's raining heavily but never mind! It's cosy and atmospheric here in the ceremony room at Rossett Hall Hotel. All set up ready for Marie and Vaughan's special day. #weddingharpist #ceremony

I really appreciated this positive feedback from another happy bride! Thank you very much, Paula. "Thank you Oona, you played beautifully on our wedding day. All our guests commented how amazing you were, we all enjoyed listening to you play whilst sat outside in the stunning gardens at Willington Hall Hotel. It was a perfect day, a special touch.I would highly recommend! Thanks again Mr & Mrs Stalgis" (photo by Alex Lewsley Photography)

September seems to be the month for birthdays! About to play for a birthday party at Chester Cricket Club. My third birthday party this month. #harpist #birthdayparty #itookmyharptoaparty

Really enjoyed playing at Lyndzi and Ashley's wedding last Saturday at Hadley Park House Hotel, Telford, and very much appreciated this lovely review afterwards. "We booked Oona for our wedding and she was spectacular! The most beautiful thing to walk down the aisle to. Everybody very much enjoyed her playing, especially during the sit down meal as everybody was trying to guess the song! Would recommend to anybody, she’s simply fantastic! Thank you Oona xxx"

A new website I'm featured on: How to I Do. They believe that 'by drawing together boutique, independent wedding businesses from across the North West in a user friendly website (without an assault of advertising!), wedding planning becomes easier, simpler and more fun for couples'! Sounds good to me.

Would like to thank Oona very much for a superb evening, everyone commented on how fantastic you were! Thank you!

Special Visit

-----------------

My daughter has unfortunately spent the last 6 years bedbound and is currently an inpatient in a rehabilitation unit. She is very musical and is an accomplished pianist and clarinet player, although it has been some years since she was well enough to play. In more recent years it has become an ambition of hers, in fact more of a dream really to watch a harp being played and to have a go on one and eventually to learn how to play. Thanks to Oona’s kindness and willingness to help, her dream has now become a reality!



Last month Oona visited her and took along her concert harp. The visit was a surprise and my daughter has talked about nothing else since – she has been so excited! Not only did she get to hear one of her favourite classical pieces but also Oona was kind enough teach her how to play a simple tune. This has provided a huge boost of hope for the future for my daughter in her quest to get well and has already greatly enhanced her quality of life, particularly as Oona has offered to visit regularly.



Thank-you once again Oona for your kindness, support and willingness to help fulfil my daughter’s ambition which is already making such a difference to her.

Have recommended Oona to many people in the area of our venue Rookery Hall Nantwich
