Emily is a very talented lady, she created such a magical atmosphere for our wedding ceremony in church.
All the guests commented on how beautiful she played. Emily communicated with me every step of the way,she even asked what colour the groomsmen and bridesmaids were so she could colour coordinate! I would definately recommend Emily if your wanting an extra special moment. Thankyou so much 💓

Excellent and really professional. I would highly recommend
I was a little nervous when I booked Emily to play at our wedding as I'd not heard her play before so it was a little bit of a gamble.
What can I say, the gamble really did pay off. Emily was extremely professional, not just on the day but in the lead up to the wedding aswell. She was in contact with me regularly and provided us with a huge playlist and even offered to play songs that weren't on the list. She even asked what the colour scheme was so she could dress for the occasion!
Emily is a really talented violinist and it went down really well at our wedding with many commenting on how lovely it was.
I would highly recommend her to anybody!

fantastic accompniment to our special day
I looked at several musicians whilst planning our wedding. Emily was quick to respond and very friendly. Throughout our contact including tutoring my fiance to play the piano down the isle which was fantastic, Elily has been a star. So supportive and helpful with any (and there were many) questions, suggestiins and going over and above to find links and ideas for us throughout as our wedding was not your typical one. On the day again we could not fauly her and her husband. They played faultless and again above and beyond to the point they were mentioned by the grooms father in the speach at our wedding breakfast. We were thrilled by our experience of them and are so glad they played for us on our special day
Highly reccomended - Thank you so much
