Absolutely brilliant.

Harriette played at our wedding at Leez Priory in January 2026, she was absolutely fantastic throughout. We had our guests messaging the next day saying how fantastic she was. Highly recommended.

Amazing violinist for weddings!

Harriette was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she was organised, responsive, and so easy to communicate with. She sent us audio recordings ahead of time so we could rehearse, which made the whole process seamless and stress-free. On the wedding day, she followed every instruction perfectly, was patient, and brought such a calm, professional energy to the occasion.
Her violin playing was truly beautiful and added the most elegant touch to our ceremony it was everything we had hoped for and more. Harriette was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Just amazing

Harriette played for us on our wedding day, 18.07.25 and we cannot thank her enough. The music was incredible, she is so talented, everyone said how beautiful the songs were. The song list to choose from is huge! Harriette was so quick to reply and couldn’t be more helpful. So glad we opted to have her play during drinks reception too. Would highly recommend and I am so excited for our wedding video to come back so I can hear the music again 🥰

Just amazing!

We can’t thank HB Violinist enough for the incredible music she brought to our wedding day. Her playing was absolutely beautiful—elegant, emotional, and truly set the tone for the entire ceremony. What made it even more special was that she learned a brand-new song just for my entrance. It was such a meaningful moment for us, and she performed it flawlessly. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the music was. HB Violinist is not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and a joy to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to add something truly magical to their special day.

Incredible!

Harriette was just fabulous. From the moment I saw a few clips, I knew she would be great but she surpassed all expectations! We opted for her Ceremony package but I regret not getting her to play more. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special for us, learning songs that meant a lot to us including one particularly difficult one in a short space of time! She was great at communicating throughout and on the day played so beautifully AND even coordinated attire with our festive theme! All in all 11/10 and would highly recommend for your wedding day 🌟

Feedback from a recent wedding where I was the bride’s chauffeur.

I was a chauffeur at a recent wedding when I heard Harriet playing the violin for a church wedding. As I stood attentively by my car listening to the echo of the acoustic coming from the church hall I was mesmerised. Pure class and a lovely ambiance.

I have a recital in three days times and I approached Harriet to see whether she could record a violin score for me as I was playing a classical piano piece and needed some backing.
Even though she said she was busy…48 hours later she sends me a recording for me to use on Saturday for my piano recital. I could kiss this woman till she blushes. Talk about exceeding expectations. This violinist is just pure class and very talented.

A fabulous addition to our day

Harriette was a superstar from the first WhatsApp message! She is exceptionally organised and really brings your ideas to life! She is so kind and makes you feel like you have an old friend at your wedding, whilst also blending seamlessly into the background. She was willing to learn extra Taylor Swift for us so we’d recommend her to anyone. We can’t thank her enough for being part of our special day.

Brother's wedding

Harriette played violin beautifully for my brother's wedding. She arranged slipped away by perfume genius for them to walk down the aisle to. Also provided music before the service and brought a tear to my mum's eye when she played Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley.
