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.

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.

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.
