Hayley was incredible and made our special day that bit more special

Hayley played incredible at our wedding. For the ceremony and for the drinks reception. She learnt a song just for us to make our day even more perfect. It really added such an extra special touch to our day and it was really amazing

Beautiful music

Hayley was amazing! Literally everyone commented on how good she was & a few of our guests have asked for her name for their future events. I wish I got more of a chance to hear her play but as the bride I missed the pre ceremony music and our photographer had whipped us away for the majority of the drinks reception. My husband said she was fabulous and my notoriously hard to please mother was blown away and even more impressed when she found out she’s played with Jouls Holland! Would not hesitate to hire Hayley again and definitely recommend her for any event.

Simply Amazing violinist

We had Hayley play at our wedding ceremony on the 10th June 2022 as I wanted my wife, to come down the aisle with violin music playing in the background. I must admit having hayley play her music was certainly the best decision. Hayley is very professional and had great communication all the way through the process. Hayley is very flexible and every song I asked her for she was able to do. Hayley was even able to give us a few samples which i was very impressed with. Hayley does a beautiful version of You are the reason by Callum Scott, which is what my wife walked down the aisle to. Our guests all commented saying how beautiful Hayleys music was and really set up a great atmosphere for when the ceremony began. I would highly reccomend Hayley to anyone thank you for making the ceremony so special.

Just Amazing

Hayley played at our wedding on the 1st of June. What a day it was. Having Hayley playing through our ceremony made it even more romantic and magical. Hayley also played our drinks reception our guests was amazed by her performance. So professional but also relaxed which was amazing. One of our guests described it as a scene from bridgeton. Best thing we did was to have Hayley be a part of our special day.

Made our day PERFECT!

From the start Hayley was friendly, professional and made the whole choosing a set process easy and fun for us. She was flexible and happy to learn songs at our request (she learned a whole set of just Dido for us!) Her learning song fee was perfectly fair, and she was great and understanding with the rebookings we went through and how we wanted the day to go. On the day her performance throughout was spectacular, and made walking down the aisle, and then our first dance, compeltely magical. All of our guests agree she was fabulous,and we could not recommend her more. Thank you, Hayley!

Hayley - Wedding Violinist

We would like to say a massive thank you to you for really making our ceremony and drinks reception! You were fantastic and we absolutely loved hearing you play! It was definitely what I had dreamt of hearing as I walked down the aisle. Every one of our guests commented on how lovely it was to both watch you play and to listen to you, and how it made the atmosphere of the reception.
