Part of my special day.
I saw Abigail at a wedding fair and wanted her as part of my wedding straight away. She was amazing, she learnt new songs for the day and plays effortlessly. I kept it a surprise from my guests and everyone was blown away. Highly recommended.

Breathtakingly beautiful 🥰
Abigail recently played the violin at our wedding ceremony and it completely made it for us.
She is an extremely talented musician and hearing our choice of songs playing away before I made my entrance gave me butterflies.
I had listened to a few local musicians takes on our chosen songs and I felt Abigail executed them perfectly just like the original artists.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and I will certainly use her for anything in the future.
Thank you so much!

Amazing performance
We would highly recommend Abigail if you want a magic touch on your special day. We first met Abigail at a wedding fair when we heard her play. We asked her to play a song for us and were amazed that she could play it there and then, without any notes.
Abigail was lovely to work with. She was very open to our music choices and gave us great advice on what would work for our apecial day. We cant recommend Abigail highly enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing talented lovely lady!!!
We booked Abigail for our wedding — she played me down the aisle, during the signing of the register, and for our reception drinks. She was an absolute delight from start to finish! Her music was incredible, and communication throughout was so easy. All of our guests commented on how beautiful it was and loved that special touch. There were so many songs to choose from — we were truly spoilt for choice. She even made my mum cry with her talent! Such a special part of our day. Highly recommend! 💕✨

Abigail was absolutely amazing at our wedding, it was such an easy experience booking with her and we felt like she has everything under control! We got tons of compliments about the music on the day - it made for such a lovely vibe during our ceremony and drinks reception. She's also just a lovely person! Absolutely would recommend Abigail!
