Jessica O' Malley, Wedding
I'm so sorry it's been so long since the wedding. It's been a crazy 6 months and I meant to thank you way before now, but better late than never. I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for the fabulous music at our wedding, I loved every bit of it and we had so many people commenting on it. I will remember it forever. Thank you so much, and again I apologise on the delay.
John Buckley, Composer
The Cheshire Harpist is one of the most exciting young musicians in Ireland today. Her technical brilliance and wonderful musicianship are matched by her vibrant style of presentation. Her performances are simply spellbinding.
Stuart & Karen
We had decided early on in the wedding plans that we would have a harpist to play at the wedding. As soon as we got in contact with The Cheshire Harpist we knew we had made the right choice. She was extremely accommodating and very professional throughout especially when assisting in choosing songs and laying out the music for the day. Her understanding of the suitable timing of songs during the ceremony was absolutely fantastic and the sound was simply beautiful. She was a pleasure to deal with and we cannot recommend The Cheshire Harpist highly enough for both her outstanding talent and a sound so beautiful that any wedding should not be without!!!
Clare-Anne
Thank you for 2 fantastic performances at our wedding in October, both yourself and Mary were fabulous.
Goretti & Fergus
Just a short note to say thank you so much to you for your beautiful performance at our wedding on the 6th of June. It really was the highlight of the ceremony for me and you were both a dream to deal with during the lead up.
Claire and Eoin
