• May 11, 2024Anna was truly amazing, she made our wedding extra special. Her music is beautiful & walking down the aisle to our chosen song which she learned just for our special day was absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend enough, from my first enquiry to our wedding Anna was 10/10. Thank you so much!! X

• Nov. 4, 2023We cannot recommend Anna highly enough. Right from the beginning, conversing with her has been an absolute breeze. She has always on hand to address any queries and when we needed to alter the order of the day, this was not an issue at all. On the wedding day itself, she played beautifully. A personal highlight of mine was walking down the aisle to her playing La La Land. Absolutely magical! Our guests were also blown away by her performance and we have recommended her to our family and friends.

• March 12, 2022I simply can’t fault Anna, and her performance at our wedding was perfect. She is a talented musician and a genuinely friendly person too. I was blown away by her performance on the day. She plays beautifully and I wouldn't have wanted things any other way. She has a really wide repertoire and she even asked us if there were any additional pieces we would like her to learn. Our guests commented on how lovely it was to have a harpist, and how fun the mix of her music was. She played a lovely range for us (at our request) including wedding classics, welsh folk, and a huge range of fun modern pop too. If you’re sat on the fence about having a harpist for your event, just go for it and book Anna - you will not regret it.
