The Quality of your playing was really outstanding and the special requests sounded BRILLIANT! We loved watching people recognize the music they were listening to ‘is this Nirvana?’ etc. It was really fun and also sounded so beautiful too… It was such a happy talking point of the wedding (and since..) that we are truly grateful to you for all the hard work involved.
