Myself and Ian had Amy at the chirch singing and playing the harp throughout the service. We couldn't be happier with the way she played and sang. It was so touching and beautiful.
Nothing at all was a problem for Amy. She offered to learn songs at such late notice of me booking her.
We would definitely reccomend Amy.
she is such a lovely person also.

We wanted to say a big thank you for performing at our wedding day, we thought the music beautifully complemented the ceremony and reception. Also, we understand from some of the other guests that the flower girls were especially taken by the harp and your playing!
It was really straight forward dealing with you before the wedding and we really appreciated your help and guidance in selecting music. We would highly recommend you to others.

Amy sang for our church ceremony a few weeks ago, the harp and her voice were beautiful together and everyone commented on how lovely our music was.
Amy was great at recommending songs for us and also for learning our recessional song.
I would definitely recommend Amy.

Amy was amazing from start to finish. From the moment I contacted her she was so quick to get back to me and so helpful when planning the music for the service. I had seen some you tube videos so I knew she was good but on the day she was even more amazing than expected. Every single guest commented on how amazing the music and her voice were and it is one of my favourite parts of our wedding day when I look back.
Looking back at my wedding video you can see people in tears it was so emotional.
To top it all off the price was so reasonable compared to other wedding musicians/singers that I thought she had made a mistake when quoting the price to me. I hope she is charging a bit more now because she deserves it and it would still be good value for money and well worth it!
I'd highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for music for their wedding.

As a professional musician myself, the ceremony music was something extremely important to me, and I knew I was asking a lot by choosing Schubert’s Ave Maria for the bridal entrance — a difficult classical piece, especially on the Irish harp and outside the more traditional Celtic repertoire that Amy’s background is rooted in. Despite this, she went above and beyond to learn and perform it beautifully for our day.
Not only did she handle such a challenging piece with real professionalism and sensitivity, but she also created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the ceremony with her beautiful harp playing and singing. The mix of traditional Irish pieces and reverent hymns music made the whole occasion feel incredibly special and emotional.
Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish, and I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking for music that brings warmth, elegance and atmosphere to a wedding or special occasion.
