Overwhelmed by the amazing talent displayed

Hi Mandy, Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I am really just emailing to pass on my sincere thanks to 1st Choice Entertainment and The Harpist Directory for providing an exceptional musician, Rebecca, to play the harp at our wedding just before Christmas. Both Aidan and I were completely overwhelmed by the amazing talent displayed by Rebecca on our special day. She was a real professional, throughout the process of agreeing playlists she gave valuable advice on what would work well, and offered flexibility to suit our needs. She communicated every step of the way and we always felt confident that she would be reliable. Rebecca is a real professional and we are so pleased that she played such a major role at our wedding. She has an amazing musical talent and we would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca or 1st Choice Entertainment in the future. Many thanks for the role you also played in making this so perfect for us! I have thanked Rebecca separately, but also wanted to let you know how pleased we were with her performance. Sending you our best wishes. Jo

A Huge Thankyou!!!

Hi Rebecca, I am sorry I did not get the chance to thank you properly before you had to leave yesterday. But just to say that apart from being a lovely person your playing was fantastic! It really made a lovely atmosphere for us all and I think was a major factor in helping to make our special day so special. Also a big thank you for being so patient with the children especially Oliver!! That was beyond the call of duty but he loved it, thank you. I would certainly give you 10 out of 10 and recommend you to anybody who asks about wedding music or a harpist. Again thank you very very much for your time and talent and patience. Take care and best wishes. Adrian
