Describe your typical process with a couple.
From the minute of booking, I'm just a phone call or email away. After having decided which package you would like, I request that we both sign a booking contract and that you pay a deposit of £100 upon booking. Should you wish to meet before you book or ahead of your wedding day, I am available for meetings in my studio in the west end of Glasgow. My harp is there too so should you want to hear any songs in particular, I am happy to play you some snippets in your meeting.
With regards to song choices, I don't require these until one month before the wedding and I'm happy to learn any special requests you may have!

The Whole of the Moon: The Waterboys
