"Ellie responded to any questions leading up to the event promptly. She was a true professional and didn't require any guidance from us, she just knew what to do. The music was fantastic and added a lovely atmosphere to the reception meal. Everyone enjoyed it!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Ellie was excellent. Her playing was sublime and the range of her music was brilliant. The gentle sound of her harp was appropriate and just exactly what we had hoped for at our Afternoon Tea. Ellie could not have made us happier. What a lovely young lady Ellie is and I wish her all the very best for her future assignments. Thanks and regards to Ellie."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Ellie Tessa brought so much more than just her beautiful music to my event. Firstly, and I think very importantly, I found the booking process worked well through FixTheMusic, and I was quite happy that the details of where, when, what, how long and how much were all covered. Ellie went the extra mile and confirmed access details with the venue, and I was pleased that she not only arrived in good time, but was set up and ready to go without any fuss. I can recommend her to anyone booking a wedding or similar sort of complicated (and stressful) event, as it's one less thing to worry about. Secondly, Ellie presented herself well and engaged with my guests (something I had asked for her to do), and my guests all took an interest. I wanted more than just music, I wanted to learn about this instrument and what it's like to play it, and Ellie educated, entertained and informed us. My guests were queuing up to ask questions afterwards, and all were bubbling over with praise. Thirdly, it seems almost odd to mention it last, her music was wonderful, with each song more enchanting than the last."
