Louise Mangan - Harpist Feedback
“She was a pleasure to work with and her talent and professionalism added a special sprinkling of magic to our big day. We were invited to her home so that we could hear her play and she went that extra mile to learn a piece of music especially for the ceremony. The guests loved the harp music and we have received many positive comments since the wedding. We would have absolutely no reservations about recommending her to others.
”
“She provided a professional service from the initial booking right through till her final play of music. She played her harp beautifully and provided the most stunning backdrop for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception. Everyone remarked how wonderful she was playing the harp, plus her choice of music was exact. We cannot thank her enough for making their day not only special, but magical. Thank you,
