Such a wonderful thing to have our own song played at our wedding. Walking down the isle to this was so special. Thank you. Now everyone wants to have a singing harpist at their wedding!

Sea of Love has always been our favourite song, and Ellie played it as we walked down the isle. It was a beautiful moment that I will never forget. I highly recommend Ellie, her music is perfect!
