Working with Ellie is a breath of fresh air. She always brings an inspiring musical elegance that she is very good at applying to any genre, bringing a new fresh element to the way you can use the sound of the harp to elevate your music.
Thank you so much for being so wonderful at our wedding. You were an absolute highlight, the guests are still raving about you! Also, thank you for all the advice you gave me about the music choices for the day.
Thank you!

If you could please pass on our thanks to Ellie for playing so beautifully at our daughter’s wedding. All of the guests commented on how wonderful the harp was and how good Ellie played. She added a special touch to the service.
I just wanted to drop you a line and say what a wonderful day Rebecca and Greg had for their wedding and that Eleanor made it with her music. We had many comments on how beautifully she played and wanted to let you know so that you may pass them on to her – along with our thanks.
She was wonderful – the bride was moved to tears!
