Here are some recent references from a satisfied bride and groom: "We are writing to extend our deepest appreciation for your performance at our recent wedding. From the first time we contacted you for information, you have been more than helpful in answering our questions. Because of your friendly manner and individualized attention, we truly felt as if our music selection were unique. At the same time, your professionalism ensured a smooth development of plans and a perfect day. The music pieces chosen for our wedding day were truly beautiful. Many guest commented on your wonderful and talented performance. We especially appreciated having you perform the solo piece during the ceremony, which will now always be connected with our marriage. To show our appreciation and satisfaction, we would be more than happy to provide a positive reference at any time." Courtney and

"I was enthralled by Ellen's performance at my wedding in November. She played with two colleagues--a fiddler and a flute player...together, their music was entrancing. I have a Ph.D. in Folk Culture and I can tell you that Ellen's traditional musical sound is altogether authentic and representative of the very best in Celtic harping. (That said, her classical pieces were perfectly lovely too.) Let me also say that I was amazed by Ellen's responsiveness and professionalism. To illustrate: two or three days before my wedding date, I decided I really wanted a pretty obscure Irish air [Moran's Return] for the processional... I sent a recording of the piece to Ellen (to whom it was also unfamiliar) and -- abra-ca-dabra -- it was played flawlessly, just as I had dreamed."
