Testimonials
“Now that all the excitement has died down, we just want to thank you once more for your performance and for making Saturday such a wonderful day for us and our guests. Everyone was truly thrilled and it turned what was always bound to be a happy day into the happiest day of our lives.”

Dear Sara,
On behalf of everyone here at the Ashmolean, I wanted to write and say thank you for arranging for Rebecca to perform at the Ashmolean’ event on Friday. Rebecca was wonderful. Her playing set the tone of the evening perfectly, created a magical atmosphere and contributed to the success of the evening. From the moment our guests walked in the door, the sound of the harp helped to make this an extraordinary occasion.
Not only did Rebecca played brilliantly, but she was also friendly and cheerful, which made her a pleasure to have at the event.
Thanks once again for helping to make this possible.
Yours sincerely
Helen Duncan
