Thank you so much for the amazing job you did playing the harp at our wedding. It was so spectacular hearing the harp in the castle. We loved the Jason Mraz song we asked for during the signing of the register - thank you so much.

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day at The Woodlands at Hothorpe Hall! You were so so amazing and I couldn’t thank you enough for being a part of our day and making it extra special. Your music is so beautiful and you’re incredibly talented! As soon as I walked down and heard you playing our song, it was so romantic and perfect! I can’t recommend Soraya enough, so helpful, professional and just a pure delightful person. Thank you!
