Bryn and Liz’s wedding, 30th July

Dear Victoria,

Thank you for playing the harp at our wedding yesterday. Sorry we didn’t get time to speak to you but would like to say it was so beautiful to hear during the meal.

Kind Regards

Bryn & Liz Dobson

Playing for GAIN

Victoria played a private party for Baldwin’s Travel Agency on the 23rd July.

Victoria played the harp to raise awareness and money for GAIN, a charity which supports those affected by GBS and associated inflammatory neuropathies.

Her father has in the last two weeks been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré but thankfully, due to excellent treatment at KCH and expert physiotherapy, is already starting to make good progress.

Victoria is donating her fee to the Charity which has been a great support to her and her family.

Amber and Ash’s wedding, 15th June

Hi Victoria,

I just want to say a huge thank you for yesterday. You looked fab and sounded amazing. It was fantastic how you helped to gel the ceremony together, our families were so impressed with the whole wedding, but their first reaction was you and the orangery which just set the day.
Thank you so much once again Victoria.

Rachel and Sam

Dear Victoria,

Victoria plays at the wedding of Rachel and Sam

I have been meaning to write to you for some time now to say thank you so much for playing so beautifully on our wedding day, it was so lovely having the chance to listen to you during the signing of the register and at drinks and dinner, it was the most special day and we have had so many compliments from our friends and family on how wonderful you were. It was so seamless and I can’t thank you enough for that. One of my friends said she wanted to arrange a garden party just so she could invite you to play.

I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to speak to you – the day went faster than I could ever have imagined it would.

I’m so pleased with all of the music we selected in particular the Handel Passacaglia during the register signing, this was the first moment of calm for me and I will never forget actually taking a second to listen to you play during that wonderful moment.

Our photographer took a few pictures of you which I wanted to share as I thought they were beautiful.

Thank you again Victoria,

Rachel x
