We were extremely pleased that we booked Thea to play at our wedding ceremony. I had a special request which Thea was able to put together and it was exactly what I’d imagined. The music really added to the atmosphere on the day and we also got great feedback from our guests. Thanks again!

Thea is a beautiful pianist. It was an absolutely pleasure having her playing for my birthday party. The music was very beautiful and it created an amazing relaxed atmosphere. We had a great time and it was really easy to organise with Thea. She was very reliable, professional and was always prompt to reply. Would definitely book again

Thea played for my wedding and it was beautiful. Thea played during the ceremony and also for my drinks reception. It was simply wonderful and we absolutely loved it. Thea was great to work with and was more than happy to learn a new song for me to come down the aisle to
