Booked for Wedding

"Julia was amazing!! I booked her a surprise for my husband for our wedding. Julia communicated excellently ahead of date, checking out which outfit to wear and what songs to play. Julia liaised directly with the venue to keep everything a secret from my husband. Being from a Scottish family - julia’s playing certainly brought a tear to the eye of my new husband and many family members! Julia looked amazing in her traditional uniform and played the pipes amazingly well. We even had an opportunity to pose with julia for some photos before she played us into our wedding breakfast. Julia, thank you! You certainly did not disappoint us!! I would highly recommend julia!!"
