• March 16, 2024Rhianwen was fantastic. She played during our 3 course meal and although there were 120 people in the room talking, you could hear the harp quite clearly.
I opted to let Rhianwen choose the music and she played beautifully during our formal dinner - I highly recommend it.
The guests thought it was fantastic and many comments were received today about how wonderful the harp was.
Thank you Rhianwen, hopefully your available again next year.
