we can' t recommend ruth enough. even with just a few days notice, she was able to learn a piece of music very special to us. her beautiful music set the tone for our perfect day. our guests have all commented on ruth since our wedding, each telling us how she was the perfect choice! but we already know that .

humor
bill for his 2 - day leave, though she' s just become engaged to her stuffy suitor albert. can miriam' s cloud castle last the weekend without crashing to earth ?
after searching for someone to play at our wedding ceremony for quite some time, we finally stumbled upon ruth and couldn' t have been more pleased! ruth was brilliant and so accommodating, given the short notice. we just loved her music and have had so many comments and compliments on how wonderful she was. . everyone loved listening to her play in the lead up to the ceremony and we both thought it made our ceremony that little bit more special. thank you... ruth you are so talented and we will definitely recommend you !
dear jenni and ruth, just to say a big thank you for friday night. everything went brilliantly and i had a very fun time! food was great and staff were fab. shame i forgot the disco lighting, but it didn’t seem to stop people dancing! i will definitely be recommending you to friends and i am sure people who came to the party will think of using latest music bar in the future. you both made the whole thing really easy to arrange. best wishes sue

ruth played at our wedding in september 2016 and it was perfect! richard and i selected a few pieces prior to the day and we were able to hear her beautiful playing beforehand which was a real treat and also demonstrating her amazing talent allowing me worry about one less thing before our big day. having a harp as an accompaniment on your wedding day is really special and different... i would recommend ruth to anyone who is looking for that classic touch for their wedding and you can be assured she won' t let you down. happy new year to you ruth and keep up your amazing work! rebekah & richard xo

ruth played at our wedding 30 / 08 / 2015 at the alnwick garden, from the moment we met her at the sage wedding fair, she was very warm and welcoming and professional throughout making plans. her music brought a tear as she played canon in d as i entered the room and closed my ceremony with jason mraz' s i' m yours. i was happy to leave the rest to ruth as her talent is endless. we can' t thank her enough for being part of our special day and truly recommend her service

dear jeff, very belatedly i’m writing to say thank you for being willing to go ahead with jyotsna’s gig back in november. it was a lovely evening with the two genres, indian and greek, sitting well side by side each other. we all loved the venue. the crowd was not enormous but just enough to cover costs and enough to create a lovely atmosphere. the time i had to publicise it was very limited but what we did seemed to be effective. eleanor
i came across several harpists while searching for the perfect one for our wedding in march. ruth really stood out to me because of her song list which featured so many of today' s hits and songs everyone knows! she made our ceremony go so smoothly and set such a beautiful tone for our day. coming to dublin from abroad, i relied heavily on reviews and saw nothing but great words on ruth and her talent and was thrilled when i heard her play in person. thank you so much for being the perfect addition to our irish / texan wedding! ! xxx sara and david

i really cannot recommend ruth highly enough, it was an absolute pleasure to have her involved in our wedding. from the first time we met her during a wedding fair at crook hall, through to the day itself, we both knew that we had made the right decision to have her involved. ruth is so unbelievably friendly and accommodating, she helped to make our ceremony that bit more special. we had chosen some modern music, including sam smith' s' stay with me' for the walk down the aisle. although ruth didn' t initially have the music, she went out and got the sheet music, practised, and performed it so perfectly and so beautifully on the day - she really went above and beyond! for the few moments before walking down the aisle, i was so lost in the music that it was the only time in the day that i had tears in my eyes! (happy tears of course! )

for the funeral of my late father, the northern irish actor james ellis, we called on ruth to play
my lagan love
 at his funeral, having heard of her talents through a friend. this was a funeral attended by 500 people and broadcast by the bbc and itv during their news coverage. so with little time to both prepare the tune and fly over for the service from durham, this was no mean feat! ruth performed the piece on the day not only with absolute immaculate perfection, but moreover with a performance that was full of soul, beauty, heart and emotion. quite the most beautiful performance i have ever heard on the harp. everyone at the service, from the family to some of the fine actors and dignitaries invited on the day, commented on what a wondrous and moving performance it was. and all of this was delivered with absolutely no fuss, hassle or even questions whatsoever! ruth just magically prepared it on her own, turned up on the day, and delivered something we will never ever forget .
ruth, i wanted to congratulate you on a beautiful performance and let you know much how my friend and i and everyone else enjoyed your performance. the whole evening was delightful and very relaxing. i wondered if you were playing an electric harp or was it just a microphone plus acoustics. the sound was ethereal and truly of another world which only you with your skill, talent and mastery were able to produce. i really appreciated your skill in playing. thank you so much for a wonderful evening and the great joy in listening to your musicianship .
ruth. thank you from everyone at assisi for being part of a wonderful evening. you play the harp beautifully and had the audience enthralled .
———————————— - dear angi, i had the best time ever, and so did all my family and friends. thank you so much for all your hard work and to your staff who worked extremely professionally and made the night run so smoothly. we will all remember it for ever and ever – except those who drank too much! my brother was very chuffed that you enjoyed his music – for the past 15 years he has been buying music and practising for hours in his bedroom and it was absolutely brilliant that he was able to play – thanks. see you in the spring lucy
hi ruth, just a little message to say thank you so much for the beautiful music at our wedding, i hear from brides all the time that they plan many different songs for their wedding and then never even hear the music with all the excitement, but i heard every piece and loved it, you did an amazing job. thank you .
ruth, thank you so much for playing at our wedding in september, you added a really special touch to our ceremony with your music. i will be sure to recommend you to any of my friends and family. you really have a very special talent and are a lovely person to work with. wishing you all the very best in the future .

had the pleasure of ruth playing her harp at our wedding in september. she is honestly one of the most angelic, genuine & beautiful souls i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. i am still in total awe of her, she has such a gift, and was honestly one of my favourite parts of our wedding, just wish i could have heard her play longer. could not recommend this lady enough, she is definitely in her own league & one of a kind. wish there were more people like her in the world x
hi ruth, i just wanted to thank you for everything. all my guests said they had a great weekend! not only did they enjoy being able to stay the weekend, but they loved the food! that seems to be the first thing out of everyone' s mouth when i talk to them. everything seemed to go smoothly and it was nice not having to set up or put anything away. everyone that worked there was friendly and made sure all my things were in one spot so i didn' t have to worry. it was so nice !

hi ruth... .. what a wedding! the moose was a beautiful touch, of course, as i' m sure you' ve heard several times. what a hoot! : o) thanks again for all your wonderful work and support. i think i was ready to lose my mind a couple of times before i talked to you and you sounded so calm and reassuring that everything would be wonderful... you have a great crew of people working with you as wait staff and kitchen crew. the food was delicious, everything looked wonderful, and the relatives that you met all sang your praises on how efficient you were and how everything happened the way we wanted it to... we had a great day... actually, it was awesome .
