"We booked Lizz for our wedding reception and she was absolutely fantastic - punctual, friendly and talented, what more could you want?! She played beautifully for our guests and mingled too - wonderful addition to our reception and really made our wedding feel homely! Thank you for being such a star!"

"Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find through lastminutemusicians that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam."

"Working with Lyra Strings was an absolute pleasure. After reaching out to LIPA for musician recommendations, Lyra Strings responded quickly with video samples and her bio. As the only solo musician at the event, Lyra Strings had a demanding schedule with multiple 1-1.5 hour performances. Despite this, she delivered flawless performances that created a beautifully relaxed and intimate atmosphere for our Cream Tea Experience. Since the event, we’ve received so many lovely comments from visitors who were impressed by her music. I would highly recommend Lara for any occasion that calls for a sophisticated and elegant musical touch."

"Thank you so much from the entire Development team at Kellogg for making this last minute booking so easy and stress-free - you have been a delight to liaise with. Eleanor was absolutely wonderful and we've had so much positive feedback on her performance(s). She was just all around lovely to work with, and had the patience of a saint when the speeches ran over, and we look forward to booking her (and working with yourselves) for future events."

"Thank you again for playing at our wedding, it really was wonderful and helped create the perfect ambience at our reception.  All of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the music and also guessing the harp version of popular songs.  Thank you again, we will definitely be recommending you to anyone interested.  All the best Caroline  "

"Knowing already of Zoe, and having heard recordings of her playing, I was confident in her ability to play well, and I asked her to to play the harp at our wedding. The 2 pieces I had selected - Gabriel's Oboe (from The Mission), and a piece from the film Tangled were performed beautifully! About the prelude music (before I entered), my friend said it was 'amazing'. Zoe is a wonderful, talented performer and composer. I would recommend her."
