We booked her to play as our guests arrived before the wedding ceremony and then as I walked down the aisle, and she did such a beautiful job. Her talent is unbelievable and the music was absolutely perfect for the ceremony. She was also probably the easiest supplier from our entire wedding to deal with! She is the loveliest person, so friendly and made everything incredibly easy from start to finish. Joana played such an important part in one of the biggest moments of our day and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better. Thank you so much, Joana, for being such a special part of our wedding. I couldn’t recommend The Tiny Musician enough!" 15th September 2026 Sophia James - Wedding Photo of Triskelt Triskelt "It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day.
