Photo of Harp - Amelia Tokarska Harp - Amelia Tokarska "Amelia delivered a truly stunning performance at our wedding reception. The harp music created an elegant and emotional atmosphere that our guests are still talking about. She was professional, punctual, and very accommodating with our song requests. Her talent and presence added something genuinely special to the day. I would highly recommend Amelia Tokarska for any event where you want beautiful live music and a memorable experience." 25th May 2026 Martin Novák - Wedding Reception Photo of Jennyandthekelts Jennyandthekelts "A devilish rhythm, a galloping melody and a captivating voice" 15th July 2026 Denis Popper music mag - Pop celtic contemporary artist Photo of Issac, Woods-Hudson, Bagpiping Services Issac, Woods-Hudson, Bagpiping Services "Issac was amazing!!

It was an extraordinary day and we were all super pleased. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend for any event you may have." 30th July 2026 Nancy Williamson - 90th birthday Photo of Piper Iain Lang Piper Iain Lang "Iain was very professional and his performance was excellent.
