" Hi Helen

Thank you so very much for being such a special part of our big day. Your arrangement of Hourglass was just as beautiful as I was imagining it. I’m not much of a crier but as soon as I heard it start, I had a lump in my throat and my wedding felt so real suddenly!!

All of the music you played was absolutely beautiful and I’m so thankful that we came across you and that you were a part of our big day.

Again, thank you so much.

Hannah, "
