2nd June, 2010
Dear Nerys.
This is a very overdue thank you for your fantastic playing at our civil partnership ceremony on 2nd June at Stathan Lodge Hotel. You may remember that it was a wonderfully sunny day and your music just seemed to make the sun shine even brighter. We were both particularly delighted at your choice of repertoire, and remember particularly your including some of the music we had chosen ourselves as part of the ceremony.
Many of guests commented on how beautifully you played and we can only agree with them wholeheartedly. You very definitely added to what we wanted to be (and was) a thoroughly enjoyable day with an elegant atmosphere. Lance told me he has previously recommended you to other couples planning a ceremony at the Lodge and you are now first on his list when it comes to that recommendation.
I have attached a couple of photographs from the day and hope that (even though you were working) you also enjoyed yourself.
Kind regards and best wishes
John and Lance

Dear Nerys,
Anna's mum here, we had a couple of brief words at Bryn Howel on Friday, but I did just want to thank you again for the lovely music you provided before and during the meal. So many people commented on it, how just right it all felt, and how very nice it was to have the harp music in the background. You played some lovely pieces and one or two that Anna herself plays with her sister Sally, who was one of the bridesmaids. Anna didn't miss a note when you were playing, it really helped to lift her to another serene level if such a thing was possible on such a happy day!
As you probably know Anna herself is a flautist and Sally is a pianist ( just about to start her Masters at the RCM in London) and Sally has arranged several things including the Ashokan Farewell for the girls to play with another flute, piano and Celllo to great effect.
So they were both very glad to hear that.
Anyway, thank you again!
Best Wishes

Dear Nerys,
I really cannot close my Wedding Files without writing to you for the part you played at Emma and Marc's Wedding.
The sound of the harp was just too perfect wafting across the garden on such an idyllic afternoon. It was dreadfully missed whenever you stopped playing and our guests were very compelled. My father has asked for a copy of the photograph that was taken of you.
It had also the wonderful effect of calming us after such a fraught journey to church as poor Emma was Thirty minutes late because of the car.
In fact, considering that asking you to play was a relatively last minute idea I cannot imagine what it would have been like without you.
Picnics in the garden will never be the same again I'm sure the music will always be here.
And it was lovely to meet you at last.
Thank you so very much.
