We would like to thank you for your help with our wedding. Both yourself and Zoe were fabulous. We had a wonderful, emotional, celebratory day. Our guests all became emotional during the service and you set them off with the Flower duet. When we went to sign the marriage register apparently Zoe and yourself killed our congregation! We are told that there were burly northern builders weeping and all the children were mesmerised by your voices. People talked of how you made the hair stand up on the back of their necks. To be honest this is just what we hoped for, so a huge thank you for that.
The day after we spoke to one of my uncles and played the website audio sample back to him...he burst into tears again. Lovely.
"What a wonderful day we had, particularly due to you! It was the most wonderful finish to a great afternoon. Everyone was surprised, for a start, and then enthralled, and finally amused!!
