We had Elly place at our wedding for ceremony and canapés and she was just perfect. We loved every song she played, could not fault her. Great to work with and the guests loved her too. Thanks so much for being part of our special day and for playing and singing such beautiful music xx

We had Elly play at our wedding. She was absolutely amazing. So many people came up to us the day after and showed us videos of her playing and raved to us about how good she was. I cannot recommend her enough. Thanks so much Elle for helping to make our day so special!

Chris Mckernan | Wedding

Elly sung at our wedding ceremony on the 12th of February 2022. She was absolutely incredible, you really can’t beat having someone singing you down the aisle, it added even more emotion and butterfly feels to that special moment. We had guests come up to us throughout the day complimenting her wonderful voice. Would definitely recommend!

Laura & Cam | Wedding

Had Elly play at my wedding and she was truly amazing! So incredibly talented and all the guests have told me about how incredible she was and the songs were perfect! You’d be lucky to have her and the band play at your event!

Jennifer & Liam | Wedding

Just wanted to say thank you so much for Saturday night. You were fantastic! I’ve had so many friends comment on how much they enjoyed your singing. It really helped to make it a lovely night.
