Such a talent and pleasure to work with

Emily is such a fantastic person, planning our wedding wasn't easy but every single bit of communication with Emily put me at ease, it felt like I was speaking with one of my best friends, she is so friendly, approachable and professional.
I was lucky enough to see Emily perform on my hen do and she made the effort to come and meet me and it felt like I had known her years.
Our wedding ceremony was beautifully complimented by Emily's pure talent - we asked her to perform an upbeat Pitbull song for our exit and this was delivered so effortlessly and all our guests were raving about how great she was!
We will forever be grateful for working with such a wonderful person! Thank you again from Mr & Mrs Elder x

Awful and a complete disappointment

Made her own error on her contracts and invoices (months before the event on booking - more than 6 months!) then just before our event blamed us, forced us to pay for her error. We ended up having to pay extra on top of the stress the week of our wedding events beginning and THEN AFTER THIS .... she decided to withdraw leaving us high and dry. Significant amount of anxiety with an absolute lack of care about the distress caused by her. Would not trust or recommend at all! Horrible experience and absolutely shattering for us, particularly when this was a surprise for my mum who was admitted the same week into hospital. No sense of remorse or reflection on how she has made us feel, ESPECIALLY the impact and toll on us. DEVASTATED!

Emily Harding's reply:

Thank you for your feedback. However, I must take issue with its content as I do not feel it represents a fair reflection of what transpired. I was completely open and honest about the error at every step of the process and I regard 100% transparency as one of the cornerstones of my business.

There was a human error made on my part of one digit when creating the invoice, which made the booking suddenly appear £100 cheaper than agreed in writing prior to drawing this contract up. I completely admit that it was a while before I realised that this error had been made. However, we had agreed the price in writing before I produced the invoice, and even showed you screenshots of our conversation in which the price was agreed. I did apologise unreservedly for this error while repeatedly stating how sympathetic I was to your situation with your mother, and as soon as I discovered the error I corrected the invoice straight away.

As this had been a simple human error, and the price had been agreed in the first place, I assumed that we would be able to honour the originally agreed (and correct) price. I did not change the price in any way. It was a simple typo which was explained as soon as I realised. All correspondence between us had reflected the original agreed price throughout. You refused to accept the mistake, despite being shown screenshots of our conversation agreeing the price, and wanted me to knock £100 off the agreed price.

Eventually, begrudgingly, you paid the correct agreed amount for the booking. However, this was then accompanied by a great deal of language which created an intimidating atmosphere for me and my colleagues, as a supplier coming to your event. At this point, I decided that I did not feel comfortable proceeding with this booking.

It was clear that there was no way in which anything I did was going to meet with your approval and I did not feel comfortable proceeding. I wished you all the best and refunded all of the moneys received as soon as you provided me with your bank details, which you refused to do for a number of days.

I did everything within my power to resolve this issue amicably and I regret that this was not possible.

Again, I wish you all the best for the future.

Did the reviews win you over?

Thank you ever so much for your lovely review, Peter. I had a wonderful day with you all, celebrating the wedding of Hayley and Jordan. I think ‘I’ has a bright future in front of her and always just get in touch if you’d like any more help along the way with her violin journey (info@yorkshireviolinist.com). Wishing Hayley and Jordan all the very best for a happy and long marriage!
All the very best,
Emily

Fantastic communication and the best atmosphere

From the beginning Emily was amazing, from submitting our initial enquiry she responded promptly and did so ever since! Emily and colleagues played during our reception drinks, guests loved the music and it created the perfect backdrop/atmosphere!

We cannot thank you enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect and everything we'd imagined. I would highly recommend Emily!!

Beautiful atmospheric violinist

Emily was a wonderful supplier to work with; she communicated with us efficiently and made our wedding at Askham Hall in Penrith more personal and created a beautiful, joyful atmosphere with her music.

Not a dry eye during our ceremony

I reached out to Emily a year before our ceremony for an initial quote and I am SO glad we booked her. The wedding would not have been the same without her, there wasn’t a dry eye during our ceremony (she even had all the groomsmen crying). So easy to communicate with and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Emily, you made it even more magical! X

Yorkshire Violinist

From the first time getting in touch with Emily she was always so helpful,professional and happy to advise/help with ideas for the music for our wedding. I couldn't decide on a couple of songs so she helped with this and provided us with a huge repertoire list which blew us away.

I loved the fact she let the groom choose a song just for him (Stone Roses - I wanna be adored) and that's the song I have remembered since just before my entrance. My twin boys have since listened to this track a lot!

I heard the music whilst I was getting ready in the bridal suite and the photographer and make up artist noted how amazing Emily sounded. My make up artist said it gave her goose bumps.

I can't honestly recommend the YV enough,such a lovely,approachable and hugely talented artist and Emily really gave our wedding the wow factor. If money was no object I would have hired her for the full day as we both could have happily listened all day.

Don't hesitate to book,you won't regret it.

Great communication and beautiful music

I met Emily at the Victoria Hall wedding fair around Christmas 2022. My fiancé had expressed how he wanted live music for our ceremony so I spent some time talking to Emily on the day to find out about the packages. Emily was great at getting back to me before booking with any questions I had and in the end we booked a Gold Trio package.

Together with Emily, we were able to create a beautiful, personalised ceremony playlist which combined my love of Taylor Swift with Ryan's love of Lord of the Rings, to our shared appreciation of Star Wars and Tarantino music.

I will never forget hearing the strings as I walked down the aisle, it was perfect.

Our guests loved the music and it provided a wonderful backdrop to our drinks reception. One of our youngest guests enjoyed the trio's performance of 'Baby Shark' just before the wedding breakfast which was so lovely to see.

Thank you to the string trio for creating such beautiful music for our day. We can't thank you enough.

Overwhelmingly beautiful

Where to start… Emily has been amazing from start to finish, communicating was prompt and easy. We booked Emily for ceremony and reception drinks; On the day, my now Husband was rather emotional when listening to Emily play whilst waiting for me to walk down the aisle, such a stunning choice in music had complimented our requests so well. During the reception drinks the sound of the violin was amazing, we had so many compliments from our guests as to how good the song choices were and how beautifully they were played. My only wish is that we could have stood and simply listened to you play, but in the wedding day business we simply didn’t get time. Overall just wanted to say a big thank you, you were honestly incredible, we are so grateful.
