Hi Cornel, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing beautifully for us yesterday. You're a star!
Mrs and Mr. Mulvey, Wedding at Highcliffe Castle
We were recently lucky enough to have Cornel play at our wedding and cannot recommend him highly enough. The music played was exquisite and everyone has commented on how wonderful it was. We were able to mix some classical pieces with instrumental versions of more modern songs that have special meaning to us. Cornel was set up and ready to go when our guests arrived and was very discrete in packing away. I cannot describe how amazing the music was and how much it added to our special day. We are very grateful to Cornel for providing such an exceptional service. I cannot describe how amazing the music was and how much it added to our special day.
