| Wedding | "We wanted to write and thank you for the fabulous music you played at our wedding. It was wonderful to be able to listen to the harp while we signed the register - very magical and many thank you letters we have received say how beautifully you played in the marquee. The children were spellbound. Thank you for helping to make the day extra special for us." |
| Wedding | "Jemima recently played at our son's wedding and many of the guests commented on how beautifully she played. She arranged her own music and it was most appropriate and provided an excellent backdrop to the wedding reception. We would thoroughly recommend her services to anyone who wanted a charming harpist at their function." |
| Cheltenham International Festival | "You could have sold out Thurlston Long Gallery twice I reckon, and in addition to a fantastic performance I would like to thank you for your part in the post-concert discussion - everything I wished it to be and enlightening for the audience." |
