Ashleigh is always keen to take that song that you love and give it a unique twist that makes it individual for you. Her passion and dedication to music cannot be shaken and this becomes apparent as she plays. Choosing her to be a part of your special day will be a decision you will never regret!

A few words from Ashleigh…..

FOR YOUR CEREMONY ⛪️
Please take some time to look through my full repertoire of songs. I have included some helpful notes (songs that other people have chosen or songs I know work well). Please don’t be afraid to also choose songs for your ceremony that are not on this list. I am more than happy to learn something specific. However, there are some songs out there that are potentially too challenging or outside my style of playing but I will always do my best.
(Hymns can be made available on request)

FOR YOUR DRINKS RECEPTION 🥂
I never play the same set twice as I very much “read the room” and “match the vibe” – this is something I am very good at. I would ask that you allow me to choose the songs for this part of your day. Please be assured that I will play songs that your guests will enjoy.

I am so looking forward to performing at your wedding!
