"Tori,
Just a quick note to say once again thanks for a fantastic addition to our wedding at Weston Manor on 16 Aug 08. Your music was sublime and fitting both the occasion and setting with aplomb. All our guests are still commenting on your music and good humour, especially the guys in uniform! I especially liked your constant smile (or giggles) while I was waiting for Jules!
As a brief restbite before the formal photos are out, of which Rob Wheal has done some amazing shots of you, I have attached the shots Dave the Best Man etc took of you should you need a memory of the day. I have included a couple of the 'removal men' for you, foolishly used during the end of the afternoon.
Regards,
Nick and Jules" - Weston Manor - 2008 R.A.F. Wedding!
"Hi Tori,
Having just returned from honeymoon, (which was fabulous!) Matt & I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful music you played on our wedding day - it was so beautiful and so many of our guests have commented on how great you were and the range of music you played was perfect, thank you. And your performance of our song You Do Something To Me was truly amazing, we both remember listening to it as we signed the register - we made a conscious effort to do so, so we didn't miss out on it and we loved it - we were blown away by how great it was and so were our guests, it was definitely worth it - it really added to how special the day was for us, thank you so much for arranging it so perfectly for us.
Thank you again, we are so pleased we chose you to play at our wedding and we wish you every success for the future.
Best wishes,
Emma & Matt Anderson" - Balliol College - Oxford. 2008
"Tori Handsley was absolutely fantastic and several guests commented on how lovely it was to hear modern indie tracks being played on the harp. She managed to balance our musical tastes with the ambience, and did so beautifully. She was also dressed in perfect keeping with the day which was great. She was friendly and approachable and even offered to play on through dinner when the outdoor reception ended before her allotted 2 hours.
We couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Thanks and Best Regards"

"Just wanted you to know that Tori was amazing. She played brilliantly - a whole range of music including some great modern songs which everyone loved.
She was so accommodating and to be honest was the best entertainment of the night. It was a last minute idea to have a harpist and we thoroughly enjoyed her performance. Please pass on our thanks.
Kindest regards,"

"In addition to providing music for the ceremony, reception and dinner, Tori also mingles with the guests to integrate with them during the course of the day, to find out what they are enjoying, and add to the entertainment. Tori mixes the traditional classics with more contemporary music which seems to meet with everyone's tastes. Tori is definitely a welcome addition and enhances any event".....

"Thank you so much for playing the harp at our Wedding. I am so glad you became available as my mum and I had heard so many wonderful things about you and your music from others. I wished I could have had the opportunity to hear you play more. Our guests commented on how beautifully you play the harp.
Thanks again for being a part of our special day."

"Tori,
Mark and I have returned from our honeymoon and wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding on the 13th June 2009. The choice of music was superb and prompted many favourable comments from our guests. My only regret is that I did not get to hear many of the pieces that you played due to arriving last minute at the ceremony room, and then disappearing for the photographs.
Thank you once again."
