Jane Ford is a beautifully talented musician who has added an element of charm and reverie to the events she has played at for us. Jane is organised and professional, making the entertainment aspect of an event something I do not have to worry about. Every time Jane has performed at an event, be it the harp or the piano, her music has always been appreciated and she has been thanked personally by the end client. I am always happy to work with Jane and strongly recommend her to my clients for some enchanting musical addition to their event.
Julia Robins - Arts adviser to Heartlands Hospital:
We all enjoyed the performance in our hospital. Responses included ‘Good’, ‘Soothing’, Very enjoyable’, ‘Very talented’. We believe that music can make a real difference in peoples’ lives, and these events enable our staff to encounter an enriching experience during their busy working day. Thank you.
Brides:
A customer satisfaction survey of clients who employed Jane to play for their wedding ceremony or reception resulted in a 100% overall rating of ‘excellent’. Additional comments inlcuded:
Jane provided an excellent service from start to finish. She recommended songs for our ceremony so it was personal to us. The choice of Piano and Harp was a perfect mix to create a fairytale atmosphere to our special day.
"Jane did an excellent job at our wedding and provided us with memories to last forever.
"Her flexibility to adapt to any song choice is just amazing. The quality is first class, and I would recommend her for any future wedding. All our guests were taken aback by her whole performance.
"Jane provided an individualised service in addition to providing valuable advice. The service Jane provided was professional and in no way impersonal. Jane really contributed toward making our day very special.
"You certainly played a large part in making our perfect wedding day.
"I would definitely recommend Jane Ford to any future brides – or for any other occasion.
Headteacher, Broad Elm’s School, Sheffield:
This was a first class performance given on ‘red-nose’ day, so the audience was a little restless. Jane was lovely with the children and held their attention for 40 minutes with a range of music, which was totally suited to their needs. Her questions to the children were pitched at exactly the right level. They very much enjoyed her harp performance. Broad Elms is a special school for children with severe emotional and behavioural difficulties – a real challenge to any artist. Jane Ford’s visit was a total success.
