"Eleonora's harp playing was such a delicate yet important addition to making the wedding ceremony special. One guest later commented that she had tears in her eyes right after Eleonora started to play the Pachelbel Cannon in D during the wedding ceremony, even before the bride was visible. Music reaches the heart! Eleonora's harp playing also made the cocktail hour in the gardens very magical. And her movement between the locations was seamless."
