- Jon, guest, Norwegian fjords cruise, June 2012

”Naomi - we thank you for a truly magical, amazing & perfect performance during our civil ceremony. Your show blew us and our guests away who are still talking about the way you played. We knew you would be a real highlight for us both but are so delighted you were such a huge hit with all our guests. Thanks again.”
- Simon & Christian, Sept 2011

“…She [Naomi] was utterly wonderful! Her beautiful and subtle violinist performance during our reception contrasted with her dramatically skilled show during our dinner dance in which she performed a broad range of high energy and well known music. Our family and friends of all ages were spellbound by Naomi’s music and within moments our dance floor was full and the atmosphere was phenomenal. It has to be said that having Naomi at our celebration was a real treat…she has real style! I have absolutely no hesitation in asking her to perform again at any other celebration I may be lucky enough to have.”
- Gayle Shalom, Manchester, UK, June 2011
