"To the 'Avenas', Just a note to thank you all for playing at our wedding on 7th July 2006. So many people have commented how much they enjoyed your music. We think you judged the repetoire perfectly. Thank you also for being flexible and playing longer at the church when Alison arrived 35 minutes late - she insists she was planning to be on time but her mum lost her shoes and te photographer took loads of photos as she arrived! Anyway, you were marvellous and Alison & I were delighted you were there and will recommend you always. Best wishes, Simon and Alison" Simon Finney
