SO MUCH TO
Choose from…
DRINKS RECEPTION, DINNER,
AFTER DINNER COCKTAILS

HARP
VOICE

your special day…
Perhaps the most important element of any brides day will be the music… it sets the atmosphere for both ceremony and drinks reception and will remain a talking point well after the day has gone.
The concert harp is surely the most romantic of instruments and is the most obvious choice which many brides are now making, whether for civil or religious ceremony or for the champagne reception afterwards at the hotel or as your guests enjoy dinner.
Harpist Les Magee offers a comprehensive service encompassing all styles of music from classical to jazz and folk, and recent pops such as Adele, Snow Patrol, Cold Play and even Metallica!

As a very versatile musician Les can also offer a service of wedding PIANIST, wedding ORGANIST and wedding VOCALIST if required.

I guess we’ve stopped counting days until we can perform again. It’s been a tough time and a time in which to remain focussed otherwise hope could be gone.
I’m scrolling my wedding photos this am. I have played in some of the best venues in Ireland and here I am pictured in one of them. Here’s the marquee at @drenaghweddings, where there’s unending romance from the start of your day to the very next morning at the huge dining table for breakfast.
Hoping I can perform again soon.

Only their stiffened boughs break silence, weeping

Yesterday’s walk in Ballymoney where we met lots of people we know! That’s the thing about NI. We all know each other. Want to see who was there? Click on my story 💥🎉
I took a wee minute to sit on this log. Cannot believe spring and summer are gone but there’s always something about autumn and the falling leaves too 🍁

Continuing on the Christmas wedding theme, there’s no better time for wedding decor and perhaps one of the most splendid sights is the Christmas decor at #drenagh. There’s a trail of magic dust sprinkled from room to room by the creatives at @theweddingroomni. Regardless of how many times you see it....

For all you December brides here’s a feast for the eyes. Some of my fav snaps from @theivorypavilion. We realise that 2020 will see more Christmas weddings than usual due to postponements from earlier in the year 🎄
It’s also our fav month for weddings as the music is ❤️💥

Breast Cancer Awareness month and I’d usually be at @johnlewisandpartners #peterjones Sloane Square with some fundraising and an amazing day for @breastcancerhaven. It’s become part of my diary. So I’m really missing everyone but hopefully we can continue next year and at the next event for this amazing charity 💓💖 Swipe to see these amazing guys 🙏🏻

So what could I play whilst sitting in this hall with a beautiful fire on a lovely autumn day? Here’s Ed Sheeran’s perfect. As wedding suppliers and venues prepare yet another lockdown and income loss let’s remember how resilient we are here in NI. We’ve weathered all sorts of storms before and it’s time to call on our extra reserve once more. We look forward to performing again at our postponed events.
This is @magheramorne_estate. A house that has stood many a storm. A house that welcomes not only brides, but guests for afternoon tea and special menu tasting. We look forward to joining you for one, or each of those days. ❤️🎉

💖No filter on this! This scene has been the epicentre of so many moments of happiness over the last few years. Brides/ grooms enter by the stairs, wedding cakes cut, hip hip hoorays, even some people will say “I do” at the bottom of those stairs. But here sits the vintage @steinwayandsons piano. He’s clocked up a good few miles. And if he could speak.....we would surely love to hear his stories.
Contact @drenaghweddings for details on the many beautiful options.
I’m always happy to play the piano at Drenagh house. There’s always that old magic going on 🎶🎶🎉

The bride and her maids. Let’s hope this weeks announcement from @niassembly is not going to rock the wedding boat further.🙏🏻
We loved this little wedding ceremony and no one knows the stress that this girl had in the run up because of date and venue changes due to new social distancing measures. What a great day of love and marriage ❤️💓💒

It’s breast cancer awareness month at @actioncancer Coleraine Shop. I’m happy to highlight this great charity and their sustainable fashion, especially during this month!
At the moment the shop are looking for new donations of winter clothing, handbags and shoes, especially plus size!
Here I’m wearing one of their jackets.
Call the shop to donate fashion or for details of this lovely little classic jacket! 💓
For my belfast followers, follow @ac_prelovedcollection found on Lisburn Rd. what a great way to support cancer charity!

Church Wedding? Here’s a little smidgeon of what you can have from me in church. 💒
Traditional organ with hymns or maybe piano for more contemporary worship? Harp sets the brides arrival and you can also have a solo during the ceremony too.
The grand exit is always good on the organ with some of the traditional classic wedding marches! 💞
Have a watch through. Still taking bookings for the year end and of course 2021/2022

Many of you have seen this professional video of mine before but today it has a message.
The frustration lies in the fact that weddings have made a return but live music restrictions will keep us from working. We’ve been silent for around six months and now the frustration lies in the fact that we are restricted again. With little income and no furlough for self employed how do we survive?
This is a plea for understanding of performance and how it could possibly go ahead with safety measures, rather than cut out completely

❤️Give me a piano and some sequins and the evening is made ✨
I’ve got incredible mileage out of this wee frock with matching shoes and a belt thrown together by my self!
Here is the beautiful ballroom at @magheramorne_estate, complete with its #samick grand. What an amazing room with a view! 🍁
Great background music should never intrude the conversation. Hopefully soon, I’ll get to play once again.

🤓Today I’m actually in this chair. And relaxing. A Sunday in autumn and we usually go walking but it’s lashing at the mo. So here’s where I’ll be for the foreseeable Sunday afternoon!
Red is the colour of passion but it’s also the colour of coziness and there’s something welcoming about this room as the evenings draw in.
How are you spending your afternoon?

🎶At last a recording that doesn’t have Mummy in the corner trying to make us laugh in the middle. Naughty. ☺️😁
So at lockdown my sis bought herself a whole plethora of Irish whistles!
Here’s the result! A wee Irish folk tune.
Hope you all enjoy this!

Mad World seems somewhat appropriate for these days we live in 😱
Privileged to perform in the arrival hall of @magheramorne_estate. And with sunshine beaming down on the beautiful gardens and lakes too.
There’s a lovely peaceful vibe amongst the staff and a beautiful suite of function rooms as well as gorgeous bedrooms with amazing Lough views too.
Highly recommended 🎉
