Elle provided a safe and comfortable environment for my children, which was really important with a newborn and 6 year old. And the service was brilliant. My eldest really enjoyed making the casts and we were thrilled to see the end product in a frame. I’d definitely recommend! Thank you Elle!

Elle was so welcoming and friendly. She made sure it was a nice and calm environment, perfect for our little 6 week old. We now have a beautiful frame to remember our little one’s hands and feet!

Brilliant experience! Elle made beautiful casts of my daughter’s hands and feet which we will treasure forever. The whole process of dealing with Elle was super smooth and she is very prompt and responsive. She’s genuinely lovely to deal with. She made the experience for my daughter very calming and relaxing despite all her wriggling!

Thank you so much for your review and such kind words! Ahhhh, the wrigglers are intrigued by the process, it’s all part of the fun! I’m glad you are pleased with your finish casts & thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish. I cannot fault the wonderful company or Elle, who was incredibly welcoming and patient whilst doing foot casts for my two children. The finial product is simply beautiful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone!

Thank you so much Elle for being so welcoming, we felt comfortable bringing our 4 week old baby boy which can sometimes be daunting aspect for first time parents. You have perfectly captured precious memories for us which we will keep close to our hearts forever, we are blown away with your creation.

Elle made us the most beautiful hand and feet casts for our baby girl - her handiwork is amazing and the attention to detail superb. She was incredibly warm and professional, we felt in safe hands with our newborn. We look forward to returning as a family in the future!

Krupa, your casts of your newborn daughter were a total joy to make for you. I'm really glad you felt safe and relaxed during your session. Those first outings with your newborn can be so daunting, I understand that. I am so looking forward to seeing you again sometime in the future with your family. Thank you for such a lovely review.
Elle created an absolutely beautiful memory of my babies. Not only did she create such amazing casts of my kids she was also just so lovely to meet. She interacted so well with my son and made sure we were as comfortable as can be bringing our newborn. We couldn't be happier with our casts.

Thank you Sarita, SO glad you enjoyed your session and are so happy with your casts. It was such a fun sibling session together, thank you for choosing us to make your treasures for you.
Everything about this experience with Elle was perfection from start to finish. Great communication, lovely calm and quiet environment, quick turnaround and the finished casts are just beautiful. Elle even brought them out to my car in the rain when little one was having a meltdown! Can’t recommend enough - something to be treasured forever.

Hannah, thank you ever so much! I am so thrilled you love your casts and enjoyed the session experience too. Your little one was an absolute treasure. Thank you for such a lovely review, it was so lovely to meet you.
Got family casts done sometime back. Elle made us all feel comfortable and did not rush a bit. Excellent communication throughout. Went out of her way and sent us sturdy wall mounts! Brilliant person and brilliant experience.A keepsake to cherish forever

Thank you so much Nidhi! We had such a great session making your family casts, they were a joy to make for you. So pleased you enjoyed the experience and that your family casts will be cherished.
We've had two wonderful experiences with Elle. When both our children were born Elle was one of the first people we saw in person. Out of those visits we received beautiful casts of our children's hands and feet which we will treasure forever. They made the most wonderful gifts for family, too. The care she puts into the casts is worth 5 stars alone, but she goes above and beyond. We received photos and videos of the process and the sessions definitely double as a little bit of post-natal therapy. You get a real feeling that Elle not only cares about the finished product but also about you and your experience.

Thank you ever so much Amy for your lovely review. I am so touched that you felt so nurtured in your session and that your experience was a precious moment. Thank you for choosing Halcyon Casts to make your treasured keepsakes of both of your gorgeous children.
I would like to say only this....
Elle was absolutely amazing. She was so patient with us. We had a lot of hiccups along the way, she was always supportive. The communication was also excellent. Her work, was impeccable. My daughters casts were perfect. Even better than what we wanted/expected. I will always recommend Elle for my friends & if in the future, we will have another little one, then we will always come back to Elle x

Thank you Nur for such lovely feedback. We totally understand what it’s like as a new parent and all that comes with it. We were more than happy to adjust the session for when you needed it. The session we had together was so lovely and working on your daughters casts an absolute delight. So glad you love them too! It would be a total treat to see you again in the future!
If you want THE most beautiful keep sakes of your baby's hands and feet and live in the South Bucks area, Halcyon Casts is the place you want to go to! Not only is Elle wonderful (a warm, welcoming Mum who's built a beautiful business on creating gorgeous memories), but the casts are amazing... as was the experience! Elle walked us through what she was doing and how the process worked when we were there, whilst also being super empathetic and helpful with my ten week old. The plaster casts are incredible, and everything from the box frame, typography and packaging was faultless. Our little hand and foot now take centre stage on our sideboard! Don't Google anyone else, hit the contact button on Elle's site now!

I’m over the moon that you have enjoyed your Halcyon Casts experience so much and thank you so much for sharing your review.

Elle made us feel very at ease and did an expert job in getting Maddie to sit still enough to create the most beautiful casts!
We absolutely love them and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone!

Thank you Liah! I would love to see you and your gorgeous family again! So thrilled you love your casts as much as I loved making them for you. Thank you for your kind review.
Our experience with Elle was just magical. From the minute we arrived she made my little ones feel calm and helped them to enjoy the experience with toys for them to play with and lovely little chats to keep them smiling. I had wanted to do this when my little boy was tiny but we were unable to due to COVID. Fast forward 3 years and I thought the moment had passed, but we went for a sibling cast and it was just perfect. These casts really are so special for any age…I’m so glad that their tiny little features have been captured forever.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review of your session and casts. I'm glad we were able to capture a moment in time for you to treasure and you are SO right, these casts are perfectly wonderful for any age. It's never too late. So lovely to meet you!
Elle was a dream from start to finish.
I booked in a sibling casting session with her, and as per usual, myself and my three kids were running a little bit late. This was not a problem for Elle, she welcomed us all with open arms, age- appropriate toys, tea, and even... cake! We all had such a wonderful experience doing the casting, and now sitting on my shelf I have this beautiful, framed memory of my children's little hands. A memory I will have forever.
Thank you Elle, for making the session so lovely, and thank you for making something so beautiful that I will cherish forever.
Highly recommended

Hi Sam, thanks so much for your lovely review! I loved your sibling session, we had such fun and so much chatter, as well as making those fabulous moulds. A total joy! So thrilled you love your finished framed casts. Thank you for choosing Halcyon Casts to make your cherished treasures for you.
I was lucky enough to be gifted our hand casting experience by a friend when my son was born. The whole experience from start to finish was fab! Elle is such a lovely person and really made us feel comfortable. It was one of the first outings I had done with my newborn so I was a bit nervous but Elle was so welcoming and professional, even super understanding when we were running late. The hand and foot cast is such a beautiful memory of when our son was first born. Thank you so much Elle! Highly recommend!!

Thank you Katrina for such a glowing review! I love that you enjoyed the entire process and especially the session experience. I understand how daunting those first few outings with your newborn can feel and I’m so glad I made you feel relaxed. I am so pleased you love your finished casts, I loved making them for you.
Elle is truly the most lovely, genuine person who clearly loves what she does. We travelled quite far to see her because it is clear her work is so so so special and one of a kind pieces you can keep and treasure forever. She makes you feel at ease the moment you step in the door and has a magic way with babies. Don’t hesitate, book in with Elle, you won’t regret it. Would recommend her a thousand times over.

Thank you SO much! Thank you for travelling such a distance to visit for your session, for choosing us to make your casts and for your amazing review. I am so touched by your words. Thank you.
We went to get our 1 month daughter’s feet casted at Mamas and Papas Stratford with Elle. She was so warm, friendly and great with our daughter - Sienna. She talked us through the whole process and it was lovely to see her work. The final foot casts were beautifully made and mounted. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and would use her service again in the future.
