Testimonials
"Performed perfectly in the Pagoda in the centre of the walled garden at our wedding drinks reception this June...it was magical, it looked and sounded incredible, she is such a talented harpist. Not only was this a highlight of our day and set the perfect atmosphere, but we can now cherish the memory on our wedding video forever, as she also recorded the harp interpretation of our first dance song for the backing track of our video. Can’t recommend her enough!!"
"Booked to play the harp at my daughter's wedding. She has a very extensive playlist to select songs from. She is really friendly, helpful and a very talented musician. Listening to her playing the harp during the wedding ceremony made it an extra special occasion. It was also a truly beautiful sight as guests entered the ceremony room. I have no hesitation in recommending, every aspect of the process from initial enquiry through to delivery was excellent."
