Weddings

I know I know I'm probably biased, but I do think electro-acoustic harp creates the perfect wedding soundtrack. Not only because of it's innate etherial tones perfect for a floaty emotive Ceremony, but also the versatility of being able to mix that sound with beats, fx pedals and looping to really 'wow' guests during the reception.

I'm a big advocate for you choosing a wedding songlist that is unapologetically you. Want a Disney filled drinks reception? Love it. Want to walk in to the Jurassic Park Theme? What a vibe. Want me to play the Mii Channel Theme while you sign the register? HERE FOR IT.

For every wedding I play you have the option to tailor make your own setlist. However please do have a read through my Repertoire and watch some of my videos before booking to ensure there's enough there you already love. I offer various Bespoke Packages that include 2 new song arrangements and sample videos, but I put a lot of love and time into each new cover I make, meaning there's only so many I can take on each month.

During your drinks reception you can also include 'guest requests' in your setlist. For this I bring along a little QR code sign your guests can scan and then request one of my top 100 songs for me to play in real time. I'll also always offer any smaller (or bigger) guests a quick go playing a glissando on the harp if they're keen!

Equality and Inclusivity are very close to my heart as a queer owned business. Please know that no matter who you're marrying, how you identify or what your journey has been your love is safe with me. I know in an ideal world this isn't something you'd need to question, but I never want you to have to guess here. Equally, if you see anything you think I could do better in these areas please drop me a message! I'm always keen to grow.

I'm currently booking events in 2023 & 2024 and my packages start from £500.

FAQs

Can You Play Outdoors?

Generally yes! I try and avoid it during winter, but if it's warm enough for elderly relatives to be happy outdoors I can probably be outside too. I have two amps, the better one is mains powered (as is the looper and fx tech I need for electroacoustic covers) so if I can be near a power socket this is very helpful. I also bring a 12m extension cable to all gigs. If there's no power available (aka for a woodland ceremony) I can bring my smaller battery operated amp but won't be able to do any live looping. For my big pedal harp I need to be set up on flat solid ground (flat grass is fine, but no squishy mud and ideally not gravel/cobbles). It’s good to discuss with the venue in advance potential options of shade/shelter, as on hot days or if there's any chance of rain I need to make sure the harp is protected.

What do you need provided?

With everything set up I need 1.8m x 1.5m space on flat solid ground. I'll also need access to power and some form of shade/shelter if performing outdoors. Also ideally somewhere to park (or at least unload) my car as close to where you’d like me to play as possible.

Can you move during the day?

Absolutely, it takes me 10-15 minutes to move everything and set up in a new spot, but at almost every wedding I'll move location between the Ceremony, Drinks Reception and/or wedding breakfast.

How does payment work?

I take a £100 deposit to secure the booking with the final sum due two weeks before your wedding date. Payments can be made via debit or credit card.

Can we confirm times later?

Absolutely, once you’ve paid your deposit you’re officially booked in. I like to have a rough idea if possible, but if you’re not certain right now or think you might want to add additional reception time later I’ll make a note and then just let you know if I get any other enquiries for later in the same day.

How far do you travel?

I can travel however far you'd like me to! The further you are from Bristol the more travel fee I have to charge to cover my additional time/petrol expenses (or occasionally accommodation). But I have previously travelled down the Cornwall or up to Sheffield or the Lake District for weddings! There are very very few harpist offering my style of live looping / electroacoustic modern covers in the UK, so if it brings you as much joy as it does for me I'll travel to wherever you're celebrating!
