About
I am experienced wedding musician and have performed throughout the country at some of the UK's most spectacular venues. If you are looking to set an elegant ambience, then the harp is the perfect instrument to elevate your special day.
Whilst I am classically trained, and have a wealth of repertoire that will suit traditional tastes, I regularly receive compliments for my contemporary repertoire. My song list is entirely devised from arrangements that I have created by listening to a song and then transcribing the sheet music by ear. I take a lot of care and consideration when learning new songs, and I pride myself in creating arrangements that both captures the character of the song and also sounds idiomatic on the harp.
The majority of the songs in my repertoire are timeless staples that will be forever popular. However, I realise that for many couples, the songs that are most significant are often undiscovered gems. With this in mind, I take requests to learn new songs to ensure that every wedding is as personal as possible.
I understand that planning a wedding can be a busy time, but I aim to make the booking process as simple as possible. When sending an enquiry, please include the date of your wedding, the address of your venue, and approximate timings (if possible). If you have any special requests please include them in your enquiry. Once I receive this information I will then be able to provide a quote for your special day.

I trained at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester gaining a Masters and First Class Honours Bacherlors degree. I now freelance around the North West performing at weddings, in orchestras, solo and chamber concerts as well as teaching and outreach sessions in schools and care homes.
Performing at weddings is one of my favourite things to do- I love the satisfaction of helping perform a small part in making couples' wedding day special.
