Stefiana's performance at our wedding was nothing short of magical. Her exquisite harp playing added an ethereal touch to the entire event, creating an atmosphere of elegance and enchantment. From the moment she began, her talent and passion were evident, captivating our guests and making our special day even more memorable. Stefiana's professionalism and warmth were also remarkable, as she seamlessly blended into the event, adding to its charm.

Stefania was an absolute joy!

From the minute we booked with Stefania she was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was easy to reach and chat too in the build up and answered all my questions and helped me make plans. A huge huge huge thank you from us. You are so talented and such a lovely person and we absolutely loved having you as such a special part of our big day. We had soooooo many comments about how wonderful you were and I absolutely loved walking down the aisle listening to you. Wouldn’t hesitate in reaching out for all other events :).

Beautiful songs for our wedding!

Stefania was absolutely perfect. Communicative throughout and checked in with us throughout to build a musical playlist of our wedding that suited me and my husband so much. When I walked down the aisle to her playing ‘one step by hans zimmer’ there was barely a dry eye in the house. She did so well, and everyone loved her songs. My only regret is that I didn’t get chance to listen to her whole set as I was so busy doing bride photos and things!! Absolutely incredible - and bespoke throughout ❤️❤️

Amazing harpist!

Stefania created a wonderful atmosphere for our ceremony! It really lifted things. The entrance music was perfect and our only regret is we didn’t get to hear her play more! Stefania played three bespoke pieces as well as come beautiful classical pieces and a Beatles medley. She was responsive throughout and met us over Zoom to discuss our requirements in detail. Highly recommend!

An absolute joy

We met Stefania while she was playing her harp at the Asylum Chapel. While we ended up at another venue for our wedding, we kept in touch and decided to have her for the welcome before the ceremony and time before seated dinner. She was responsive, maintains a deep repertoire of classical but also contemporary music which our guests really enjoyed recognizing as the day progressed. She also made sure to meet beforehand to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted and she delivered.

Perfection

Stefania was an absolute dream from start to finish, and I could not have imagined our day without her. She was able to cater for our electric tastes in music perfectly for our day and nothing was ever too much trouble. She is an incredible musician and a beautiful soul inside and out. I hope we get to use her again some day and I cannot recommend her enough

Lovely music

We booked Stefania for the drinks reception of our wedding. Stefania was a delight to deal with before the day and accommodated/ learnt special requests. She checked the positioning beforehand and arrived in good time. The music sounded beautiful and our guests really enjoyed the arrangements - we got lots of great comments about it!
