The London Wedding Harpist - Harpist Feedback

“She was absolutely fantastic. She arrived on time, was extremely professional and her performance was beautiful ”

Asma Khokhar, Hilton Hotel Croydon, Wedding (October 2021)

“Very good :) ”

Vijay Singh Bedesha, , none (February 2019)

“Great! ”

Lucy Hudson, , none (June 2018)

“We were so pleased with the harpist's performance at our wedding. She was well-dressed, punctual and had a large and varied repertoire. We received so many positive comments from our guests! The atmosphere of the wedding was largely owing to her wonderful performance. My only regret is that I was so caught up with everything else that I neglected to personally thank her! I hope you will pass along my thanks. I would certainly recommend your agency and the harpist to brides-to-be. ”

Alana Stelton, , none (August, 2012)

“We were extremely pleased with the harpist's performance on our wedding day. The atmosphere when I walked down the aisle to the Flower Duet in the Barbican conservatory was magical and serene. She arrived promptly and was dressed smartly for the occasion. She was very polite and respectful in the ceremony and reception and many people commented on how beautiful the music was. I really appreciated her playing the requested pieces from her repertoire throughout the day, in particular, Claire De Lune for the signing was just wonderful. The booking process was very simple and I liked being able to see and hear the performer and their repertoire on the website when choosing. Thank you very much for providing a lovely musician for our special day. ”

Mr and Mrs Morrell, , none (May, 2013)

“The whole experience was absolutely brilliant. The booking was very easy. The performer was excellent, calm, professional, and very friendly. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so very much for all your help, it was a huge success ”
