Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.
How much time do you need to set up?
I will arrive 45-60 minutes prior to the event to set up and tune my harp.
Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?
Absolutely - I'll include all travel costs, including the transport of my harp, in the quotes.
Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?
If you are planning an outdoor event, be sure to have a backup plan in case of rain or snow as harps should not be played outside during winter. Additionally, please have a plan in place for shade or shelter to protect the harp from direct sunlight.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
I am happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to add your favourite songs for your special moments.
