What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Not to worry!
Just update me with the schedule as soon as you can.
I only book one event per day to ensure I am flexible with timings.
How much time do you need to set up?
20-30 minutes ideally
Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?
Absolutely - I've included all travel costs, including the transport of my harp, in the quotes
Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?
None at all - my instrument is played acoustically so I don't need any equipment, except for a chair.
If it is raining then I will need full cover or to perform indoors as my instrument is valuable and could be damaged.”
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely!
As part of my service I provide a full repetoire list which is tailored to your event.
Many of my clients enjoy keeping these as mementos of their special day.
I also offer recordings of the set for an additional fee.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely, I can learn up to 5 new pieces included in the service
