I have been playing the harp since 2004 when she saw a picture of one at school and thought it looked pretty! After studying at The Royal College of Music Junior Department with amazing teachers, I eventually chose to study the clarinet full time at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. On graduating and entering the world as a professional musician, I moved back to Rutland where I grew up. This is where I rediscovered my love for the harp and at my first wedding booking for a family friend, I discovered how much I love weddings. I feel so privileged to be booked for a wedding or any event. You put such faith and trust in my abilities, and it shows that you want to make your event unique. So many of your guests will never have seen a harp up close; I may be biased but it's pretty beautiful! I have been described as a "creative beast" by Michael Collins, world-renowned clarinettist, and always put my heart and soul into all my performances. I have been lucky enough to perform for audiences including The Vamps, Michael Parkinson, Her Grace The Duchess of Rutland and His Majesty King Charles III.

Harriet was absolutely fantastic! The communication leading up to the wedding was excellent and made us feel really at ease and confident about the big day. Harriet was professional throughout and played simply beautifully on the day. She played all of the songs we had requested and we had numerous comments about how lovely it was to have live music during our ceremony. The only negative is that as the bride I didn't get to listen to all the songs! I couldn't recommend Harriet enough, just perfect.

We felt so lucky to have Harriet at our wedding, she is so talented and played beautifully during the ceremony and drinks reception! All of our guests loved listening to her and gave so many compliments! Harriet was professional, organised and friendly throughout the whole planning process, and her regular emails checking in with us before the big day were so lovely and showed how much she cared about everything. Thank you Harriet for helping to make our day so special! x
