Verified profile

Louise is a highly professional yet friendly and approachable musician. She is a recommended supplier for Stubton Hall, Norwood Park, The Old Vicarage Boutique Wedding Venue, Hazel Gap Barn, Grangefields & Carr Bank Wedding Venue. As a wedding harpist I am often a close part of the ceremony, and often form a unique relationship with the bride and groom through discussion of musical tastes and ideas. I also love to play the piano and this is my first study instrument.

Louise's Reviews

5 out of 5

Louise is an amazing harpist, she has an extensive repertoire and played all our favorite songs. She seamlessly came into the venue setup before the wedding breakfast without any help and really added to the magic of the day. If you want to make your wedding day extra special I would recommend booking Louise.

Louise was a huge part of my daughters wedding , Louise is an excellent , talented harpist who made the day extra special I would recommend Louise to complete any wedding Thanks Louise you were a star

I would highly recommend booking Louise for any event. She is extremely talented and I’m so pleased I found her and booked her to play at our wedding. She was very friendly, patient and helpful in our pre wedding meeting when we were choosing our music. All communication was prompt and informative, which really helped and made the booking process easy. Our guests were very impressed and enjoyed her music greatly like us. Would definitely love to hear her play again. Thank you Louise for making our day special xx

Thank you so much Louise for playing so beautifully at our wedding. The music was just gorgeous and we had so many lovely compliments from our guests too. It was classy and elegant and really was the finishing touch to the ceremony. We would (and have!) absolutely recommend Louise!
