Nia-May's Reviews

5 out of 5

Nia-May is an extremely talented musician and played both the viola and the harp for our September 2026 wedding. The music was exquisitely rendered and she also accommodated some pop music requests which she played beautifully. We would recommend her highly for wedding playlists and her physical presentation was immaculate as well given that she was on show playing next to the bride and groom. I would highly recommend her for any event outdoor or indoor as she is extremely capable.

Nia-May was excellent on both the Harp and Violin. She arrived before time set up and got on with entertaining my guests in my absence. She used initiative. The music played was beautiful and even during dinner she serenaded us all with musical talents.. Thank you Nia May will definitely look to book you again

It is difficult to find words that sum up how amazing Nia-May was. She was absolutely brilliant - a wonderful professional and without doubt the best addition to my birthday party. She arrived early (giving her plenty of time to set-up) she played a very varied playlist as agreed, and I have had many people comment on how amazing she was. Nia-May, thank you, thank, thank you for making my night so memorable and so very special! With my very best wishes and heartfelt thanks Heath

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients enjoy and appreciate my versatility when it comes to performances. As I am able to seamlessly switch from the violin, to harp and piano (with no added cost) it provides a unique atmosphere to any event.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Venues I have performed at include the: Royal Albert Hall Lyceum Theatre Hylands Estate The Place Theatre

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As I listen to a wide range of music, I am influenced by a variety of composers. This includes classical composers such as Beethoven and Mozart to current artists such as SZA and Laufey.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Currently, I would say my performances on the stage at the Lyceum Theatre for various royal guests and celebrities are among my most high profile gigs.

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 usually set up about 30 minutes before the performance time. If the harp is requested set up time is slightly longer.

Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?

Yes, in the final quote, all costs are included if the harp is requested.

Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?

“None as my instrument can be played acoustically so I don't need any equipment. If it is raining then I will need full cover or to perform indoors as my instrument is valuable and could be damaged. Additionally, for the harp flat concrete surfaces are required.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I'm more than happy to curate a set list for your event based on your genre preferences.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Please let me know at least 3 weeks in advance of your event of any songs requested (that are not on my set list) as there is an additional fee take into account rehearsal times and the cost of the music.
