Harpist

Ottawa

I am an Irish-born harpist based in Ottawa, with many years of experience playing for weddings and events. I love working with my clients to create their dream playlist for their ceremony! I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, where I had an instrumental performance scholarship. I play Irish, pop, classic and contemporary music, and enjoy staying adaptable so that my clients can feel represented by their ceremony music - I have learned requests ranging from Taylor Swift to Metallica! FAQ + pricing Ceremony only ($495) includes: one special request song not on my repertoire list; 20 minutes of background music as your guests arrive; music for your processional, register signing, and exit. Two 10-15 minute consultation calls (one inital, one to finalize details) also included. Ceremony & Cocktail Hour ($675) - as above, plus music for one hour at your reception or cocktail hour. Travel within 35km of Ottawa included, travel fees apply thereafter. I can travel up to 1.5hrs from Ottawa. Sorry, Montreal is outside my travel zone.
