✨ Electro-acoustic harp bops for fun filled celebrations ✨ Live looping & modern covers.

Verified profile

Hey! I’m Scarlett, an Electro-Acoustic Harpist specialising in covers of all the modern songs you know and love. My broad repertoire covers Pop, Rock, Dance/Electronic, Hip Hop, TV/Films/Musicals, Disney, Video Games and everything in between. I aspire to make music that’s not only beautiful and calming, but can also be fun, upbeat and punchy. I don’t remember the last wedding I played where guests weren’t playing ‘guess that song’ and remarking ‘I can’t believe she’s playing that on the HARP!’ throughout the day. As well as being able to play acoustically or with light amplification, for more of a party atmosphere (think wedding drinks reception or evening do) I’ll mix the harp with beats, fx pedals or my loop pedal to add more musical layers. Take a look at my videos page to see! Having performed professionally since the age of 14, I now have over 12 years of happy clients and hundreds of weddings under my belt. Although generally speaking weddings are my main focus, I’ve also had the pleasure of performing at numerous corporate events, private parties, art galleries, care homes, ships, interactive theatre shows, circus shows, spooky halloween events, anniversaries, on top of the flying trapeze rig at Glastonbury festival, and I even organised a community tour of over 100 streets in Bristol during the Covid-19 lockdown. I am flexible and adaptable and I work hard because I genuinely care. No matter what event your organising, I would to hear from you and discuss how my music could be involved. Much love, Scarlett (She/Her)

Scarlett played at my son's wedding at Arnos Vale - her playing was beautiful and she went to the trouble of looking the part too! Her music really made the ceremony extra special. A lovely, talent young woman who was a real pleasure to have with us on this wonderful special day. Thank you.

What an absolute pleasure it was to have Scarlett play at our wedding celebration. We loved the vibe, it was exactly what we were looking for. I’m just sad it’s over! Thank you so much Scarlett, you are extremely talented and I hope your talents take you far. Valentina and Mikey

Scarlett was really communicative and was very flexible. We had lots of comments about how good she was and the QR request system means she can cater to any audience.

We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for yesterday. You were amazing! I lost count of the number of people who came up to me to say how great you were. Our niece/flower girl was particularly taken with you. Thank you so much for playing two Disney songs for her - it was incredibly kind and she is still talking about it today. She recreated the wedding with her dollies and even had you in it playing the harp. You definitely made a lasting impression. Thank you so much for making our special day that extra bit special. I would not hesitate to recommend you - you are brilliant!

Scarlett was a lovely addition to our unique wedding on the S.S.Great Britain. She did a brilliant job setting the mood during our ceremony. Everyone loved her unique style of mixing modern and classic songs on her harp. She did such a brilliant job playing our requested Zelda music walking down the aisle and even played our much loved star wars tune to play us out to everyone's enjoyment! Guests still mention how much they loved Scarletts playing long after the wedding. Scarlett really helped make our day extra special. We could not recommend her enough as an edition to any wedding or special event.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Not to worry! I generally quote by service as oppose to exact timings (aka Wedding Ceremony Package or Drinks Reception Package). I also rarely book more than one event in a day so can generally be very flexible with timings.

How much time do you need to set up?

I generally arrive at venues 60-90 minutes before I'm due to start so I have plenty of time to get set up and do a soundcheck. If you think you'll have limited time in the space before the event and need me to do a speedy set up just pop me a message and we can brainstorm!

Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?

Yes, all costs/expenses will be included in your initial quote.

Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?

I love playing outdoors when the weather allows! However there are a few things we'll need to plan together to ensure the harp is safe: 1. We need a flat solid surface (to stop the harp tipping over). 2. We need to plan for some form of shade/shelter from the elements. 3. For live looping covers I need access to power.

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

Absolutely! I work with each client individually to create a personalised setlist from my repertoire. If there's something new and special you'd like me to learn that isn't on my repertoire you can add on a custom song arrangement and I'll also send you a sample video before the day!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely! Each of my packages includes one new song arrangement and sample video, but if there are additional new songs you'd like you can do this with an add on :-)
