I’m a professional wedding harpist based in Lincolnshire, travelling nationwide to create unforgettable musical moments. I love bringing a modern twist to the harp, with a repertoire that spans everything from beautiful pop songs and romantic classics to unexpected covers of Metallica and Disney favourites. Whether you’re looking for something elegant, fun, or completely unique, I tailor every performance to reflect your style and make your day truly special.

We wanted to thank Thea for making our day perfect for us. Everyone complimented the music and said how beautiful it was, and emotional it made the ceremony. Ave Maria was so moving as it was played at my parents and my grandparents wedding, and I have found out, at my great grand parents wedding too! We cant thank you enough.

Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played at my daughters wedding. All the guests commented on how the music perfectly suited the day."
