Customer questions

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

I am willing to be flexible, so if you need to change the times please get in touch.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually aim to arrive at the venue an hour in advance to have enough time to set up and tune.

Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?

It all depends on the distance.

Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?

For outdoor performances, I would require a solid surface for the harp (e.g. pavement, platform, not directly on the grass) as well as a cover in case the weather conditions change, as the harp is a quite valuable instrument and could get damaged by the rain and direct sunlight.

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

Absolutely! You could choose any songs from my repertoire list as well as three extra pieces that are not included. I would be pleased to prepare arrangements of your favourite songs!

Lina was a true professional and a pleasure to have playing the harp on our wedding day. She made the day extra special by working with one of the bridesmaids to sing me down the aisle. Would highly recommend! Thanks again!

On behalf of myself and Amy Seton (owner of The Food & Drink Events Company), we just wanted to pass on our gratitude to Tsvetelina for her amazing harp performance at our Enchanted Evening event on Saturday. She played beautifully and took the time to talk to guests who approached. We've had some fantastic feedback from attendees to tell us that she was "calm and gentle" and "immensely talented". The music really made the evening, All the best, Vicky Osgood, Events & Marketing Manager" And thanks to Birmigham Conservatoire for the opportunity
