Latest reviews of our Wedding Harpists in Scotland
"As Arts Coordinator at Carlisle Youth Zone I booked Sarah as part of a project to introduce young people to different types of music. She played the harp beautifully and engaged with the children really well. She was adaptable and friendly. Understanding the needs of the audience she turned the session into a ‘have a go’ experience which was brilliant. She was very generous with her time, staying longer than her booking to allow all the children to take part. I’m impressed and would be delighted to book her again."

"Sam agreed to play at our wedding at relatively short notice after my initial booking with another harpist fell through. I am so relieved that it did, because not only did Sam provide a first-class performance on the day (we never doubted that part for a second!) but she was regularly in touch with me prior to the ceremony so she could understand our wishes exactly. I was immediately impressed by Sam's catholic repertoire, from classical music to video game soundtracks. So excellent a harpist is Sam that my wife and I deliberately took our time signing the register, so we could appreciate the back-up song we'd asked Sam to play too! If you are in any doubt about who to choose for your special day, look no further than Sam. Sam, thank you so much for everything, and apologies for taking so long to get round to this review - long honeymoon! All the best, Sean & Laura"
