December 5, 2025Aedan provided such beautiful music for our party! It was wonderful. She was easy going, and lovely to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Plus even our guests commented on how she drapes a beautiful cloth over her music stand to make her appearance beautiful as well!

May 31, 2025Aedan played music for an event in our backyard and was absolutely perfect. She arrived early to set up and was incredibly accommodating. She even put up with my toddler wanting to touch her harp (thank you for your patience!) her music selection was lovely and she provided some much needed peace for the afternoon. I would definitely recommend her for your next event!

The harp not only provides beautiful music, but there is also the visual side of a performance. Aedan dresses appropriately for the occasion, be it elegant, casual or themed. She plays the Celtic harp, which sounds just as gorgeous as the concert harp, and is also visually beautiful, standing almost 5' tall with a striking ebony finish.
Aedan can provide a state-of-the art sound system if needed, or a smaller, but powerful, battery-operated amplifier for outdoor events.
Always on time and professional, you will love working with Aedan. She does everything she can to accommodate you and your guests to help make the music portion of your event a success.
Aedan is an award-winning harpist, singer and multi-instrumentalist.
Over the past 30 years she has performed in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area for radio shows, public television, music festivals, benefits, art shows, restaurants, hotels, private parties, weddings, funerals and religious celebrations. Aedan has recorded for "Outlander" and "American Princess," and is the harp coach for "The Big Bang Theory." She has also appeared as a guest harpist on several CD's, She currently plays harp with several groups in the Los Angeles area.
Set up is quite easy. A small 5' x 5' area on dry, flat ground is required. If outdoors, shade is also required. Aedan has her own sound system, or she can plug into an existing system.
