October 20, 2019Meghan was very professional, had a clear contract that covered everything. She followed exactly our requests and the feel we were looking for, and worked with us ahead of time to make sure everything went smoothly at the wedding. Our guests loved the music as well as the picture such a beautiful instrument makes. I will definitely look for another event where I can use her again.

April 7, 2019We were so grateful that Meghan Davis performed at our wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the event; her repertoire is voluminous and varied, and she helped us refine our musical selections when we needed assistance. We will fondly remember Meghan's pleasant, professional demeanor and her talent on the harp, accompanied by her gifted voice, as we think back to our beautiful wedding day. She can bring light to any event, and we offer our strongest recommendation that she brighten yours! -- Mark & Dana

October 24, 2018Meghan played at my wedding. Although my timeline was off she adapted and played beautifully. I was lucky that the ceremony was at a private residence and I was able to hear her beautiful music while I was finishing getting ready. My guests all loved her and complimented her style and way of playing. Thank you for playing so beautifully. I will remember it forever.

The harp's lush and warm sounds provide the perfect backdrop to any wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, solo performance, and many other events. It can be paired beautifully with other instruments such as the cello, violin, viola, flute, clarinet and others and it is gorgeous on its own.
When I first began playing the harp at the age of nine, I couldn’t reach the pedals! I fell in love with the instrument years before on a family trip to Ireland, and I haven’t looked back. I have performed for weddings and other events since I was twelve years old when I was paid with gifts instead of money. Fast forward to today, and I have played the harp for hundreds of weddings, parties, concerts, and for many other occasions.
I studied with the current Singapore Symphony Principal Harpist, Gulnara Mashurova, in New York City for eight years before attending The Peabody Conservatory of Music of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where I studied with renowned harpist, Dr. Ruth Inglefield. During my time at Peabody, I played with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, The Peabody Wind Ensemble, and many chamber groups.
In addition to my harp studies, I have always been passionate about singing. I received Bachelor’s degrees from Peabody in both harp and voice performance. While there, I studied voice with distinguished mezzo-soprano, Marianna Busching. I was a member of The Peabody Singers for all four years at Peabody. I appeared in The Marriage of Figaro, The Tales of Hoffmann, and the world premiere of The Yellow Wallpaper as a member of the Peabody Opera Company. Upon graduation, I was awarded the Charles M. Eaton Prize for vocal performance, as well as the Azalia H. Thomas Prize for Music Theory. Additionally, I was elected to the Epsilon Omicron chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, a higher education honor society for music.
Following my studies at Peabody, I decided to pursue my Master’s degree in vocal performance at the Boyer College of Music of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I studied with the established mezzo-soprano, Dr. Lorie Gratis. I appeared in La Boheme as a member of the Temple University Opera Company. I was also a member of the Temple University Concert Choir and the Graduate Conductors Choir. After graduating with my Master’s degree, I settled in the Philadelphia area, where I started my business and worked for over six years. I am excited to be moving to the Washington, DC metro area, where I will have the opportunity perform in the nation’s capital. I am very fortunate to be able to do what I love every day, and to share that love of music with others!
I have an extensive repertoire list, but I am always looking to continue to expand. If you do not see your desired song on my list, I can arrange it for a small fee. I love seeing the looks on my clients' faces when they hear the arrangement that was written just for them!

*current arrangement is for both harp and cello, not solo harp
I enjoy listening to and performing a wide variety of music. I love Classical music, as well as jazz standards, and music by more modern artists such as Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Bruno Mars, the Beatles, Elton John, and more!
A level surface for the harp
If outside, it needs to be a reasonable temperature.
As few stairs as possible. A ramp or elevator strongly preferred.
