Our day went by so fast but Meredith was so lovely to work with and she made sure that our ceremony music was beautiful! The guests all loved hearing her play!

What to expect
My repertoire includes Celtic, Baroque, light classical, jazzy, and folk music as well as contemporary ballads. Since I am a trained pedal harpist, and have played professionally for over 25 years, I have a large and varied repertoire. I love playing for weddings. Outdoor weddings are my specialty. I am very flexible and have a professional grade sound system. I include a consultation in my studio (The Harp Studio) for every event. I enjoy introducing the harp to audiences at coffee houses and restaurants and often speak about the history of the harp and the pieces played.
I also play the therapeutic harp music in private and hospital settings.
About
Meredith currently performs as a harpist for many special occasions such as weddings, openings, teas, and parties.
Playing the harp has been a lifelong endeavor for Meredith. She transitioned from pedal harp to lever harp (or folk harp) because of her love of the ringing timbre of the lever harps. These harps are smaller than the pedal harp and are lighter strung. Their sound may not be as full as their larger relative, but it is every bit as lovely.
