After you have sent an enquiry, we will discuss event details including what service you are looking for, the layout of the venue, and your preferences for repertoire for the ceremony. I can offer many musical suggestions to inspire you for this part, you don't have to have all the answers right away! After we have those details organised, we're all ready for the big day - I will arrive early to set-up, tune, and play for your guests arriving.

FAQ + prices are available below. I would love to hear from you if you have any questions e.g. repertoire and booking!

I am an Irish-born harpist based in Ottawa, with many years of experience playing for weddings and events. I love working with my clients to create their dream playlist for their ceremony! I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, where I had an instrumental performance scholarship.

I play Irish, pop, classic and contemporary music, and enjoy staying adaptable so that my clients can feel represented by their ceremony music - I have learned requests ranging from Taylor Swift to Metallica!

Amplification for outdoor events may be necessary - I can provide this and we can make a decision when we discuss the venue and guest capacity etc.
My requirements from the venue is simply and armless chair.
