Elegant, magical music and an absolute joy to work with!

Heather Wrighton was absolutely incredible and truly elevated our entire wedding day. From the ceremony to the reception, the music was beautiful, elegant, and created such a magical atmosphere for us and our guests. Every piece was played flawlessly and added such a special, memorable touch to each moment.

She was also amazing to work with—professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel seamless. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their day feel extra special.

The most brilliant harpist for the most brilliant day ever!

My husband and I found Heather on Google when we researched harpists nearby Farnham Castle, the location of our wedding. Right from the off, we knew her elegant and professional manner would be an excellent fit for our day - her Instagram profile showcasing her work (especially those at Farnham Castle's weddings) was notable evidence of that.

We got in touch with Heather via Instagram; she responded very quickly and was kind and helpful throughout our conversations. Her repertoire of songs is remarkably expansive, covering almost every genre of contemporary and classical music. For an additional fee, Heather learned a piece that was not part of her original repertoire and was to be played during our wedding processional.

On the day, Heather was a delight to speak to and made me feel calm ahead of the ceremony. She understood the vibe of the hall very well and played our wedding parties, parents, and ourselves in with a truly emotional medley of songs. Heather also provided music for the outdoor drinks reception which was varied with upbeat and smooth classics.

To conclude; Heather was an important part of what we can only describe as the greatest ever day of our lives. She was not difficult to contact and has excellent knowledge of such popular wedding venues in the south east and this made it incredibly easy to work with her. Highly recommend for a touch of elegance to a beautiful, tasteful wedding day 😍🪉

The perfect music for our wedding!

Heather played at our wedding for our ceremony and drinks reception and it was absolutely beautiful. Heather is so talented and took special requests from us to include music that was truly special to us for our ceremony and matched the vibe and atmosphere so perfectly as she played throughout our drinks reception. We had compliments all day about how beautiful the music was. Thank you again Heather, it was magical.

Magical moments

Heather was absolutely outstanding! When we found Heather on instagram we instantly fell in love with her! Her music choices were phenomenal, from classical to the current day bangers everyone knows if you ask for it Heather can play it!

We requested a few special songs and one of which was a very important moment for me and my dad. She executed it perfectly and blew us both away.

Every single one of my guests said what a beautiful touch it was to have Heather play and we received so many compliments.

If you’re considering Heather for your special day then book her, you will not regret it.

I could write a thousand words to describe how amazing she is.

An absolute must!

Heather was truly wonderful and made our ceremony simply magical. I couldn’t recommend her more. Her communication beforehand, her repertoire of music, and her professionalism and commitment on the day was wonderful. I would recommend it to any couple who want to add that special something to their wedding.

Magic befitting Farnham Castle

Heather was brilliant from the moment we first started communicating. She had knowledge of our venue and options which was helpful of course, but most importantly she has a huge repertoire of musical options available to listen to so we could work together to craft the experience for our guests. She was flexible to our choices and needs and played all our chosen favourites absolutely perfectly. Hearing the Game of Thrones piece in the Great Hall at the Castle was simply perfect (for me at least!).
Everyone was enthralled with the playing, especially my friend's daughter who now wants to learn how to play herself.
The whole experience with Heather was magic, from start to finish.

Heather: A magical touch to our wedding ceremony



When we were searching for a musician for our ceremony, we went through dozens of artists but remained unconvinced until we found Heather. Her samples sounded beautiful online, but her live performance was truly out of this world. Heather doesn't just play the harp; she plays with heart.

We gave her a list of songs to perform, including several custom requests for the ceremony itself, and she executed everything perfectly. She is an incredibly talented person who made our ceremony feel absolutely magical.

Beyond her musical skill, Heather is such a lovely person. She spoke with our guests, built a great rapport with everyone, and even took requests on the fly, which was a wonderful touch. Professionally, she was seamless; setting up and moving out without any disruption to the day.

Thank you, Heather, for making our wedding ceremony perfect with your music. We cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to add a special, professional, and heartfelt touch to their big day.

Thanks again, Mr and Mrs Wahlen

Two Woods Wedding July 2026

Heather played for us at our ceremony in the woods and for an hour afterwards and we could not have been happier that we choose her. Her music was played beautifully and was really enjoyed by all the guests. At one moment during the wedding signing, my relatives started singing along to Heather's lovely rendition of a Welsh hymn and it was a real highlight of the day. We couldn't recommend Heather highly enough if anyone is considering hiring her. She was always very speedy in correspondence, eager to try and meet any request and just a really nice and warm person to interact with. Heather really helped to make our special day that bit more special.

Our Wedding!

Heather played at our wedding at the weekend and I can truly say she was fantastic! We booked her for the arrival of our guests and our ceremony and she added such a lovely atmosphere and vibe to the day. Lots of our guests commented on how incredible she played and how magical it was. Heather is incredibly lovely too and answered all questions I had and played a piece not on her list I walked down the aisle too. Truly recommend!

The most perfect soundtrack to our wedding!

Heather was amazing from start to finish! We had music throughout our wedding ceremony and welcome drinks, from Disney, pop and movie music! Our guests loved it, thank you Heather for taking requests from our guests! You are so talented. Heather was the first face I saw when walking up the aisle which brought me a lot of comfort. We highly recommend Heather to future brides and grooms, or other events :) thank you Heather!
