Perfect choice!

Sophie was absolutely the perfect choice for the wedding, she was flexible with the times we asked her to play (before & after dinner) and had a great variety of music options.

I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a harpist, and would absolutely use her again!

Tears all around

We had the pleasure of having Sophie perform for our wedding this week. We requested music from video games and movies we adore, even songs she didn't know but learned them anyway just for us!! Absolutely spectacular and as soon as we heard the animal crossing theme there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Thankyou so much for making our day even more special x

The perfect choice

We just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for being such a special part of our wedding day. Sophie's music created such a beautiful atmosphere during the ceremony and reception - it added a touch of magic that so many of our guests commented on.

Hearing the harp walking down the aisle and throughout the afternoon reception was something we’ll never forget. It truly helped set the tone for the whole day: elegant, joyful, and full of love.

Sophie is such a talented musician, with modern and classics alike the harp brought an air of class and sophistication to our day, couldn't recommend her enough!

Amazing wedding harpist!

Sophie recently performed at our wedding, for both the ceremony itself and the drinks reception. Before booking, she met with us and answered all our questions. She took on board some special requests and done them a lot of justice! Her music on the day was beautiful and created such a lovely atmosphere. All our guests loved her, would definitely recommend. So incredibly talented!

Fantastic addition to our day

Wonderful harpist with extensive repertoire. We were lucky enough to be able to choose all of the songs for our wedding day which added a huge personal touch. Sophie's communication before the day was spot on. Our guests raved about the harp at our ceremony and we were blown away by how good Sophie is. We are forever grateful for making our day even more unforgettable! Thank you.

Sophie is the best

Sophie played for our wedding at Neidpath Castle. The choice of songs she offers is staggering and she is so skilled at what she does. Added to that, she is absolutely delightful. Nothing was too much for her - she even learnt something new which was a special piece of music to me and I’m sure is so niche that she is unlikely to play it for others but did it anyway. I couldn’t recommend her enough. So lucky to have found her to make our day even more special.

Amazing Harpist for our wedding day!

We hired Sophie for our wedding in October 2024 and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.

From the first email to the day itself, correspondence with her about anything at all was clear, easy and quick. Of all the things I had to worry about on the day, Sophie was not one of them! Coincidentally, she even dressed in my colour scheme which I loved!!

As the bride, I didn’t get to hear her play before the ceremony and truthfully I don’t remember much of walking down the isle due to emotions but watching it all back on the video, she sounded great and played beautifully while me and the bridesmaids entered.

Everyone who was at our wedding has said how lovely it was to hear her playing while they waited and after the ceremony.

If you’re considering a harpist, Sophie would be a perfect choice. Do it, you won’t regret it

Great job!

Sophie was great on the day. Communication beforehand was really straightforward. We had asked for a last minute change to the set up for the welcome drinks and she accommodated this really well. Unfortunately we missed most of the music on the day but lots of people told me how much they enjoyed the harp in the background during the canapés.

Sophie was amazing

We were absolutely delighted to have Sophie play at our wedding ceremony. She is immensely talented, and her playing really captured the atmosphere of our special day perfectly. The booking process was very easy, and she gave us a long, diverse list of pieces of music to choose from, even learning one of my wife's favourite pieces of music especially for the day. Eight months on, our wedding guests still talk about how much they loved listening to Sophie. I would highly recommend her.

Perfect addition to our wedding day!

Sophie played during our wedding at Fruin Farm in May 2024. Prior to the wedding Sophie communicated with us very clearly about the plans for our ceremony which was great. She had a large and varied selection of different songs for us to choose from. We met over zoom a little while before our wedding and Sophie answered any questions that we had and also played the harp for us which was lovely. On the day the harp music was the perfect addition to our ceremony - we loved it and so many of our guests commented that they did too! Sophie is incredibly talented musician and we are so glad that we booked her for our wedding. We would highly recommend Sophie to other couples planning their wedding.

Business owner and harpist

I'm a small but mighty team of one! I've been playing the harp for over 20 years now and there's nothing I love more than using it to make someone's day.

Outside playing the harp, I'm a keen runner, cinema goer and music lover so you'll find me out and about on the Glasgow canals, The GFT or at one of Glasgow's many excellent gig venues!
