I have been playing the harp since 2004 when I saw a picture of one at school and thought it looked pretty!

After studying at The Royal College of Music Junior Department with amazing teachers, I eventually chose to study the clarinet full time at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

On graduating and entering the world as a professional musician, I moved back to Rutland where I grew up. This is where I rediscovered my love for the harp and at my first wedding booking for a family friend, I found how much I love weddings.

I feel so privileged to be booked for a wedding or any event. You put such faith and trust in my abilities, and it shows that you want to make your event unique. So many of your guests will never have seen a harp up close; I may be biased but it's pretty beautiful!
​
I have been described as a "creative beast" by Michael Collins, world-renowned clarinettist, and always put my heart and soul into all my performances. I have been lucky enough to perform for audiences including The Vamps, Michael Parkinson, Her Grace The Duchess of Rutland and His Majesty King Charles III.

Harriet was amazing from the day we first met at a wedding fair. To when we said goodbye after her magnificent playing at our drinks reception. 
Harriet was very welcoming and really seemed excited to be part of our day, which is amazing as it gets you even more excited. She also provided an extra guide that has some of her favourite suppliers and provided us with some great people to work with.
Obviously, we choose Harriet for her musical ability. Which was out of this world!
She calmed down the groom by playing his chosen music before the ceremony, before then bringing the emotions when the bride walked down the aisle.
She had everyone tapping their feet and having a little shimmy whilst enjoying the drinks reception and made time to speak to any guest who had interest in her playing.
I would thoroughly recommend picking Harriet for that extra special touch for your day. The sound of the harp is perfect for a wedding and the way Harriet plays only magnifies this.
Thank you again Harriet!

Now for the bits you really want to know...
​
In no particular order, my favourite things are steam trains, history, salty hair and sand in my toes, Winston Churchill, fresh flowers, rich Italian food, country walks, sausage dogs, laughing at every opportunity, my family, paddleboarding, Rod Stewart, good conversation, Harry Styles, coffee, Taylor Swift, an iced vanilla latte, musicals, freshly baked croissants, sunshine, writing cards for any and every occasion, books, London, crime drama, culture and champagne!
​​
I absolutely love reading (my favourite book is The Railway Children) and I'm also mildly obsessed by the BBC's Pride & Prejudice. I'm a National Trust member and have convinced my husband that wandering around huge houses is a brilliant way to spend a day - we even had our engagement shoot at a Cambridgeshire National Trust estate!

We live in the beautiful Rutland countryside and can often be found watching trashy TV or reading on the sofa. We're big fans of Married At First Sight and Below Deck!
