With 25 years of experience and training, and a unique illuminated harp, I created performances that are both visually stunning and musically enchanting. Every event is carefully tailored to enhance the atmosphere, ensuring unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is based on location, duration, and customization. After learning more about your event, I’ll provide a detailed quote outlining everything included.
Do you offer nonprofit or community event pricing?
Yes—I’m proud to support nonprofit and community organizations with a specialized pricing structure. Nonprofit bookings include extended performance time built into the base rate, allowing for up to 90 minutes of continuous music for most events. Additional time can be added in half-hour increments if needed, and I’m always happy to tailor the music coverage to best fit your event.
Do you offer recurring or ongoing performances?
Yes. I’m happy to work with venues, churches, assisted living communities, and other organizations interested in recurring or ongoing harp performances. These arrangements are customized based on schedule and setting.
How far in advance should I book?
Most clients book several months in advance, especially for weddings and popular seasonal dates. That said, I’m always happy to check availability for last-minute inquiries when possible.
Do you perform outdoors?
Yes, with appropriate coverage or shade to protect my harp. Outdoor performances may require additional considerations depending on the weather and temperature.
Can I request specific songs?
Absolutely. I offer a wide and varied repertoire and also create custom arrangements when needed. Song requests are discussed as part of the planning process.
Is amplification required?
In most settings, my harp carries naturally and does not require amplification. If a venue prefers sound reinforcement for larger spaces, I can coordinate the placement of a microphone seamlessly.
