“Sophie Literally Rocks! Sophie was absolutely incredible from the moment we met to having our final song play us back up the aisle as husband and wife. Sophie is the most accommodating and kindest (don't forget talented) person, and we can't recommend Sophie enough. We will be forever grateful for the atmosphere Sophie created. Thank you so much Sophie! ” - Natalie & Craig, November 2025

“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!” - Chris & Jo, May 2025
FAQS
I’ve tried my best to answer any questions you may have below but should you have any others, please get in touch!
Do you play Clarsach or Pedal Harp? For weddings, I usually perform on a pedal harp but I can also perform on a smaller folk harp called the clarsach. The Clarsach is better known for traditional music and is more portable but if you’re having a large number of guests, I’d recommend the pedal harp as the sound carries much better.
How much space does the harp need? The Pedal (concert) harp needs an area of 2m x 3m, while the Clarsach requires about 2m x 2m.
Do you take special requests? Yes, I’m always excited to learn new music and requests are a great way to do this! Please let me know at least one month before the ceremony about any special requests to allow the time for me to arrange and learn the music. I want your soundtrack to reflect your own personal tastes so I’m happy to learn two new song requests for your big day. Any additional custom
requests are charged at £50 per song.
How many songs will you play? The answer to this question varies hugely but at an absolute minimum, I will play five songs for the arrival of your guests and four songs for your ceremony - one for the arrival of the bridal party, two for the signing of the register and a fourth song to accompany you both up the aisle. If you would like me to play for your drinks reception or wedding breakfast, I perform an average of twenty songs an hour. I will tailor my set to include as many of your favourites as you would like, this can mean you choosing all the songs played throughout the day or just choosing your four songs for the ceremony and leaving the rest to me, it is entirely up to you.
Can you play outside? Yes, BUT this is weather and temperature dependent. If there is any hint of rain, this is bad for my instrument and if it's below 13 degrees, my hands are likely to stiffen and this can lead to injury - in either of these instances, I then have to be inside. If you’re planning on having your weddings outdoors, I am only happy to be part of your big day if there is a back up plan!
How do you transport your harp? For longer journeys, the harp travels in an estate car with back seats folded down. For short distances (for example from the ceremony room to the reception room) I move my instrument using a special trolley designed for moving the harps.
Can you move from one area to another during a wedding day? Yes - please let me know in advance if this is between two separate venues as additional charges may apply if I am required to drive to another venue. Please also take the time it takes to move between venues and spaces (at least 10 minutes) into consideration.
Can you take your harp upstairs? Yes, I am able to take my harp up most sets of stairs - however, the pedal harp is unable to go up spiral staircases. Please let me know if your venue has stairs so I am aware and even better, please let me know if there is a lift!
How does payment work? I take a £100 deposit to secure the booking with the outstanding balance due one week before your wedding date; however, this can be paid anytime before then if you’d like to clear your decks. Payments can be made via bank transfer or PayPal.
Do you play events other than weddings? Yes, I perform at corporate events, birthdays, engagements, anniversaries and any other occasion. I am also available for recitals.
How much do you charge for playing at a function? This depends mainly on:
- the location of the venue
- the duration of the performance
Prices start at £425, please contact me for more details.
“A magical addition to your wedding! Sophie will make your special day even more magical. She is an incredibly talented harpist with a wide range of songs to choose from. We knew from our first meeting with Sophie that she was the harpist we wanted for our wedding. We had a lovely discussion about the ins and outs of the day before having a quick run through some songs we liked. We mentioned one song that wasn’t on the list that we had hoped to have in the ceremony and after a couple of minutes Sophie was able to give us a little demo. We couldn’t have been happier with the service provided from the moment of our first meeting until our special day, and we cannot recommend Sophie enough! ” - Mr. & Mrs. Wright, July 2023
“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 did them a lot of justice! Her music on the day was beautiful and created such a lovely atmosphere. All our guests loved her; we would definitely recommend her. So incredibly talented! ” - Mr & Mrs. Hamilton, May 2025
