The East Midlands Harpist really made our wedding day start off beautifully... her choice of music and the subtlety of the way she played was amazing. You could talk and mingle but at the same time listen to her wonderful playing of the Harp. I would highly recommend Lisa, she was exceptionally professional and was a delightful addition to our wedding.

We booked Lisa (The East Midlands Harpist) to play during our arrival drinks and wedding breakfast in August. The communication leading up to our event with Lisa was absolutely fantastic. She really did go the extra mile to ensure she was to play songs that we wanted. Such a lovely lady to deal with. She was such a professional and very talented and created a great atmosphere whilst our guests enjoyed their meal. We would highly recommend this amazing harpist for that extra special touch at your event.
