About / Biography

Christine is an accomplished and sought after harpist in the East Midlands with a busy schedule of weddings and events each year. Her popularity owes largely to her uncommon ability to arrange music which isn’t intended for the harp and make it sound beautiful and most importantly recognisable.


Her playing brings a breathtaking atmosphere to a wedding ceremony, often bringing tears to loved ones’ eyes and making guests’ hair stand on end. During drinks receptions and meals the harp is the perfect instrument for background music; creating a lovely mood without making it difficult to talk. Her impressive range of well loved favourites gets conversations going as guests play ‘name that tune!'

Ceremony

  • Up to 30 minutes of pre-ceremony music to set the scene as your guests arrive and take their seats
  • One choice of music for walking down the aisle
  • Three choices for signing the register
  • One choice for exiting the ceremony. Usually something uplifting to kick off the celebrations
  • Select music from an extensive playlist
  • Experienced and friendly advice

Special Requests

  • Make a special request as an optional extra
  • A song of your choice arranged especially for harp
  • A recording of your song to preview before the day and listen back on forever

Drinks Reception

  • Up to 90 minutes of varied and familiar background music from her playlist.
  • Top quality amplification - a clear sound at an appropriate volume for the event.
  • Portable amplification - Christine can join your guests outdoors when the weather is suitable and select the best spot to be heard.


Wedding Breakfast

  • Music during the wedding breakfast – up to 2 hours with a 15 minute break
  • An optional music choice as the newlyweds are announced into the room.
  • A chance for the married couple to appreciate the music- they are often whisked away for photographs during the drinks reception.


Advance booking is recommended; particularly for summer weekends.

NB. Christine replies to ALL enquiries even if she's unavailable.
