Latest reviews of our Harpists in Stoke-on-Trent
"Jess played a wonderful set of sets at our wedding. She is a truly incredible musician and we are so lucky to have had her perform as part of our day. In addition to her (extensive!) selection of songs, she arranged a harp version of a track that is special to my partner and I for her to walk down the aisle to. It turned out better than we could have ever imagined. In the lead up to the big day, Jess ensured all the right questions had been asked & answered to ensure everything went smoothly. We cannot recommend her enough."

No question was too much (and I asked alot) no request to hard and I’m actually sad to not know her personally. The music was delicate and precise. She made our wedding day.
