“Having live harp music played at our wedding really enhanced the atmosphere and made the whole day feel even more magical! Susannah is lovely, accommodating and very professional, an absolute pleasure to work with!
I received many good feedback from the guests as well as the Registrar about how much they liked you playing the harp at our wedding, thank you very much!”
“A big thank you for playing at our wedding, the music was perfect, everyone praised us for having a harpist, it enhanced the ceremony and played a huge part in making the atmosphere just wonderful.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our day and wouldn’t have changed anything.”
Weddings and Functions
The harp brings magic to all occasions and is a popular choice for weddings, drinks receptions and banqueting. From playing during the ceremony ( for example as your guests arrive, bridal entrance, signing of the register and exit) to providing background music for your drinks reception and/or wedding breakfast.
Zanna has played a variety of wedding venues, including churches, hotels, gardens. She is very happy to provide a variety of music, depending upon the mood you want to create, whether popular, classical pieces, celtic or romantic songs. She has experience of performing at both civil and church ceremonies and is well aware of what music is allowed. If you have a favourite piece of music that is not listed on the repertoire page, please contact Zanna and she will try to arrange it especially for your special day. She is happy to arrange a consultation before your special day so that you can hear the harp live.
Costs will vary depending on what parts of the special day you want Zanna to play in and date and distance. Although currently based in London, she is happy to travel
