Description

Since graduating from the University of Surrey with a first class Bachelors of Music Christine has launched her career as a professional harpist for weddings and events.
Her playing can bring a whole new level of emotion to a ceremony, bringing tears to eyes and creating a spine tinglingly beautiful atmosphere. During a meal or drinks reception guests are often surprised by her impressive and lively renditions of songs which you'd never expect to hear on a harp.
She is particularly sought after for her skillful arrangements of modern music as well as jazz, folk, classical, soundtracks ... and bollywood with a repertoire of over 4 hours stored in her memory.
Christine can provide top quality amplification and works hard to ensure her playing can be clearly heard.
Professional, friendly and responsive, she would love to hear about your event.

Christine Palethorpe - Harpist - Nottingham, East Midlands Event Location: Swancar Farm Country House Event Type: Wedding 23rd October 2017

On behalf of myself, my wife Sue, Emily and Craig, I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing for us at Emily and Craig’s wedding on Monday. The way you played made it a magical atmosphere for the ceremony and afterwards and lots of people who attended the wedding have praised ‘the harpist’ and commented on the many different types of music that you played for us.

After finding Christine's beautiful version of Ellie Goulding 'how long will I love you' on YouTube I just knew I had to have her play at my wedding, my wedding was last Saturday and Christine was exceptional! I walked down the aisle to Eric Clapton 'wonderful tonight' on the harp and it was everything I ever imagined! I can't thank you enough!
