Back in August 2022 Lisa was the harpist for our wedding ceremony and short ceremony reception afterwards.
Once we had spoken to Lisa she was absolutely incredible in helping us decide the song list and in particular in her willingness to basically play anything we wanted!
For the ceremony we cannot describe how beautiful her performance was. Lisa is a truly gifted harpist but has the most beautiful voice and this really came across throughout. Absolutely every one of guests commented at how amazing they thought Lisa was and set a truly stunning and beautiful atmosphere for the ceremony and afterwards.
Again for the ceremony reception she have another beautiful performance which was perfectly set in the gardens of our venue.
We cannot recommend Lisa enough and you are guaranteed to get a unique and breathtaking experience.
