Zöe was absolutely brilliant throughout our wedding ceremony, everything was great from communication before to everything on the day. The guests really enjoyed the lovely music, highly recommend!

Zoe was absolutely fantastic the playing of the music and timing to our non traditional entrance was greatly appreciated. She played tracks that are uncommon upon request and did so amidst a lot of action. The guests really enjoyed her and was regularly asking about her. Great communication from the very start. One thing is you are in safe hands with Zoe from start to finish.

Zoe played the harp during our wedding ceremony and during some of the reception. We were so happy with her playing. Zoe happily agreed to play music she has not played before for when I walked down the isle. She played this perfectly despite the song not being familiar to her. Lots of our guests commented that the harp was a lovely addition and they enjoyed the music. We would highly recommend Zoe.
Jess
Zoe played absolutely beautifully at our wedding, it created such a special moment for us. She was very accommodating as we had a few last minute location changes due to the weather and Zoe was easy to communicate with throughout! Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day, we really appreciate it 🙂

Heleb
Zoe was remarkable on our special day. She really made the ceremony so magical with her perfect playing - I only wish as the bride i'd been able to listen to her play more! All the guests were enchanted and had lots of compliments for Zoe. It was so magical hearing my chosen piece "a perfect day" by miriam stockley played. Not only was Zoe perfect but she made it to our wedding in storm Eunice - on time and incredibly professional. Zoe I honestly cannot thank you enough!
Jordan
I hired Zoe for a private birthday and she was amazing! She performed a range of songs beautifully, captivating everyone who was fortunate enough to hear her play. I would have no second thoughts about hiring Zöe again for another event! Thank you again!
Sami-James
We had Zoe play for our wedding reception as the guests arrived and through some of the initial drinks prior to speeches. Very talented harpist, would recommend as was a great addition to our wedding.
Malcolm
We booked Zoe after hearing her playing at Holkham Hall in previous years. It was a wedding present for my niece and her new husband. The ceremony was outdoors on a beautiful September afternoon and Zoe’s harp playing was magical. It really set the tone for the day. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Guests are still speaking about it now. A day to remember. 🥰
Deborah
We came to hear Zoe’s beautiful harp playing as much as to see Holkham Hall! Her playing is so beautiful. Zoe playing in the marble entrance way of Holkham Hall is truly angelic. What a magnificent Christmas experience ❤️
Vicki
Zoe provided the music for our wedding and it was just beautiful. Communication before the day was great. Zoe was a little out of area to the venue but was happy to travel. We got to choose the music for the service. Guests commented about how lovely it was to listen to the harp whilst they waited for the service to begin. A lovely touch to the day. Would highly recommend Zoe.
Ellie
Zoe played beautiful music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. She was absolutely fantastic learning a piece of music especially for the walk down the aisle. Really pleased with the communication and the music played was beautiful- it made the wedding day! Thank you Zoe!
James and Lucy
Zoe played at our wedding reception at the end of June and she was absolutely amazing - it really made the reception even more special. All of the guests including ourselves loved the mix of music she played and she also, which I was over the moon about, learnt an additional song for us (my wife's favourite dance track). We can't rate Zoe highly enough and would highly highly recommend getting her to play at your event if she's available.
Lydia
We asked for Zoe to play at our wedding reception and she was utterly fantastic. When we came back from the Church she was already in full swing, playing Perfect by Ed Sheeran. It was so very memorable and atmospheric and the perfect backdrop to our mingling guests drinking champagne. She was able to play a full range of popular songs, and before we went through to the marquee she played a few requests for me and my husband including a Lewis Capaldi song she had recently learnt for the event. My parents loved her harp playing and we would all thoroughly recommend Zoe.
Emily
Zoe was absolutely amazing during our wedding.. she set the most amazing atmosphere throughout and we had so so many comments at how beautiful her music was! She really made our day 🙂 highly highly recommend! 🙂
Catherine
Zoe has played during our festive events for a number of years now. She is perfect for our setting and the time of year. Zoe is always a pleasure to deal with, shes professional, reliable, so easy to deal with and above all her playing is sublime!
Victoria
Zoe was an absolute must at our wedding and exceeded our expectations- she played at our ceremony - the wedding March - signing of Regista and also during our wedding breakfast as background music. I always dreamed of having a harpist and I wasn’t disappointed by her professionalism and her beautiful talent - all of our guests , adults and children also very much enjoyed her Many thanks Zoe x
Laura
Just wanted to say, what a privilege it was to have booked Zoey for our wedding day.. She is a fantastic Harpest and done us both proud. She played all our specific songs with elegance both at the church and for our reception.. All of our guests and the Reverend commented on how beautiful and professional the harpest was....also guest were shocked that Zoey could play such a variety of songs.
Sophie and Carl
Zoe was absolutely fantastic! We had a church ceremony in which I had requested that Zoe played the beautiful classical pieces, as I walked down the aisle, during the signing of the register and as we left the church as a married couple. Zoe then moved over to our drinks reception and played so many lovely contemporary pieces and began our celebrations surrounded by family and friends. Zoe was polite, friendly and professional throughout and if you are considering booking a harpist for your wedding or special occasion, do not hesitate to contact her!
Nicola
When I got married in July two of my wishes was to get married outside and have a harpist play Christina Perry thousand years as I walked down the aisle. I was so lucky to have them both. Zoe played beautifully and her music was breathtaking! Zoe added a certain elegance to our wedding which we are so grateful for. If a talented harpist is what you are looking for then Zoe is your lady.
Hollie
So pleased we chose Zöe to play at our wedding ceremony. The music was beautifully played and made our day special. Had so many wonderful comments from guests! Excellent communication from start to finish and helped us to choose our music. A lovely lady and very reasonably priced. Don't hesitate to book.
Bradley
We booked Zöe to perform at our wedding and we are so happy that we did! Zöe's performance was first class, not only did she provide harp music for us but she also performed the organ music to accompany our hymns. Zöe was professional throughout the whole process, she helped me find the correct hymn music, turned up early, and performed brilliantly on an Organ that was very old and had some faulty keys. All our guests loved Zöe's performance and my wife was over the moon that we had such an amazing harpist at our wedding. I would highly recommend and wish Zöe all the best!
Reg
Such a talented artist. I and my guests so enjoyed the selection of songs both old and new. Her new CD is excellent also. The time just flew by and we didn’t want her to stop.
Zainab
Thank you so much for Saturday. We both cannot say enough how incredible you were. I had no idea (as I was getting ready and no one told me) that on the day so many things went wrong with entrance timings etc but Donna and Zayd both told me you were amazing about it all. Also you learnt the Arabic Song beyond perfect, especially in such a short space of time, but it's been an important traditional song since childhood for me, and you made it all happen, so I am forever grateful. Thank you once again, you are incredibly talented.
David
Zoe played at my wedding during the ceremony and reception. Zoe was absolutely brilliant, so many of my friends and family came up to me to say how much they appreciated this beautiful music and I couldn’t agree more. It really made a difference to our day. I loved walking down to All of Me by John Legend, played by Zoe, it was such a special moment in my life and the harp made it even more beautiful!
Josefina
I was only able to hear her play as I walked down the aisle, which was lovely. However, my husband and many other guests commented on how talented and beautifully she played the harp before I arrived. It really set the tone and ambience and I’m incredibly happy. The day was perfect
Ruth
Zoe played for my father at his 82nd birthday. It was a surprise present. She travelled to his home and was playing as I lead my father into his living room. He was so overwhelmed it brought tears to his eyes. Her choice of music was perfect and I can not recommend her highly enough.
Daniel and Claire
Zoe was perfect. She was extremely helpful from the prep to the day of the wedding. We asked for so many different songs, from Game of Thrones to You've Got a Friend in Me. She was really responsive and very professional throughout the entire time. Everyone praised her on the day and there were many tears as Claire walked down the aisle, she helped create the perfect atmosphere. I have already recommended her to my sister who is getting married year.
Mr & Mrs Doherty
Zoe played at our wedding - she was absolutely amazing, we first saw her at a wedding Fayre and as soon as we heard her play we knew we had to have her at our wedding. She travelled very far for us to come and play which we really appreciate. She really set the moment for us when I walked down the aisle, in the foyer and during our wedding breakfast. It was so lovely to hear the music playing in the background was beautiful. We will never forget it. Thank you so much Zoe. xxx
Nicky
Zoe Anderton was outstanding at our wedding. We provide a list of modern music that we asked her to play and it wasn't a problem for Zoe. Sensational.
Katie
We booked Zoe to play at our wedding reception and she was fantastic, we had so many compliments! I loved how she played a selection of both classical and modern music, she set a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend Zoe, you will not be disappointed.
Wentworth hotel
We have had the pleasure of welcoming Zoe into the hotel numerous times to play before and during lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Our guests always comment on how beautiful she plays, the variety and how soothing and relaxing it feels along with the ambience and atmosphere of the hotel. We Hope to see Zoe again very soon.
Rachel
As a fellow harpist I couldn't exactly play the harp for myself when I walked down the aisle so Zoe was my first choice to do it for me! Zoe was a joy to organise the arrangements of the wedding with, completely professional, friendly, generous with her time and talents. Hearing her play my favourite piece as I came down the aisle was the best moment! Thanks for adding a bit of magic on our special day!
Chris
Zöe played for wife as should walked down the aisle, a simply beautiful addition to our marriage service. Nothing can quite compare to the sound of the harp, especially when played by Zöe. In addition to her fabulous talent is her pleasant nature and flexibility. She was warm, caring and accommodating to our every need!
Tina
We met Zoe at a wedding fayre. We asked Zoe to play our chosen wedding song, and we were blow away by her performance. We booked straight away and was so pleased that we did. We had great communication with Zoe and she also learnt some new music to accommodate one of our songs that we wanted playing. On the day she was at the venue really early setting up and also played throughout our wedding breakfast. The music was flawless and sounded beautiful. I am still amazed by her skills and it gave my wedding that extra special touch!
Leila
Zoe played at my wedding and she was superb! She's an amazing harpist, her performance was hugely appreciated by ourselves and our guests. She made our day extra special. I can't recommend her highly enough. She's very professional, friendly, attentive, flexible and we are so happy we had the immense pleasure of having her play at our wedding. Thank you so very much Zoe!
Claire
Zoe was brilliant and so flexible! Zoe played at our wedding without even getting the chance to practise with us and was able to adapt to the flow of the service with ease. Beautiful music commented on by many guests. She’s just what you need on a nerve-wracking day!
Anne
Zoe played at my daughters wedding..it was amazing, made the day..very talented ..would highly recommend her to add her magic touch to your special day.
Rachel
Knowing already of Zoe, and having heard recordings of her playing, I was confident in her ability to play well, and I asked her to to play the harp at our wedding. The 2 pieces I had selected - Gabriel's Oboe (from The Mission), and a piece from the film Tangled were performed beautifully! About the prelude music (before I entered), my friend said it was 'amazing'. Zoe is a wonderful, talented performer and composer. I would recommend her.
Jayne
Zoe played the harp at our daughter's wedding - beautifully. The music was lovely, she played effortlessly and impressed us all. I would thoroughly recommend Zoe to play at any function, she needed no instruction just competently entertained our guests on our very special day. It was magic.
Georgina
Zoe was amazing and professional from day one when we booked her for our wedding. Zoe and the music choice made our big day special. She created such a romantic and warm atmosphere. Our guests and we were so impressed with Zoe and her very talented harp playing. We are so pleased that Zoe was part of why our day was so perfect.
Nicole
Zoe’s harp playing really was the icing on the cake at our wedding. She was super, her playing was beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for more. I was running late on the day but my guests didn’t mind one bit because it meant they got more time listening to Zoe play! I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Zoe!
Janice
Zoe, the magnificent harpist played at my summer wedding. It was one of the highlights of the evening. she captivates my guest with her melodious music while we sign the register. To date, it's still one of our fondest memory.
Lorraine
Zoe is an accomplished musician and very professional. I had a Christmas Wedding and the harp looked beautiful at the front of the church with all the wreaths and garlands. Zoe played while the guests arrived and the soothing harp music set a wonderful festive ambience. Lots of guests commented on how much they enjoyed hearing the harp.
Aimee
We highly recommend Zoe, we recently got married in August at the double Tree By Hilton, Zoe was perfect and very talented, all the guests commented on how beautiful she played, helping create a calming and peaceful atmosphere, It was so lovely to walk into the venue to Zoe playing the harp it made me instantly smile! We had Zoe playing the harp whilst we were eating and it was as so relaxing and just made the day for us! We requested songs which Zoe played brilliantly, great addition to the wedding!!
Emily
Zoe has a natural ability to set the tone of a room exactly how you'd want it, we suggested a couple of songs and she chose lots more that were perfect. She was very reliable and took care of everything! We found her to be very professional and would recommend her to anyone confident that they would have the same amazing experience we had. Friends remarked that the music for our wedding was the best they'd heard, some still talk about it now!
Kirsty
Thank YOU so much Zoe, it was really lovely. Granted i did miss most of you, but Stephen was actually choked up at the surprise of you playing, particularly when you played 1000 years. We were meant to get married last October so that his sister could be there - we found out she had terminal cancer in June last year, but she passed away in September, hence we had to postpone. That song was very special to Stephen as it reminded him of his sister. It was like she was there with us when you played.
Jemma
It was really lovely having you there playing and it helped make our day even more special. Lots of the guests commented on how great you were and one of our friends said that it made her feel like she was in some kind of magical dream with your harp music floating beautifully across the grounds.
Lucy
Zoe created such a lovely atmosphere for our Wedding Ceremony, just what we were looking for. The harp is such a fantastic choice of instrument for a Wedding and Zoe played our choice of piece beautifully and with great expression. Zoe has a fun personality and has a very professional manner. We would highly recommend her musical expertise at your Wedding or any event.
Janine
Zoe played the harp for our wedding in March and it was absolutley beautiful. She played all the songs we asked for and our guests commented on how lovely it was to have something different like this for the ceremony. Zoe was very professional and and It all went very smoothly.
Charles Stanley Group
Zöe was professional and friendly from the moment I contacted her to play at our Norwich office 30th Anniversary reception. Zoe played beautifully, adding to the atmosphere of the evening and impressing our guests. I would highly recommend her for your event.
Gill
Zoe played at our wedding reception on Saturday 2nd June. We left the choice of music to Zoe and she played a mixture of classical and modern pieces. She played the harp beautifully and created a wonderful atmosphere which our guests were delighted with. Zoe was very approachable and friendly and we really enjoyed having her there. She always communicated promptly and was a pleasure to meet. We could not recommend her highly enough. She was amazing!

Zoe is so talented, she not only played throughout our welcome drinks reception but learnt our chosen track for our first dance - which will be something we will always remember. We really enjoyed her playing and thought she was thoroughly professional throughout the day, even the small rain shower didn't put her off. Would recommend.
