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.

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!

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. 🥰

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
