Biography - About us

Celia is one of our most sought-after wedding harpists for hire in Essex, London and the South East, combining exceptional musicianship with a warm, down-to-earth personality. From a romantic bridal entrance to a relaxed drinks reception or elegant wedding breakfast, her beautiful harp music creates the atmosphere you want for your day.

Her credentials are outstanding: she performed with Olivia Rodrigo at the 2021 BRIT Awards, has played for King Charles III and Princess Michael of Kent, and collaborated with Florence and the Machine and Dizzee Rascal internationally. She also teaches harp at Eton College, writes examination questions for ABRSM and serves as an examiner - bringing the highest musical standards to your wedding.

Celia studied at the Purcell School of Music and graduated with first-class honours from the Royal College of Music, earning Bachelor of Music and Master of Performance degrees. Her solo performances include Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St James’s Palace, Kensington Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and 10 Downing Street. Her extensive classical and contemporary repertoire means you can choose music that feels personal, with special requests arranged given reasonable notice. Whether your celebration is intimate or grand, she brings elegance and calm. Choose solo harp or a duo with flute, violin, cello, saxophone or trumpet to suit your venue and style.

Testimonials and reviews

"Afternoon Tim, just had to thank you for all your help and patience over the last few months and especially the last couple of weeks. What an achievement by Harriet and her Dad to arrange moving the wedding from Saturday to Wednesday. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of providers like yourselves and Celia. What a wonderful/beautiful performance from her I could listen to her all day long, a true professional. Once again thank you, please pass on to Celia that I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to book. We wish you well during these difficult times personally and professionally." 
Debbie Fulcher. Mother of the Bride, Wedding, Essex (having already postponed the wedding three times already, they finally brought everything forward three days to beat the second lockdown). 

"One of the most promising young harpists of today."
Marisa Robles, famous Spanish harpist (regularly performing with flautist James Galway) 

"A classical talent to watch out for."
Anne-Marie Minhall, Classic FM
