Biography - About us

Valeria is one of the most in-demand wedding harpists in London and the South East — known not only for her incredible talent, but also for her versatility, warmth, and breathtakingly elegant performances.

Her beautiful harp music adds a magical, romantic atmosphere to wedding ceremonies, receptions, drinks gatherings and special events of all sizes. Whether you’re planning a quiet countryside ceremony or a large, lively celebration, Valeria has the skill — and the sound — to elevate every moment. Valeria’s wide-ranging repertoire includes classical favourites, jazz, blues, and stunning harp arrangements of popular chart hits — making her the perfect choice for couples who want a unique musical experience that reflects their style. She’s also one of the few harpists in the UK who offers professional amplification, allowing her to be heard clearly at outdoor weddings, large venues, or receptions where subtle music needs to carry beautifully above the ambient noise.

A musical prodigy, Valeria began playing harp at the age of 8 in Russia, progressing through the prestigious Gnessin State Musical College and Moscow Conservatoire before graduating from the Royal College of Music in London. Her career has since taken her across the world, performing at The Royal Albert Hall, The Barbican, Cadogan Hall, The National Gallery, the Houses of Parliament, and internationally at events like the iTunes Festival and Boiler Room Ibiza with the London Electronic Orchestra.

Always open to innovation, Valeria can also incorporate loop pedal technology into her performance — creating mesmerising layers of sound in real time, similar to Ed Sheeran’s live setup. It’s a visually and musically stunning experience that adds a contemporary edge to the classic harp — ideal for couples looking to truly impress their guests. (This optional upgrade requires additional sound equipment and carries a small extra charge.)

Valeria’s harp playing is the perfect way to add elegance, energy, and a sense of occasion to your wedding day. Her performances are not only technically outstanding — they’re emotionally unforgettable.

Due to high demand, early booking is recommended to secure Valeria for your date.

Testimonials and reviews

“I've never heard a harpist play with such clarity like this before!”
Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones

"Thank you so much for performing so wonderfully last night. I really meant it when I said that it was beyond perfect and I can’t tell you how very grateful I am to you for helping to make the event so incredibly special and memorable for our guests. It really was such a joy to listen to such a fabulous and professional performance, which was beyond anything I could have hoped for. It was so obvious how much the guests enjoyed listening to you, and I’m so pleased they all wanted to thank you personally afterwards! We run so many events here and they can sometimes all start to blend into one, but last night will always really stand out for be as one of the most special I’ve had the pleasure of working on.”
