Private Events & Weddings
Live music can lift an event like nothing else. Whether you are an individual or a business, please contact me directly if you are planning an event and think the harp could be the visual and sonic element you need to bring it together. I’m happy to answer questions and provide you with a quote: kirstywhatley@hotmail.com
For me, it's wonderful to bring the harp out of the concert hall and into the many other spaces of "real" life; sharing special occasions, shaping rites of passage and adding the “extra” that can make guests feel they’re at something really special.
Please see below for my event repertoire list, and contact me for further details if you’re interested in having me play for you. (Prices usually range between £180-£500.)
Heading to an island event, Henley on Thames.
Repertoire List
Please browse my wedding and event repertoire below. This is the source I draw on to create a bespoke musical selection at your event. You can ask for it to be tailored entirely classical, contemporary or a blend of both. If you’re planning a wedding, I can guide you through the musical requirements for the ceremony, and on to the celebrations afterwards.
Special requests for pieces not listed here are welcome, but I do charge £7 per request, to cover arranging time and costs.
