What is your price for performing at events?
I charge €250 as a base price which includes music for up to an hour, travel, and a consultation hearing. Additional time is €50 per additional half hour. I charge €300 for wedding ceremonies as a flat rate since the timing of these events is unpredictable and they take significant preparation.
What is included in the wedding ceremony price?
30 minutes of seating music for the guests, all music for the ceremony, and exit music while your guests leave the ceremony area, including any special music requests. Music for the cocktail hour is €100 additional.
Can your harp be amplified if I’m worried about sound?
Yes, I have an electro-acoustic harp, meaning it’s an acoustic instrument with microphones installed inside the soundboard. It can easily be plugged into any speaker.
Why is your base fee higher than your hourly fee?
Moving a harp is time consuming and challenging. It often takes me most of the day to get the harp to your event, and then home again. You are not paying me just for that hour, but essentially for the day! You are also covering the hours of practice time and preparation before the event takes place to ensure my performance is perfect.
How long have you been playing the harp?
I began playing in 1995.
