WEDDINGS
Siona is available to play at various stages during your wedding day whether you are having a religious wedding ceremony or civil wedding ceremony, for your drinks reception, and for your wedding breakfast meal. The harp suits a variety of venues including churches, castles, country house hotels, gardens and marquees. The sound of the harp is unobtrusive, providing an enchanting background atmosphere, and the instrument itself is also visually stunning and so will add to the grandeur of your day. Siona is happy to perform any music you request from her music list. She will also do her best to accommodate any special requests that are not included, so if she does not already play your song she would be very happy to make a bespoke arrangement for you if it is possible on the harp.
Siona is currently based in the West Country and in London and is very happy to travel nationwide for your event.
