The Vega 46 has been designed for busy performers who require an easily transportable harp. The compact size allowed by its 46 string compass makes this harp smaller and more lightweight for ease of movement within wedding venues etc, while the extended soundboard provides the sound projection and volume needed by function harpists. Quality carved decoration to pillar and pedestal and arabesque decoration to the soundboard lend a classic air to the Vega's appearance.

Helen-Elizabeth has performed at most of the top wedding venues in Derbyshire and Oxfordshire providing live musical accompaniment for wedding ceremonies in both church and civil locations.

She is resident harpist at Morley Hayes and Weston Park.

"The Celebrated Joseph Haydn in a conversation with Mr Sebastian Erard observed to the latter that most instruments struck the ear only, but the Harp touched the heart."

Helen playing at a weddingBeautiful live music can enhance any wedding ceremony whether you are getting married in church or at a civil venue. Whether it be during the Signing of the Register, Ceremony, Drinks Reception or Wedding Breakfast, harp music creates the perfect ambience for all to enjoy.

The magical 'fairy tale' sound of the harp is capable of transforming a special event, into an elegant, emotional experience. It is for this reason that harpists are often booked to perform at functions such as wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, dinner dances and similar events. The additional benefit of engaging the services of a harpist for such events is that guests can talk without the music being intrusive on the conversation. Most of our harpists have a wide repertoire, ranging from the classical greats, traditional folk, jazz and show tunes through to popular artists such as Elton John, Sting, etc.

She has a wide repertoire of classical and popular music to suit a variety of tastes. If you have a particular request not currently in her repertoire she is happy to learn/arrange the music where possible.
