Absolute Harp

The feel

Hello & many congratulations to all newly-engaged couples!

With many years of experience in the music profession I love to play my harp in all sorts settings! Whether you like Bach or Bollywood, we can work together to find the perfect music for your special wedding day, anniversary or even marriage proposal!

It’s great to know you only need the one instrument for your civil or church wedding, drinks reception and for background music while you relax over dinner with your loved ones. 

Civil ceremonies:

You can enjoy my harp music throughout your ceremony for: 

Guests arriving, the Bridal Party, Signing the Register and the Exit of the happy couple. 

Church weddings: 

Ideal for the harp, so when your favourite church opens again for weddings, why not make one of your 30 a live harpist?
NB always in accordance with Government guidelines please:

Remember too, if in church, some best-known hymns translate well to the harp, e.g. Amazing Grace, Jerusalem and All Things Bright & Beautiful.

Music, choose from my many styles: 

Classic love songs of Adele, Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, or if you’re a rocker Stairway to Heaven, November Rain, Love of My Life. Its always fun for children to hear Harry Potter & Frozen on the harp!

You can find a list of all my music & some audio samples here http://absoluteharp.com/music/

Many of my songs, both “Western” & “Bollywood” are my own transcriptions for the harp, so your music will be unique! and my fabulous new electro-acoustic harp is 
perfect for intimate groups as well as for those on a larger scale.

Some words from happy couples:

Hearing Debussy’s Arabesque on the harp during the register signing was a special moment for us and made it quite magical. Communication with Meredith beforehand was easy and professional and she was very receptive to our slightly eclectic music choices and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests. I would highly recommend booking Meredith for your next event.  – Risha Bulusu. March 2020, Saxon Mill Pub, Warwickshire

Meredith herself is a straight-forward, accommodating, bubbly and energising personality. She’s a true Pro – in a non-stuffy, ‘experienced’, confidence-inspiring and intuitive sense. She’s also a great Talent that I have no hesitation in recommending – Juan Pemberton. March 2020, Pendrell Hall, Staffordshire

Thank you for your flexibility Saturday whilst at Stanbrook Abbey, and of course a great performance that really set the mood – Levi Bailey, Deputy General Manager at Hand Picked Hotels. March 2020, Worcestershire

None of our guests was expecting a harpist and were really surprised and very complementary of Meredith and her music. We found Meredith to be very helpful, pleasant and accommodating and it was definitely the icing on the cake for our special day. Highly recommend anyone looking for a harpist to use Meredith – Karmell Victorya Jenkins. October 2019. Worcestershire

Meredith was absolutely fantastic – we can’t recommend her highly enough! Good communication up to the day meant we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the perfect ambience and suited the mood of the wedding to a tee. We are so happy we found her, thank you again Meredith! – Chris & Katie Leadbeater. Nov2019. Gloucestershire
