Great harpist!
Madeline was amazing at our wedding! With a huge selection from her repertoire, we were confident going with her. Communication was great beforehand and we felt everything was handled professionally. The music sounded beautiful and made our day feel so special - plus the harp is gorgeous! We absolutely recommend Madeline for your event. Thank you so much Madeline!

Fantastic harpist !
We hired Madeline to play at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception last month. She was an incredible addition to the wedding and we’re so glad we made the decision to have her to play me down the aisle and entertain our guests. Her repertoire list has an excellent range of songs for all audiences and she even learnt a new song that we had requested too! Madeline was one of the key talking points of our wedding and all of our guests and other suppliers have sung her praises ever since. Thank you Madeline

Thank you Madeline
Madeline played the harp whilst guests were being seated, for the aisle walk, during the signing of register and the ceremony exit, playing a variety of songs chosen by us which were all very recognisable. Her talents on the harp set a calming and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for our wedding ceremony. We’d like to thank Madeline again for being a part of our special day and for being so professional. We would 100% recommend Madeline and would definitely look to book her for future celebrations.

The most beautiful day we could’ve imagined
We had our wedding at Hampton Castle in July 2025 and it was honestly beautiful in every way. The venue is such a showstopper, and we’ve had endless compliments from the guests about how amazing the castle is! It is such an elegant backdrop, and the different rooms and lawns are perfect for a wedding day. It’s a lot of fun that so many guests can stay overnight too, and the day after breakfast with a walk around the gardens is the perfect way to wrap everything up. We decided to have a fully vegan wedding, and the staff and caterers could not have been more supportive. The menu already has some lovely vegan options, and we were able to work with the caterers on some special requests we had as well. All of the food was delicious. Throughout the planning process, all of the team at the castle were very helpful and responsive. The portal is great for making sure all of the information is in one place, and the planning meetings are so handy too. Special mention to Rob who we had all of our planning meetings with and who was there for our entire wedding, from our arrival on Saturday to when we left on Sunday. Rob is so kind, helpful and most of all competent - every little request we’d mentioned in emails or during the planning meetings was taken care of and the day ran perfectly smoothly thanks to him and the team. We couldn’t be more pleased that we chose Hampton Castle for our wedding and wish we could do it all over again!

The perfect wedding musician
Madeline played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in July 2025. The ceremony music was simply stunning, her rendition of the song we’d chosen was even more beautiful than we’d imagined, and we both had tears as soon as we heard it. Madeline transferred seamlessly over to our outdoor drinks reception and her performance was so elegant. We loved the songs that we heard and had so many compliments from guests too. Madeline was the perfect addition to our wedding day and we’re so glad we booked her!

The most beautiful harpist!
Madeline was one of the best parts of our wedding day, a real dream come true! She played absolutely beautifully and blended into the day so well. She played during the ceremony and drinks reception, it was so magical I cried when I first heard her! Everything leading up to the wedding was so pleasant and professional, she was very patient with us and accommodated last minute changes. Couldn't recommend Madeline more and am so grateful for everything she did to make our day special!

Ruth & Gio's Fairytale Wedding
Madeline was absolutely amazing – having her play the harp at our wedding truly felt like something out of a fairytale. Her music was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony, with so many of our guests commenting on how beautiful it was. We couldn’t have asked for a more talented or professional musician – highly recommended! Grazie mille, Madeline! P.S. Thank you for letting us have a go on your harp – Ruth & Gio xx

Magical Touch to Our Wedding Day
She was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her playing was absolutely beautiful and added such a special atmosphere to the ceremony. Her timing was spot on throughout, and she had a great selection of songs for us to choose from — plus she was happy to include a few of our own picks too, which meant a lot. Her pricing was really competitive, and she was such a lovely, easy person to work with from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something extra special!

What is your most memorable wedding?

They are all so special I can't pick one! Many memorable things happen at weddings, particularly with a harp about! It's always great when someone is moved by my music - whether that's people moved to tears, guests singing along, guests requesting music that's special to them, people dancing to the harp.
