Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book you for an event?

I enjoy connecting with my clients, and making the process very personable and easy. You can contact me by submitting a form on the Contact page or by emailing me directly at thecoastalharpist@gmail.com. After I get the details of your event, I will send you a Proposal and Contract.

How does payment work?

Upon signing the Contract, a 50% deposit will be due. The remaining 50% of the fee will be paid on the day of the event, or at a time we agree upon in the proposal.

When do you arrive and set up?

I will arrive to the venue 30—45 minutes before the start time of when I am playing. This allows me enough time to set up, tune, and be set to go.

Do you ever play with other musicians?

I have played weddings with a harp/violin duo, harp/singer duo, and harp/flute duo. I will work to make your wedding music exactly what you desire, so don’t hesitate to ask about different instrument possibilities.

Do I need to provide anything for you like sound system, chair, etc? 

Unless your event has very specific needs, I provide everything that I will need including chair, stand, etc.

How much do you charge for wedding & other events? 

Pricing varies and depends on factors like venue, event length, travel distance, etc.

Do you take song requests?

Yes. I have been able to accommodate almost every song request I’ve received.

Do you play for outdoor events?

I do! How could I not, being the Coastal Harpist? I have played (many) events on the beach, on rooftops, in the woods. The possibility of playing outside is completely dependent upon weather and the availability of cover in case it starts to rain. Harps are completely intolerant of being rained upon.
