Bollywood Harpist
Elinor loves performing Bollywood and Asian music. Elevate the elegance and charm of your wedding or special event by having Elinor perform on her stunning concert harp.
Whether you're welcoming guests, creating a magical ambiance during the ceremony, or bringing a unique touch to your afternoon or evening reception, Bollywood harp music offers a beautiful and unforgettable addition to your celebration.
For your event, I can perform in a long occasion dress, or traditional Asian attire. Let me know which you would prefer and which colours would match your event.
I bring one smaller amplifier for every booking. This is loud enough for events with up to 150 guests. If you are hiring a DJ or sound engineer, it works best if I can plug into their sound desk, and make use of their larger and more spread out amplifiers. This is particularly beneficial for main hall performances.

Booking Process

Thank you for playing at my daughter's wedding. We all thought you were absolutely superb - we had amazing comments from everyone about how fantastic you were and even the hallmark staff commented how wonderful it was to listen to you. You really did us proud and it made the day. My mum and dad were so impressed and it made my daughters wedding special. Fantastic repertoire.
Having the harp music for our ceremony and then playing in the background during the drinks reception made such a perfect atmosphere for our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect start to our special day and we are very grateful to you for your fantastic playing, including a couple of requests! Everyone we have spoken to since the wedding has commented what a wonderful addition to our day having you there was; we are so pleased that you were available for our day and helped make it so special.
Elinor brought something truly magical to our wedding. The music was absolutely wonderful! My husband was blown away by her version of Avril 14th by Aphex Twin and I was beaming when I signed the register, partly because Elinor's rendition of Concerning Hobbits delighted everyone in the congregation (me most of all!). An amazing harpist and a very friendly person to talk to!
Cannot recommend Elinor enough! Played the most amazing set for our wedding! All our guests were commenting on how great she (and the music) were. She even went out of her way to learn new music as it was something we wanted as part of our ceremony.
I cannot put into words how amazing and talented you are, Elinor! Thank you so much for playing at my wedding. All of the guests couldn't stop talking about how great you were and how your playing just elevated the mood and added to the already very emotional ceremony! Your rendition of Clair de lune was perfect... Anyone who books you is so lucky and I feel so happy to have had to play on the day, truly worth every single penny and more!
Elinor was simply amazing and the music was everything I wished for. My only complaint was that as the bride I didn't get to hear more of it and I truly think I missed out! Very jealous that my husband and guests who got to listen to her play as the parts I did hear were simply amazing.
