About

Everyone loves the harp and Lydia has a wide range of music from classical to pop and country.

Repertoire ranging from classical to pop favorites. I have a wide variety of song choices and if I don’t currently have it, I can probably get sheet music and learn it for you!

Lydia has been a full time harpist for over 20 years playing for weddings, parties, churches, funerals, etc.

Reviews

Lydia was wonderful! She did a great job and was quite flexible.

We decided at the last minute to move the wedding outside, since it was so nice and it turned out wonderfully!

My husband was really not interested in having live music – that evening, he loved every minute and was really enjoying the tunes she chose!

Having Lydia as our harpist at our wedding was a great decision.

She is an amazing musician. Our Guests all commented on how beautiful the music was and how much it added to our ceremony.

We highly recommend her. 🙂

Lydia was always prompt in addressing any questions or concerns I had while planning my wedding ceremony.

She is very accommodating and easy to work with. She plays beautifully and I had many complements on her work from my wedding guest.

5 stars simply doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of how pleased I am after having worked with Lydia Haywood.

I would recommend her to anyone, and hire her again myself should the opportunity arise.

I am a store manager and booked Lydia to play for a reception I hosted. She is amazingly talented and friendly.

Her music was great and everyone loved the atmosphere from her music. I was happy to have her play at my event and would recommend Lydia to everyone looking for a great musician.

I was told by numerous people about how talented she was and how great she made the event sound. It added a very classy touch I don’t believe I could have received from anyone else.

Book her for any event in which you want someone who is very professional, skilled, and would make your event everything it could be.

Lydia was an absolute professional.

We couldn’t imagine or ask for anything more. She did was timely, courteous and informative.

If you’re looking for a harp player. She is the one.

Andrew D.


Lydia was very professional. She added an elegant touch to my son, Matthew and Amber’s wedding.

We had so many of our guest comment on the beautiful music. I would definitely recommend Lydia to a friend.

Molly R.


Lydia was amazing at our wedding, everyone commented on how beautiful the music was and how fitting a harpist was in our particular church setting.

I had met and listened to Lydia play and knew she was perfect for our wedding! I would recommend her for anyone looking for great and music.

Jaymie L.


Lydia did a wonderful job performing at our wedding.

Lydia was so easy to work with, and helped us out with our selection of music. We had a little bit of rain during our wedding, but she kept on playing her beautiful music.

Our venue was at the Bryn Du Mansion in Granville and her performance was simply beautiful, which made our day even more special.

Lydia will make your special day very memorable.

Dru M.


The music I had selected for my wedding fell thru a few days before and as a last minute scramble my now husband came across Lydia.

We listened to some of her music online and were very happy. I called her the day before the event to see if she was available and she was!

Lydia was very professional and made it a lot easier for me. I was busy before the ceremony, but she spoke to all the right people to figure out when and where she needed to be.

The music was very beautiful and she was very professional. All the guests raved about her harp playing and quite a few of them asked for business cards. Lydia had a very reasonable price for the quality of music that she provided.

I will be sure to recommend her to anyone and everyone I know!!

Tracey M.


Lydia played at our annual fundraising banquet.

She’s reliable, conscientious, and a lovely lady. Her gift of music was wonderful in creating a peaceful and beautiful setting for us.

Thank you, Lydia!

Janet K.


Words can’t express how thankful we are to you for your gift of Lydia’s harp playing.

It was absolutely beautiful, and set a very elegant, worshipful tone for our wedding – exactly what we were hoping for.

Thanks your so much for making our day so special.

Pub – Bar

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.

Birthday Party

We booked Lee Alexander as an Elvis impersonator for our mum’s 60th, and he was fantastic! He totally looked and sounded the part, and everyone loved it. He really made the night fun, and he was such a nice man too. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate – thanks so much, Lee!

Tara (02 Dec 2024)

Private Event – Function

Very impressed with the response and will keep you in mind for future events.
