Laura Marquino - Harpist Classical and modern harpist

Laura is an award-winning professional harpist, who performs across Europe for concerts, weddings and events.

Hi! My name is Laura, and I am London based harpist. I started playing harp when I was a little kid and never stopped since!

I am an experienced harpist who can provide beautiful music for the wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast or drinks reception, and any other types of events. Each of my performances is tailored to my clients taste so it is unique to them.

The harp is a very versatile instrument. I can perform classical music but I also love doing modern arrangements of pop and rock songs. I can arrange almost any song! I love a wide variety of music and I think that’s what make me most versatile, I can be listening to classical one second, followed by heavy metal, followed by the latest pop hit.

I own all the necessary equipment to amplify my harp if needed. I also play with live looping and electric lever harp with backing tracks.

I have performed in incredible venues in the UK and abroad including:
– The Cadogan Hotel
– The Ritz
– Eltham Palace
– Sofitel St James
– Lanes of London
– Chelsea Old Town Hall
– Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona
– The Cadogan Hall
– Teatro Real, Madrid

I know how stressful planning a wedding can be that's why I want my role to be as stress free as possible. I am flexible and I want my clients to feel they can easily approach me whenever they need, because their occasion matters to me. Whatever type of event you are organizing, drop me a line to discuss the details and how my music can make it extra special.
