Events

The right music can transform your special occasion. I am available to play at weddings, parties, and other functions.

What a fantastic musician. Sarah is so accomplished not only in her music but her organisational skills - from the outset we knew we were in safe hands for our wedding. Our guests absolutely loved her. Her accompaniment to the singing was flawless. Thank you Sarah.

Sarah was absolutely superb both in the lead up to and on our wedding day, she was professional, punctual, very open to different music choices and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Sarah, you really made our wedding ceremony extra special.

what can you offer?

I have performed in venues from cathedrals to back gardens, and playing music from Mozart to Metallica. Whatever you need at your event, I will work to make it happen, whether that means making a custom arrangement of your favourite song or blending into your colour palette!

As a versatile musician I am happy to adapt to your needs while also bringing my experience of performance to the table. If you have any questions about hiring me for your event, please get in touch and I will be more than happy to answer them.

how much does it cost?

Fees vary depending on circumstance and requirements. However an average fee might consist of:

  • £90-150 per hour of performance,
    including 1 song arrangement

  • £15 per extra song arrangement

I may also need to request reimbursement for travel within or outside Edinburgh.

Sarah was fantastic at our wedding. I gave her a brief idea as to the kind of music we like and she put together a wonderful playlist that sounded beautiful and really complimented the ceremony.

What requirements do you have?

There is very little that I need in order to play at your event. I am able to stand while playing either flute or cello (although I will need to know ahead of time if this is required for cello). Otherwise, a seat without arms, plus space for a music stand, is all I need.

I do not need any electrical equipment (unless you would specifically like to arrange an amplified performance), but I will require a safe space to store my instrument case.

For performances over an hour and a half, I will also require a short break every so often. This is fully negotiable depending on the details of the event.

 

What happens next?

If you think you’re interested in having a cello or flute at your event, head to the Contact tab and send me a message. We can have a chat about what you require, and I will endeavour to answer any questions you may have, with no obligation to continue with the booking.


Audio samples

To give you an idea of how it sounds, here are some of my own arrangements. If you would like to hear a sample of a particular song before your booking, this might also be possible.
