I graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with a BA in Music Performance and was immediately invited to join the orchestra of Scottish Ballet in 1985.
I am already very much in demand for weddings, civil partnerships, Asian weddings and increasingly so for corporate events.
Why not choose to wow your guests with the wonderful music of the harp?
From Bach to Bollywood, I'll tailor my extensive repertoire, including many of my own arrangements to bring that individual touch to your special day.
Wedding:
Meredith was incredibly helpful and maintained regular contact on the lead up to our wedding. She offered excellent support in terms of music choices and proved to be amazingly flexible! I would recommend her without reservation! Emma and Paul, Worcestershire
Meredith's music was breathtaking which helped to make our day perfect. She was friendly and approachable and was happy to chat to our guests without being obtrusive. Her music was modern and recognisable with many compliments from our guests on how talented she was.

Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score is played to utter perfection under the guiding baton of Richard Honner, with heavenly harp playing from Meredith McCracken, while Justine Watts’ violin almost made me cry.
Sarah Scott, The Northern Echo
Scottish Ballet, Swan Lake, Inverness
And,of course, intact is the magic of the original Tchaikovsky score – with its lush romance brought alive by gorgeous strings, heartstring-pulling oboe swan theme, perky four-swans woodwind and the spellbinding harp of Meredith McCracken (she’s featured along with some great background articles in the programme).

Funeral
Meredith is a wonderful harpist, she recently played at my husband's natural burial. She stepped in for me two days before the service. Meredith went out of her way to visit the burial ground the day before so she would be punctual, she sent me a long list of ideas of music choices and was just wonderful! She plays beautifully, the music was wonderful and just made the service special. I would recommend Meredith for any occasion. Thanks Meredith.

Asian Wedding:
Meredith I don't even know where to start. Right from the beginning you were absolutely amazing, from replying to countless emails quickly to how beautifully you played at our wedding. You made everything so easy and were so professional. During our civil ceremony you played all the songs we requested. We had so many compliments about you. Thank you once again!
Prabh & Neil, Hampshire
We would like to thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Our guests were particularly taken by how well you played the Veer Zara piece that we had requested. We really enjoyed your performance and would like to thank you for contributing to making our day so special.
Navjoat and Sangeeta Sahota
Civil Partnership:
Thank you ever so much for the lovely, and greatly complimented, music you performed for our Civil Partnership. You provided exactly what we had hoped for and made our ceremony so memorable.
Neil Rollinson.
Marriage Proposal:
Thanks again for Saturday, it was amazing. Reena is telling everyone about your playing. Thanks also for staying longer than you were supposed to and for learning that song from scratch too. (Hey Shona from Ta Ra Rum Pum).
Shuaib Moulavi.
Celebration:
Thank you so much for helping to make our Golden Wedding celebration a very special occasion. Your music was enjoyed by all our guests, even our younger family members.
Jackie and Denis Bingle.
Corporate:
Thank you so much for an absolute magical evening of the harp, it was just a perfect start to Bobby's Black Tie. All the guest and I were mesmerised by the music. Thank you Meredith for being part of it.
Onam Kumar, on behalf of The India Association, Kensington
On behalf of Rudell the Jewellers, I wanted to thank you very much indeed for the excellent music you so beautifully played at our recent event at Hagley Hall. Your repertoire list was amazing given the Japanese genre we had asked you to explore. Once again, our sincere thanks for helping create an exclusive ambiance.
Lisa Frumenzi-Hill, Events Co-ordinator, Rudell the Jewellers, Worcestershire
...our thanks to Meredith for her professionalism and the wonderful music she provided on Thursday evening. All went well and we really appreciated her presence at our awards event

Meredith is incredible to listen to, I've heard her at several events and it really pays to get a true professional in all aspects, from initial contact, critical advice around things I just hadn't thought of, amazing on the day to the extent that several people commented and absolute value for money. I'd definitely recommend Meredith and know you'd be in safe hands!
