About The Merry Artist

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been drawn to art and creativity for as long as I can remember. From playing instruments to painting to cooking, I’ve always had some kind of creative project in motion — and I’m happiest when I’m making something.

Over the years, I’ve played several instruments, but I’ve always been especially drawn to the harp. Every time I heard it, I found it beautiful and peaceful and wished I could play it myself. When a friend introduced me to her harp teacher, I finally had the opportunity to begin learning. I quickly started studying wedding repertoire and have now been playing for five years. I love how live harp music adds a soft, meaningful atmosphere to celebrations.

I’ve also been creating cakes for special occasions for the past four years. I enjoy the process of watching a cake come together — from experimenting with flavors to refining the design. At one point, I made cakes every weekend for six months (which still surprises me!). That experience gave me the chance to learn what truly works and discover the flavors and styles I love most.

When I’m not playing harp or baking, I’m the oldest of nine siblings and love spending time with family or taking long walks with friends. Living in Maryland, one of my favorite parts of weddings is getting to visit beautiful venues and helping create meaningful moments in such special spaces.

My Approach

Every event is different, and I approach each one with attention and heart. I love getting to know my clients and creating something that reflects them — whether through music or cake. My hope is that everything I create feels natural and joyful.

Values

Thoughtfulness: Every detail matters, from music to cake design.

Calm & Joy: I create experiences that feel peaceful and uplifting.

Creativity: Each event is unique, and I love crafting something that reflects that.

Connection: I listen, understand, and collaborate with my clients to make your day meaningful.

I care deeply about creating work that feels calm, thoughtful, and well-crafted — because these moments matter.

If you’re planning a wedding or special event, I’d love to be part of it
