I'm Katie McMahon, a performer based in Mandurah who brings music to life across weddings, corporate events, aged care facilities, and everything in between. My toolkit includes harp, guitar, and vocals spanning genres from Celtic folk to modern pop, vintage classics to party anthems. Whatever your event needs, I adapt.
The best part of what I do? Watching people connect - with each other, with a memory, with a moment they didn't know they needed. Every event has its own energy, and I'm there to tune into it. Sometimes that means getting everyone on their feet. Sometimes it means creating space for quiet reflection. I don't show up with a set list carved in stone - I show up ready to make your event work.
I've been performing since I was 20, and every gig has taught me something about reading a room. The couple who needs their ceremony to feel intimate and sacred. The corporate crowd that needs to loosen up after a long conference day. The aged care residents whose eyes light up when they hear a song from 1952. I pay attention, and I deliver what fits.
[PLACEHOLDER: Insert specific story about a memorable performance moment]
Over the years, I've performed everywhere from beachfront weddings to bustling pubs, elegant corporate functions to community halls. My repertoire covers hundreds of songs across multiple genres, and if you need something specific, I'll learn it.
I've also toured internationally with Riverdance, recorded five albums, and trained classically in both harp and voice - but what matters most is that I show up prepared, professional, and ready to make your event memorable.
When I'm not performing, you'll find me by the water in Mandurah or working with students who are discovering their own musical voices. Music has always been my way of connecting with people, and I'm grateful every day that I get to do this work.
Working with Me
When you reach out, we'll start with a conversation about your event - the vibe you're after, your guests, any specific moments that matter to you. I ask questions because I want to get it right, not because I'm checking boxes.
From there, I'll put together a performance plan that fits. Maybe that's curating a song list together, maybe it's giving you full creative control, maybe it's me reading the room and adapting as we go. However you work best, I'm flexible.
On event day, I show up early, set up without fuss, and deliver exactly what we discussed. I'm watching your guests, feeling the energy, and adjusting if needed - because the goal isn't just playing songs, it's creating the right atmosphere for your event.
After we're done, you'll have guests talking about the music, and I'll have made sure your event felt exactly how you wanted it to feel. That's the deal.
Tell me what you're imagining, and let's create something your guests will actually remember.
