Thank you for considering harp music for your special day! I have over twenty years of experience providing music for weddings and can help you every step of the way. I have a vast repertoire that includes classical, jazz standards, as well as today’s hits and popular love songs. Do you have a special song that is a must for the big day? Just ask! If it isn’t on my current repertoire list I am always happy to learn something new.
Music for a wedding ceremony typically includes a prelude while guests are being seated, processional, recessional, and a brief postlude while guests are exiting the venue.
