| Wedding Information |
| Wedding Ceremony Music Traditional Wedding Ceremonies include the following harp music: Prelude music (usually about 15-20 minutes of background music prior to the wedding ceremony while your guests are being seated) Bridal Party Processional Bride's Processional Recessional Postlude music (about 10-15 minutes of background after the wedding ceremony) Other Musical Options during a Wedding Ceremony: Lighting of the Unity Candle Rose Ceremony/Greeting the Parents Sign of Peace Offertory Prayer to the Holy Family Communion I can provide you with appropriate harp music for all of the above times in your wedding ceremony. A private consultation with the bride is included in the price of all wedding ceremony packages to personally select the harp music for your special day and to insure that all details of your wedding ceremony are exactly how you wish them to be. I can accommodate almost every special request. While most traditional wedding music sounds lovely on the harp, there is also a large amount of music specifically written for harp that is appropriate for wedding ceremonies and events. Sample Wedding Ceremony Music |

| A wide variety of music can be played on the harp. It is a unique change from the standard organ or string quartet. Amplification by "In house" systems or my own portable amplifier is available if necessary with no extra charge. Please visit my Repertoire page for a sampling of the many selections I perform regularly on the harp. If you have a special request, please let me know and I will see if I can accommodate it. I look forward to making your wedding day a beautiful, elegant and unforgettable event! |
| Non-Ceremony Harp Music |
| The music you choose for your wedding ceremony is a direct reflection of your personal style and taste. It will set the scene, create the atmosphere, and highlight the joy and solemnity of the day. The harp is associated with beauty, love, health and happiness. Instrument of kings and angels, it is a perfect choice for your important day. |
| The harp's exquisite sound can range from ethereal and delicate to festive and triumphant, making it flexible enough to enhance every aspect of a wedding ceremony. Whether you plan on having a traditional wedding ceremony in a religious setting or an intimate service in a private home or non-traditional setting, the harp is an elegant and sophisticated option. |
