WEDDING CEREMONIES:
I am prepared to play part or all of your wedding ceremony. I play primarily as a soloist but can work with other musicians as required. Because of its portability and depth of sound, harp is often a wonderful choice, especially if the venue of your ceremony has no electricity (rose gardens etc.) or no organ or piano available (hotel ballrooms etc.)
I do have some requirements for outdoor playing - the harp cannot be in direct sun on a hot day and cannot be outdoors at all if the temperature is less than 62 degrees farenheit or greater than 90 degrees farenheit. Harps are extremely expensive and are easily damaged by severe cold or heat. Likewise there must be a backup plan for inclement weather as the instrument must not get wet.
Included in the price of all wedding ceremonies is a consultation to select the ceremony music. This consultation can be in person at my home or over speakerphone if a personal meeting is not feasible.
Located on the left side under the menu are some samples of music popularly played at weddings. I also offer many unusual selections unique to me which is why a personal consultation is always optimum.

WEDDING RECEPTIONS AND PARTIES:
I am available to play background music during wedding receptions and private parties. The best times to use harp at a wedding reception is typically during cocktails, dinner, or both. Frequently a client will have me play cocktails and dinner and then turn the evening over to a DJ or band after dinner.
I also play private parties such as anniversaries and birthdays, both in large ballroom type venues and in private homes.
My repertoire for such background playing consists of a broad mix of classical, pop, jazz and celtic. Generally there is something for everyone!
For parties over 50 people I use amplification which I carry with me for such occasions.
Canon In D - J. Pachelbel
Andante - J. Parry
Prelude in C - J.S. Bach
Wedding March - R. Wagner
Trumpet Voluntary - J. Clarke
Jeanne's Rondeau J. Mouret
Aquatint no. 4 - B. Andres
Concerto- G.F. Handel
