Harp

(Harp home page)

The harp is ideal for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours.  The simple beauty this instrument creates is unsurpassed in elegance.  If you are looking to have the quintessential picture perfect wedding, then have a harpist provide the music. 

Harps are wonderful by themselves, but the addition of Cello and Flute is a truly wonderful combination - listen to one of the sound samples below for an example.  Another popular trio combination is using Harp, Violin and Cello.  Depending on your preferences, a harp can easily play along with one or several additional instruments, like a string quartet.  One of the nice things about using harp and harp trios, is that you do not need an organ or any other instrumentalists to have a beautiful wedding. 

Our harpists have provided music for thousands of weddings and are familiar with the ceremonies of different denominations.  They provide their own music, can accommodate your musical requests and will coordinate with the music director at the venue where you get married. 

Typical Harp Music for Weddings

Cocktail Hours/Receptions

There is a lot of wonderful music for the harp and harp trios that is perfect for receptions.  Many of our clients that book the harp for the wedding ceremony also have the harpist perform romantic classics and Broadway favorites at the cocktail hour.  Best of all, you don't have to plan the music at the reception.  The harpist will select music that really sounds great on harp (or harp trio) and make it a joyous start to your reception.
