Pricing 

Pricing varies according to the length of performance time and travel distance. Please contact me for an individual quote. Wedding ceremonies are usually around $350, and adding the cocktail hour adds around $150 per hour. Additional reception hours are usually $100 per hour.  For ensembles, pricing is roughly the same per musician. 
 

How to Book and What Happens Next: 

You have the option to meet with me before booking to hear the harp, and see if what I offer is the right fit for your wedding. If you'd like to move forward with booking, I'll send you a form to fill out, and from there write up a contract containing event information (time, date, place) and any other relevant information about your event. I also ask for a $100 deposit to lock in the date.  Then whenever you're ready we can go over music options and put together a set list for your event.
 

Other Commonly Asked Questions: 

Is the harp loud enough to be heard at outdoor weddings or crowded cocktail hours?   
Yes!  If needed, I use a sound system, or a battery-powered amplifier for venues without electricity. 

How do I go about choosing my music?  
You can either book a consultation to go over options, or you can browse my song list and let me know what you'd like me to play. Whether you prefer communicating in person, or with virtual chat, or via email or text, we'll talk about your musical taste, and go over options about what songs will work with your wedding vision.  See my wedding page for more information. 

Can you learn new songs? 
Yes! I love arranging anything and everything for the harp. See my song list for songs I've arranged in the past. Most of these are special requests from various wedding couples!  

My wedding is going to take place outside.  Can I still have harp music for my ceremony? 
Yes! I have played for weddings on beaches, gardens, farms, and hay fields.  The only tricky part is rain or mist which can damage the harp.  This is easily solved by a tent or a back-up location. 

My friend wants to sing a song at my wedding ceremony.  Is it possible to have harp music as an accompaniment? 
Yes, in most cases.  The person would need to meet with me beforehand for a rehearsal and to discuss performance details.
