Pricing 

How Much Does it Cost?

Pricing varies according to the length of performance time and travel distance. Please contact me for an individual quote. Wedding ceremonies or the cocktail hour on its own are usually around $500.  If you'd like both the ceremony and cocktail hour together, it would add an additional $250.  For ensembles, pricing is roughly the same per musician. 

The rates for corporate events, bridal showers, baby showers, and other occasions are in a similar range, but vary based on performance length and whether you're booking solo harp or an ensemble. Pricing may also be lower for off-peak times, such as morning events. Please get in touch with more details, and I will send you a personalized quote! 

Additionally, I offer a 15% discount for combined bookings, such as a bridal shower + wedding; or a rehearsal dinner + ceremony.
 

How to Book and What Happens Next: 

You're welcome to meet with me before booking to hear the harp and see if what I offer is the right fit for your wedding or event. If you'd like to move forward, I'll send you a short form to fill out, and then prepare a simple contract outlining everything (time, date, place, and any other relevant information). For weddings and most private events, I typically ask for a 30% deposit to lock in the date.  Then whenever you're ready, we can go over music options and put together a personalized music list for your event.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is harp music loud enough to be heard at outdoor weddings or noisy cocktail hours? 

Yes! I often play for events with more than 200 guests and I've even played for events with over 2000 attendees. The harp's full, round tone naturally fills a room without overpowering conversation. For larger gatherings I typically use a sound system, or a battery-powered speaker to help the sound carry. 

How far in advance should we book a harpist for our wedding? 

The earlier you contact me, the better! I play over 250 events every year, and many couples tend to book me more than a year in advance. Saturday afternoon and evening slots tend to get booked up the earliest, while weekday weddings and elopements often have more availability. On the other hand, depending on availability, some couples have been able to book as close as three weeks before the wedding, so if your date is coming up soon, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Can you play modern songs on the harp? Can you play songs like in Bridgerton?

Yes! I've been arranging pop songs for the harp for over fifteen years, and I've always enjoyed stretching the boundaries of what the harp can do. One of my couples even asked me to play C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang Clan--it was the song that was playing when they met, so it was important to their love story, and I played it for their ceremony entrance song. I've arranged hundreds of songs for the harp, from unexpected nuggets like Iron Maiden and Mac Miller, to classics and contemporary favorites like the Beatles, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and so much more. You can check out other songs people have asked me to play on my song list page. 

Can you learn songs that aren't already in your repertoire? 

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 events from wedding couples! There's usually a small fee to help with the cost sheet music, and I typically ask for special requests to be submitted within a month of booking, unless your wedding is more than a year away. This helps prevent a pileup of song requests coming in from multiple events all at once, and gives me plenty of lead time to ensure I do each song justice. 

What is the process for choosing music for my wedding ceremony? 

After booking, I'll send you a guide to the musical parts of the ceremony, including how many songs to choose and where they fit. You can then either book a consultation to talk over song options and discuss your wedding vision, or you can use the guide to browse my song list and use the included submission sheet to submit your song choices. If you're not sure what you want, I'm also happy to make recommendations or choose your songs for you. See my wedding page for more information, or check out popular entrance & exit songs for inspo.

My wedding is going to take place outside. Can I still have harp music for an outdoor ceremony? 

Yes! I have played for wedding ceremonies 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 rain back-up plan. I bring my own harp tent if needed, so outdoor venues are never a problem. 

My friend wants to sing a song at my wedding ceremony. Is it possible to have harp music as an accompaniment? 

Yes! The singer would simply need to meet with me beforehand to rehearse and discuss performance details.
