Weddings & Elopements
Personalized Wedding Music
Do you know exactly what you want for your wedding music? Don't know where to begin? For either situation, I'll work with you to set the mood for your special day. If there is a song you want that I don't already play, I enjoy the artistic challenge of adapting all kinds of music to the harp, and I am committed to finding just the right music for you.
Ceremonies
Whether you're planning a large wedding or an intimate elopement, the harp is as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to — and creates an unforgettable atmosphere that will delight your guests. Ceremony music usually includes a half-hour of music beforehand as guests are arriving, as well as the entrance songs, and a song at the end of the ceremony as you are leaving as a newly married couple. Some couples also elect to have music during the ceremony itself, as part of a unity candle, sand ceremony, or knot-tying ceremony.
Cocktail Hours & Dinner Receptions
At a cocktail hour or dinner reception, the sound of the harp fills the air but doesn't overpower conversation, and creates an elegant yet lively vibe sure to please your guests. I almost always play a mix of my most upbeat pop covers (think Bridgerton-style, but on the harp), and guests always enjoy hearing familiar songs played in the different context of the harp. I offer two options; regular harp (sitting at the instrument) or strolling harp, where I'll use a smaller harp strapped on, and move from table to table, or room to room in larger venues, bringing the music directly to your guests. It's unexpected, interactive, and a lot of fun. For either situation, if you want to turn it up a notch, I can bring my ensemble The Boston HarpBeat.
First Dances & First Looks
Live harp music creates an intimate and uniquely special scene for your first dance or first look!
Elopements
The harp is a natural fit for elopements — one musician, minimal setup, and beautiful music that fills the air without overwhelming an intimate space. It's more affordable than an ensemble, and easily transported to non-traditional locations, from beaches to gardens to courthouses. And there's something about live music that transforms a moment — it adds an element that recorded music simply can't replicate.
Bridal Showers
Live music at a bridal shower isn't as common as it is at a wedding, but having a harpist at your bridal shower is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to elevate your shower (it costs less than a balloon arch!) It's unexpected, creates a warm ambience, and is easily incorporated into any kind of venue – a home, restaurant, or private event space. My bridal shower clients usually love hearing my pop covers, but I can also do a classical or jazzy set if you prefer. I also offer a few fun, interactive harp-based game options, in addition to regular background music. Check out my bridal shower page or feel free to reach out for more information.
If you're interested in booking me for both your bridal shower and wedding, I offer a discount for combined bookings.

How to Book
To get a quote, see my pricing page or contact me for an individual quote. When you’re ready to book, I'll send you a form to fill out and will write up a performance contract containing the event information (date, time, place) and any other important details for your event. I'll also ask for a 30% deposit to lock in the date. Then, we can set up a time to go over music options and create the music playlist for your wedding day.
Not sure you want to book yet? Meet with me to hear the harp, discuss details, and see if it's the right fit for your wedding.
Wondering how the song selection process will work?
You can either:
- Set up a consultation to hear musical selections, discuss details, and decide what you like
- Or choose from my song list and sound samples (complete list available upon request...and I'm always happy to learn new songs if there's something you want that I don't already play!)
