Music for Ceremonies & Events
There is nothing quite like the sound of the harp. Whether playing solo or in combination with other instruments, it has an elegant, lush sound that enhances weddings and special events in a unique, magical way.
It is my goal to fulfill your vision for your event by creating the perfect musical atmosphere, and by providing beautiful, appropriate selections. I offer a very personalized service, including custom arrangements and advance “in-person” consultation, if desired.
Here are some sample selections from the classical repertoire. My experience covers a wide range of styles - many other pieces are available*, including standard wedding choices. Most can be performed either solo or with various combinations of other instruments.

AUDIO SAMPLES noted with **
Some of the favorite classical duos are harp with horn, flute, or violin. Adding cello to the ensemble fills out and enriches the sound in a very complimentary way. For something unusual, an ensemble of multiple harps is very dramatic and heavenly!
I also offer Celtic harp music, with traditional standards for more “folk” type occasions.
My experience includes playing for such celebrities as Mariah Carey, Glen Close, and Whitney Houston, as well as steady engagements at the Regency, The American Stanhope, and the Helmsley Palace.
