Weddings - It is a special joy for me to play the harp at weddings. A marriage celebration is such a wonderful, sacred ceremony, I’m honored to be part of it. As people are unique, each wedding is unique, and I love customizing the music to the bride and their families. I view my job is to create a joyous atmosphere. Harp music adds just the right touch to weddings. The harp looks so beautiful and the music creates such a good feeling. I have the enthusiasm and experience to create music that fits delightfully into the joy of a wedding atmosphere.
