A harpist brings a distinctive sound and visual presence to weddings and events in Greenville, Piedmont, and throughout Southeast Missouri and the Ozarks. The instrument can fill a space with rich, resonant music while bringing a graceful presence to intimate gatherings, larger celebrations, indoor venues, and outdoor settings throughout the region.
Guests recognize the harp immediately, while its musical range extends far beyond what many people associate with the instrument. Familiar songs, personal selections, and music spanning centuries can all become part of the occasion, performed by a professional musician who responds naturally to the flow of the event.
Harp Music Throughout Your Wedding Ceremony
From the prelude through the recessional, music helps give each part of a wedding ceremony its own character. I play as guests arrive, followed by individually selected music for family seating, the wedding party, the grand entrance, ceremony elements, and the recessional.
During entrances, I follow the procession itself. I adjust each selection in real time, allowing the music to continue naturally for as long as needed and bringing it to a musical conclusion once everyone is in place.
The harp also becomes part of the ceremony setting. Whether the celebration takes place in a church, an event venue, or outdoors among the wooded hills of the Ozarks, guests experience the instrument as both part of the music and part of the scene before them.
Reception Music Your Guests Will Recognize
Harp music can continue into the wedding reception, welcoming guests during cocktails and providing music throughout dinner. The sound creates an inviting atmosphere for conversation, while the presence of a musician adds another dimension to the experience.
Recognizable songs can be especially enjoyable in this setting. Guests may hear a favorite pop song, movie theme, jazz standard, or other familiar piece transformed by the sound of the harp, bringing personality to the reception while complementing the rest of the celebration.
Music from Classical to Contemporary
My repertoire includes thousands of selections, giving you the freedom to choose music that fits your tastes and the occasion you are planning. Special requests are welcome, including songs that are not currently on my repertoire list.
You can choose from:
· Pop & contemporary music
· Classical & traditional wedding selections
· Film, television, & video-game music
· Country favorites
· Celtic, folk, & traditional music
· Broadway & musical theatre
· Jazz standards & the American songbook
· Hymns & sacred music
· Christmas & seasonal music
· International & multicultural selections
Your program can draw from several of these categories, combining longtime favorites with newer songs and selections that have personal significance for you.
Music for Parties, Dinners, & Special Occasions
A professional musician can add warmth and character to gatherings of all sizes, from celebrations at home to larger community and business events. I provide music for corporate and social events including anniversary parties, dinners, holiday celebrations, open houses, fundraisers, business receptions, grand openings, and milestone occasions.
The harp gives guests something distinctive to experience from the moment they enter. Its sound contributes to the atmosphere throughout the event, while the instrument itself makes a strong visual impression within the setting.
Solo Harp & Music with Other Instruments
Solo harp is a complete musical option with the range and versatility to provide music throughout an entire event. A single harp offers a full, resonant sound and can move easily among different musical styles.
For an expanded ensemble, harp can be paired with violin, flute, cello, trumpet, vocalists, or clarinet. Additional instrumentation is available as well, allowing the combination of musicians to be planned around your event.
