The full listing of my repertoire is large, and can be overwhelming when you are trying to choose the music for your wedding! The condensed list below includes the pieces of music most often requested by the couples that hire me as their wedding musician.
Ranging from traditional and classical pieces to jazz standards and current Top 40, this gives you a good idea of the type of music that works well on the harp and fits beautifully for different aspects of your wedding ceremony!
Those that are often used for processionals (entrance music for walking down the aisle), are followed by a (P). Those often used for the recessional (exit music at the conclusion of your ceremony) are followed by an (R). Other pieces listed might be used for mid-ceremony interludes (such as for the unity candle/sand), solos, prelude, family seating, and postlude.

Numerous of our guests also commented on how lovely of a touch the harpist was to our ceremony.”
