Allison and Fred were childhood sweethearts that reconnected and celebrated their wedding at the Villa del Palmar Flamingos in Puerto Vallarta. What a beautiful place to gather with family and friends, with the ceremony right at the ocean and the reception steps away!
As guests gathered, I played classical music including “Sheep May Safely Graze” by J.S. Bach and more contemporary favorites, like “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
This was the first “official” performance with my new carbon-fiber harp – an Infinity made by Dave Woodworth at Heartland Harps. I love that it is light, portable, and can play outdoors in any weather! The light gold color is classy and fits in with any wedding decor.
Allison chose Debussy’s “Second Arabesque” as her bridal processional, when she was escorted down the aisle by her son and sister. I played lightly in the background throughout the ceremony, then “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” as the recessional.
The cocktail hour took place at the ceremony site, and I continued to play until guests made their way to dinner in the nearby restaurant. The music the couple chose for this time included “Love on Top,” “A Thousand Years,” “Brown Eyed Girl,” “I’m Yours,” and “Ribbon in the Sky.”
We were also sure to include some classic Bollywood songs, as the parents of the groom were both born in India. It was a nice surprise for them to hear some old favorites at the wedding!
I perform for weddings in Puerto Vallarta and throughout Mexico, and would love to create the perfect soundtrack for your day! Visit my website ~ Puerto Vallarta Harpist for Weddings ~ to get in touch and receive a quote.
