Weddings




Call for fee
quotes.

Ceremony:The typical wedding ceremony may include a
30 minute prelude (background music as guests arrive),
processionals (bridal marches), interludes, recessional
(exit march) and a short postlude (background music as
guests leave). Music is generally styled towards classical
or religious, depending on the preferences of the client.

Reception:Background music can be provided for
dinner or cocktails on an hourly basis with a short break
at the top of the hour. Music style is typically more
contempoary/pop, or old standard, again, depending on
the requests of the client.

Audition: If you are unsure whether you want to have a
harp at your wedding, you are invited to call and
schedule a private audition with Carol. This is a meeting
in which she will discuss various options with you in
regards to using a harp in a wedding ceremony and
answer any questions you might have. And of course she
will play plenty of music for you so you can get an idea
of what you would like. This meeting is free and no
obligation is necessary. If a physical meeting is not
possible, a demo CD is available to be sent to you.

You may be as involved as you like in the choosing of the music in your wedding ceremony. After
consulting with you, Carol would be happy to make some suggestions and present you with a complete
program plan. Or, if you prefer, you can make all the selections yourself. MP3 samples will soon be
