The enchanting sound of the harp strummed gently conjures up visions of ethereal beauty. It’s the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding ceremony.

Jennie’s quick wedding planning tip No 7: Use a harpist to enhance the atmosphere at your wedding ceremony.

From folk tunes, through light classics to popular melodies

If you’re planning an intimate wedding celebration with just a few close friends and family, a tinkling harp provides elegant ambience without being intrusive. The sight of the beautifully curved sweeping lines of the instrument itself helps to set the scene even before the harpist plucks the strings and the music begins.

Most harpists are comfortable with a wide-ranging repertoire that encompasses traditional melody, the classical repertoire and arrangements of well-known popular tunes. However, the choice of music to be played at your particular wedding ceremony remains very much with you.

If you arrange for a harpist to perform at your wedding, you will usually be offered a consultation at the harpist’s home in ample time beforehand. The harpist will play a selection of pieces for you, in order to help you make your personal choice of music for your wedding ceremony.
