The lists of songs that I play are always evolving and would be too large to list here. If you are interested in specific songs at your event, let me know! Music can often be adapted for harp with enough notice. I offer complimentary consultations in my harp studio where we can go through your event moment by moment to choose your music. I have many suggestions for you, so you don’t need to have all your music chosen before we speak.

It will depend on if it is a religious wedding, and if so which religion, as they do vary in structure. But for the most part, the general guidelines are

1) The prelude as guests enter and are seated, as ceremony participants are walking around, or as a postlude as people are leaving the ceremony site,

2) as an active part of the worship service, ie. communion, or

3) to fill silences like meditations or candlelightings.

What exact music you chose can vary with each individual church, so be sure to check with your officiant about any rules you need to follow at your particular location.
