Brisbane Wedding Harpist B

Based in Brisbane

About this act

Guests get played in before you arrive, in whatever style you've picked. Romantic love songs, classical wedding music, Irish and Celtic harp, medieval pieces, and a bit of Metallica if the groomsmen need something to talk about. A ceremony booking covers 15 minutes of music beforehand, the processional, music during the signing of the register, and the recessional. Canapes and pre-dinner drinks are a popular add-on, usually an hour, and the harp works just as well as background music at a sit-down reception. If a song you want isn't on the list, an arrangement can often be written for it, given enough notice and a tune that suits the instrument.
