Testimonials
Thank you for your amazing harp playing! Our wedding ceremony would not have been complete without such beautiful music! You’re truly the best!”
— Emery & Brian Fitzgerald
“Thank you for helping us make our 50th wedding anniversary a memorable and perfect occasion. Your talent as a harpist is extraordinary. We loved it and it was perfect for the dinner hour. We even noticed that you were able to make the harp sound like a piano. You’ve surely had a symphony orchestra background. Thank you again.”
— Jim and Carol Robinson
“Each day we think of another great moment from our wedding and your harp music added so much. Each memory rising like a bubble of bliss. Thanks for being part of our wedding Dream Team. You are terrific. ”

Have a great day, we did. ”

Fees-Conditions
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and thank you for considering my contribution to one of the most important days of your life!
Here are my fees and conditions :
The FLAT RATE charge for the wedding ceremony is $395.00. This includes playing for half an hour before the start time while guests are arriving and assembling. It also includes an additional five to ten minutes of playing time after the ceremony to accompany the guest’s dispersal.
As is sometimes the case, ceremonies are somewhat delayed. I like to help maintain a relaxed atmosphere by not charging extra in these situations for up to half an hour.
Should you wish me to play during the Cocktail Hour at the same venue, there will be an additional charge of $250.00. A change of location involving the transport of the harp and equipment by vehicle will involve an extra charge. The amount will be negotiable and, naturally, will vary according to the distance and difficulty involved.
