Create a dreamy ambience with a harpist at your wedding day

We asked Rhian Evans Harpist (www.rhianevansharpist.com) to explain the virtues of harp music on a wedding day. This is what she had to say...

Imagine a wedding without music. Impossible, isn’t it? Music is a vital part of your celebration, and the harp creates a dreamy fairytale atmosphere, transforming your ceremony and adding that extra-special wow factor. You’ll also be surprised by how many of your guests have never seen or heard a harp before! It’s probably the most romantic musical instrument for your ceremony, drinks or wedding breakfast – or a combination of all three. I suggest for your ceremony you select songs that mean something to you as a couple, to walk down the aisle, to sign the register and for your exit together. Then, for your drinks and meal, the subtle sound of the harp is the perfect accompaniment as you chat to friends and family. Overall, having music played with passion by a harpist could be one of the highlights of your day. I truly hope your wife says ‘I do’ to having one at your wedding!
