“The harp music during the ceremony was just perfect. There have been many excellent comments from guests, so thank you.”

Sally & Tim Booker

A wedding day is a very special romantic day; it requires special music, thoughtfully chosen and expertly played. Enhance your wedding day with the perfect romantic instrument for this occasion, the harp. Ellen has extensive experience as a wedding harpist.

Having specially chosen music performed live can make an enormous difference to a wedding ceremony, be it a civil or church marriage, as it adds a personal touch. Ellen usually plays for a short period before the ceremony whilst guests are being seated, then for the Arrival of the Bride, the signing of the Register and the final procession of the Bridal party and guests.

Romantic harp music at the drinks reception can create a welcoming atmosphere for arriving guests but also provides a focal point for guests whilst your presence is required elsewhere by photographers. The harp, as well as being the most romantic and beautiful instrument, has a very intimate sound yet can also be heard over a party of one hundred guests. A mixture of musical styles played in the background can add a very special touch to the wedding breakfast.
