When you get married, you want everything to be beautiful and perfect.

You want to feel like royalty.

Lydia's live harp performance can add the touch of elegance that you want your marriage to have.

Lydia can perform at both your wedding ceremony and at your reception and luncheon.
 

Prelude music is performed as your family and friends arrive, so they can enjoy the lovely ambience of your wedding from the very first.

The processional is the music that will announce the arrival of the bride and her party. If your entourage is particularly large, you might want two songs for the processional.

The first announces the bridal party (bridesmaids, ring bearer, etc.), and the second announces the bride's entrance and accompanies her down the aisle.

More frequently, brides will use only one song for both the bride and her entourage, letting some important moment in the music announce the bride's entry.

In planning your wedding ceremony, be sure to consider the suggestions listed in the "How to hire a harpist" document.

The recessional accompanies the newly married couple as they walk back up the aisle and receive congratulations from their guests.

As with all other music, Lydia can help you select the appropriate music.

Ceremony Music

Let your guests linger in the wonderful atmosphere that will accompany your announcement as "husband and wife."

Like prelude music, postlude helps preserve the elegant atmosphere that you want your wedding to have.

Your guests will appreciate the peaceful luxury of live harp performance at your reception.

The harp produces a pleasing, soothing background which will not drown out your guests' conversations.

The "About Harps" document gives you a detailed description of what a harp is.

A solo harpist can also provide an excellent lead-in to a band or DJ later in the reception.

During these special occasions, depending on how many guests are invited, one could not only have a solo harpist but other accompanying instruments, such as the flute, violin or a cello.

Often, the groom will treat the couple's close friends and family to a formal luncheon or brunch. As your loved ones alternately recall their own weddings and offer you their well wishes, the heavenly sounds of live harp performance can multiply the jovial mood that will accompany your special day.

In the excitement of finding a suitable location and menu for your luncheon, remember to find a musician to complete the moment. As well, other solo instruments will go down well with the guests, hearing the melodious tunes from a flute or a violin, along with the accompanying bass notes of a cello.
