Florida Weddings
LARGE OR SMALL
You may be having an extravagant Florida Wedding Ceremony or a simple affair; in a cathedral, hotel ballroom, or outdoors. It may take place in Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Jupiter. It may be a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony. I recommend that you meet with me for a personal consultation. At that time I assist you as a couple to personalize it with just the right music for the prelude and your Wedding Ceremony Processionals and Recessionals. Whether it is Christian, Jewish, or Interfaith Wedding Ceremony. We would suggest music being played quietly during the Unity Candle or Sand Ceremony. Sometimes couples also like harp music played very quietly while they are saying their wedding vows. If you would like a singer I can arrange that for you.
Solo harp music stands well on its own for a Wedding Ceremony. However, if you have a guest list of 100 or more you may prefer to have either duo harp or an ensemble. The String Trio, made up of harp, violin, and cello is lovely as is the Classical Trio, that is, harp, flute and cello.
You may be concerned that the harp may not be heard. I can provide an amplifier for the harp to be heard for up to 100 guests. Larger than that I suggest you have my harp connected to the DJ’s system for the Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. We do have a smaller one that is also battery powered in case the location is not close to a power outlet.
WEDDING COCKTAIL HOUR
Harp music is perfect for your wedding cocktail hour as well. The music provides an elegant ambiance, yet does not intrude on the conversation. For the wedding cocktail hour and reception, I suggest incorporating a mixture of favorite songs including Broadway, Standards, Current Pop spanning three generations, and Latin or Jewish if appropriate. This is to make it meaningful to the wide range of ages represented. The harp duo or trios are certainly appropriate for the cocktail hour. You may want something a little more jazzy for the cocktail hour; the Jazz Ensemble would be perfect. You may have 3-6 musicians included in this ensemble.
NEED A WEDDING OFFICIANT?
Perhaps you have also been looking for a Minister to perform your Wedding Ceremony. Many times couples who want a sacred ceremony, but do not have a church they are associated with, decide to have Rev. Paul Underhay officiate their Wedding Ceremony, as seen in the video of Danielle and Faramarz. Couples just love him. You may find further information on his website, www.toloveandtocherish.net.
HARP FOR CEREMONY & PIANO FOR COCKTAIL HOUR?
I am a Classically trained pianist as well. So when the Wedding Cocktail Hour is taking place in a hotel foyer with a grand piano I am often asked to perform on the Harp for the Wedding Ceremony and the Piano for the Cocktail Hour.
DESTINATION WEDDING
Destination weddings are very popular in South Florida. You may live here or are flying in just in time for the wedding. I will assist you in ensuring the music is exactly what you have always dreamed of. Solo or duo harp, or as a string trio, the music of the harp is sure to help create an unforgettable experience on your wedding day! So if it is not possible for us to meet for a personal consultation in my studio prior to the wedding I can certainly schedule a Zoom consultation with you.
OTHER WEDDING RELATED EVENTS
So you have your choices all made for your Florida Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. BUT Harp music is often used for the Engagement Party, Afternoon Bridal Shower Tea, Rehearsal Dinner or Meet and Greet, as well as the Post-Wedding Brunch or Send-Off Breakfast. And of course 1st Anniversary celebration.
