Harp By Request

Harp Music for your Wedding

Congratulations on your engagement! I have performed in over 700 weddings in the Philadelphia area and am familiar with most of the popular venues.

Rates

Fees begin at $300. Fees vary according to the time needed, location and how many musicians are performing.  The fee includes set-up time and transporting a concert pedal harp.

Contact Mindy Cutcher for fees and availability.

Ceremonies

 Music is needed for:
  • Prelude (about 20 minutes while guests arrive)
  • Processional
  • Bride's entrance
  • Recessional
  • Postlude (as guests leave)
Music is sometimes needed for:
  • Unity Candle lighting
  • Presentation of flowers to parents or the Blessed Virgin Mary
  • Other parts of the Mass, such as communion, peace or offertory

Outside Ceremonies

 There are special considerations for performing in an outside setting with an expensive stringed instrument. Requirements:
  • Outside temperature cannot be below 65 degrees
  • No precipitation of any kind
  • Level dry ground, preferably a porch or sidewalk
  • No direct sunlight

Cocktail Hours

 Brides frequently keep the event flowing and add harp music for cocktail hour, especially when the ceremony and cocktails are in the same location. Amplification is available. Click here to see the extensive repertoire list.

Instrumental Ensembles

 Harp can also accompany many other instruments. The most popular ensemble is a flute and harp duo. You may also choose from violin and harp; violin, cello and harp; flute, cello and harp; harp with voice or harp with trumpet.
