Will you help me pick out my wedding music?
Absolutely. Part of the fun of working with my clients is coming up with a program that perfectly complements their wedding. My repertoire includes a wide variety of styles, from the most traditional wedding marches to other baroque and classical pieces, contemporary love songs, jazz ballads, celtic & folk music, and even R&B. One of my specialties is arranging songs for harp and other instruments, so I am happy to take special requests. All of my clients receive personalized playlists with recommended songs in their chosen styles.
