About

Need the last minute touch to your wedding, corporate event, or party?

Consider the graceful and elegant tones of the celtic harp. Be it background music or the bridal procession for your wedding, the harp is sure to be the perfect addition you are looking for.

Deidre began playing the celtic harp when she was 15 after playing the piano since age 5. She played throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin for plays, festivals, and special events.

Deidre studied pedal harp at the University of Southern California's Thorton School of Music under JoAnn Turovsky. After graduating, she returned to the celtic harp and has played weddings and events all over the greater Los Angeles area.

In 2008, Deidre joined Kerry Records for their Irish Christmas tour of California and again in 2009 for their St. Patrick's Day Hooley. In 2012, she played harp for the show 'Ireland' which featured world champion Irish dancers and musicians.

In addition, Deidre has been featured in both Hallmark and Chevy commercials with her harp and on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She has performed with Mary J. Blige, Barbara Streisand, David Munnelly, Kieran Munnelly, and Kathleen Keane. She has recently moved back to the Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin area and is enjoying playing gigs again in the midwest, where it all started!

For Wedding Events: The angelic sound of the harp adds the perfect touch of elegance to your most special day. Wedding ceremonies include 30 minutes of pre ceremony music, the bridal party processional, the bridal processional, any music during the ceremony (optional), and the recessional music. Wedding ceremonies have a flat rate of $300, but depending on exactly what is needed, prices are negotiable. Wedding cocktail/dinner hours are also the perfect time to add a harp to the mix. For background music at the cocktail/dinner hour(s), the charge is $100/hr. For non wedding events, the charge is also $100/hr.


The harp is beautifully paired with a number of instruments. Please inquire if you would like to add flute, guitar, violin, or accordion to any event!

Deidre is an incredible harpist. I got so many compliments about how beautifully she played. She learned a song that she didn't know (which I walked down to the aisle to), and you would have thought she had played it for years. Loved her!

Deidre Moore's performance was so beautiful for our wedding and was the perfect sound that we had hoped for. She was able to play all the songs that we requested AND even learn some new songs for our wedding. Even though we contracted her to play for a certain amount of time, she was super flexible and really seemed to enjoy playing. She was even super flexible in where we had her play, since it was in a garden, and she did it with no problems at all. It was the perfect touch that added so much class and set the whole ambiance for ceremony. Thanks again Deidre!

Deidre was so easy to work with & is really talented on that harp of hers! We gave her 3 Beatles songs to play during our ceremony & she nailed all of them! We were so happy we choose her. Highly recommended!
