Extra Charges
Special song requests (if there is a need to buy and learn the arrangement beforehand) $25.00 per song
NOTE: Please let me know your song requests at least 3 weeks in advance before the actual date of the wedding. This will give me time to order, learn, and polish the piece in time for the day of performance.
(Please click “Audio Recordings” under the Media tab to hear samples of the wedding repertoire I have already prepared. I will provide a full list of wedding music for you to look at during the consultation and am happy to improvise or create my own arrangement of a song if need be. )
Accompanying other instrumentalists (varies according to the situation) $30.00
Outdoor weddings ~ extra fee of $50.00
(Please view My Contract & Policies to learn more about outdoor wedding situations.)
Attending the wedding rehearsal ~ please ask through email or during consultation about attending the rehearsal. If you just need me to play for your rehearsal dinner, charge is by the hourly rate.
Funerals & Memorial Services
$ 250.00 for the entire service.
Cost includes: playing solo, congregational music, or accompanying other instrumentalists; arriving 45 minutes beforehand to set up; prelude music as the guests arrive, and music afterward as everyone leaves.
If you desire harp music only for certain parts of the service, please contact me for individual pricing.
Solo Concerts
A special concert of solo harp music, with a personally compiled list of repertoire that may include classical, jazz, Celtic, or hymns. (Requests can be made and are welcomed! Please see my repertoire list to choose from.) Having a harp at your event can be the perfect musical entertainment that you’re looking for! If you prefer, I can also give a few sentences about the history and style of each piece that I perform, before playing the piece for the audience. I can make my presentation/concert as personal or as formal as you desire it to be.
30 minutes / $130.00
60 minutes / $ 200.00
Please contact me for arranging a program, formal or casual style dress, and other details.
