What is a picnic wedding?

A picnic wedding is a great way of having an outdoors wedding breakfast that can range from a self-service buffet table with sandwiches cakes and other tasty snacks to having “blanket service” with canapes and posh snacking. It is basically having meals outdoors with blankets on the grass as seating and the table.  Here are a couple of blogs to read to get a better sense of this type of wedding 

This blog has lots of photos to look at and is the perfect way to have an intimate wedding with your family and friends.

How do I include 2 of Harps in my picnic wedding?

Live music is a definite for your picnic wedding and is the ideal form of entertainment for your family and friends.  It makes a huge difference to the atmosphere and really gives a subtle edge of sophistication to your day.  Here are where you can have live music during your day. 

  • Ceremony
    • Seating of the guests – The sisters will usually play for whilst your friends and family are sitting down and waiting for your ceremony to start.  2 of Harps also offer the option of you choosing all the music that your guests listen to.
    • Walking Down the Aisle –2 of Harps will let you choose the piece of music that you will have whilst you are walking down the aisle.  Adel and Karina will learn the piece of music if they don’t already have it in their extensive repertoire.
    • Signing of the register – They will play two pieces of music whilst you are signing the official documents or the celebratory certificate.  This entertains your guests and ensures that there is no awkward silence.  The girls will also play whilst the photos are being taken by your photographer and friends and family.
    • Exit of the ceremony area – 2 of Harps will play an upbeat track to set the vibe for the rest of the day.  Adel and Karina will play until the last guest has left the ceremony area.
  • Picnic Wedding Reception – This is the perfect time to have wedding music, it creates a great atmosphere for your guests whilst they are eating and drinking.  2 of Harps can also amplify their harps and have battery powered speakers that are suitable for outdoor use.  This unique service means that all your guests can enjoy the music no matter how spread out the seating in.
