Your Guests’ Arrival

As your guests arrive at your wedding venue, there’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of harp music lilting in the background.  Like many other couples, you could choose to keep the harps a secret until the day, as we make a lovely surprise for family and friends and we really help to set the tone.

Your Ceremony – Virtual Gallery Here

Your wedding ceremony is made up of several different elements. Live harp music is a wonderful way of tying all of these elements together.

As your guests are seated in the ceremony area, (outside or inside), a selection of handpicked music by you and your partner is the perfect way to create a relaxing atmosphere before you walk down the aisle to say ‘I do’. For an elegant, yet modern feel, 2 of Harps recommend a mix of contemporary classical music by composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yiruma and Yanni. 

Part one, arrival – As you walk down the aisle, your favourite song played on two harps sounds truly magical. There are many venues which offer the most stunning acoustics, perfect for the mellow tone of the harp. 2 of Harps believe that the most wonderful aisle music, is a song or piece of music chosen by you both and one you will both cherish forever.  

Part two – Whilst you are signing the register, you and your partner will need to choose two or three songs. It’s a lovely way to entertain your guests whilst you sign the legal aspect of the your wedding and your photographer and guests watch on and photograph you.

Part three, recessional – Music for walking back down the aisle with your loved one, is just as important as your arrival song. 2 of Harps recommend an upbeat and celebratory track. Often couples choose something really fun, and a song that their guests will recognise. Something to get those toes tapping and one that inevitably brings a smile to everyone’s faces.

Harps at Your Wedding – Virtual Gallery Here

Our small Mark Norris harps capture the elegance and traditional feel of the small ‘lever harp’ or ‘Clarsach’, but are specially customised and designed for that modern touch.  The quality of the instrument cannot be equaled, with a carbon core, the overall sound of the harp is also enhanced.

We love that our harps are also electro-acoustic, meaning they can be plugged into any amplifier, mixer or PA system without losing the natural, resonant sound of the harp.

These harps are ideal for intimate events, outdoors (because they are so transportable and versatile) and at large scale events when amplified.
