Seating of Parents:

- Styles: Classical, love songs, Celtic, sacred, contemplative
- You do not need to choose all of the music for the prelude! It works best to tell me the style(s) of music you prefer, along with any specific requests you have (see below.) I will then select prelude music from my repertoire.
- Song requests: I can include any songs from the lists below. (No limit on the number of requests from these lists.)
- Special requests: If you are interested in a selection not on the lists, let me know! I am often able to accommodate special requests but will need to look for a harp-friendly arrangement before confirming your request. [Up to three special requests are included in normal wedding fee; more than three may be possible for an additional fee.]
- For weddings with a Celtic theme, see this list of Celtic music, which can be used in any part of a wedding ceremony.
- For Jewish weddings, see this list of Jewish music, which can be used in any part of a wedding ceremony.
