A Few Notes on Booking
How far in advance should I book?
Most clients book several months in advance, especially for weddings and popular seasonal dates. That said, I’m always happy to check availability for last-minute inquiries when possible.
Do you perform outdoors?
Yes, with appropriate coverage or shade to protect my harp. Outdoor performances may require additional considerations depending on the weather and temperature.
Can I request specific songs?
Absolutely. I offer a wide and varied repertoire and also create custom arrangements when needed. Song requests are discussed as part of the planning process.
Is amplification required?
In most settings, my harp carries naturally and does not require amplification. If a venue prefers sound reinforcement for larger spaces, I can coordinate the placement of a microphone seamlessly.
Do you offer recurring or ongoing performances?
Yes. I’m happy to work with venues, churches, assisted living communities, and other organizations interested in recurring or ongoing harp performances. These arrangements are customized based on schedule and setting.
How does pricing work?
