Cristyn at Domaine de la Coste, France

wedding day is a very special, romantic day; it requires special music, thoughtfully chosen and expertly planned. Make your special day magical by incorporating the most romantic instrument there is: the harp. It is the perfect choice for a wedding ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast. Having specially chosen music performed live can make an enormous difference to the ambience of a wedding.

Cristyn performs on a beautiful mahogany and maple Lyon & Healy concert grand harp, which is inlaid with gold leaf on the soundboard – a visually commanding presence for your special day.

Your Wedding Ceremony

Whether it be a civil or a church ceremony, the harp can add a gentle, relaxing and romantic atmosphere as your guests are arriving and taking their seats. A processional can then be played for the bride’s entrance, followed by personally chosen music during the signing of the register, and finally the recession of the bridal party. Traditional wedding music sounds fantastic on the harp – however you needn’t necessarily rely on it – Cristyn can adapt almost any special request to the harp, and having your ‘song’ as part of your wedding ceremony can really personalise the day.

Your Drinks Reception

Romantic harp music at your drinks reception can create a very welcoming atmosphere for arriving guests. It also provides a focal point for your guests whilst your presence may be required elswhere by photographers.

Your Wedding Breakfast

The harp, as well as being visually stunning and romantic, has an extremely intimate sound. Neverthless it’s versatility lies in the fact that it can be heard clearly over a party of hundreds of guests. It is also an extremely adaptable instrument, which can be transported to even the remotest and most unusual of venues, and will fit where a group of instruments would not have room. A mixture of musical styles played in the background can add a very special touch to the wedding breakfast.

Cristyn’s full and varied repertoire includes music from all genres: well-known classics, jazz standards, musicals, film soundtracks, and romantic pop songs. A list of repertoire is available on request, and should you not find the song you had in mind please ask, as Cristyn will only be too happy to endeavour to find it for you.

Please contact Cristyn for availability. Early booking is recommended.
