Did you know that having a harpist perform at your wedding is right in line with current wedding trends? You’ll be a step above the rest by choosing to incorporate a harpist for your big day. Around 15% of couples hire some sort of unique entertainment for their wedding day, such as photo booths and wine tasting set-ups.

That tradition still stands and that music is a big part of any wedding celebration. But if you want to make your wedding extra special, having a harpist is the perfect way to create a more memorable experience for both you and your guests.
According to Wedding Ideas, one of Britain’s largest bridal brands, hiring a harpist was one of 2019’s top wedding entertainment trends. Live music, especially from a harpist, is on the rise. When you work with Leigh to perfect your wedding day music, your guests and loved ones are sure to remember your big day for years to come.
How to Plan Music for a Wedding
2020 Tips
Once you have decided to choose Leigh as your wedding harpist, it is time to get down to the fun part — choosing the right music. Here are some of the top considerations you should keep in mind.
Look Back on Your History with Your Future Spouse
Different genres, artists, or specific songs likely hold significance for you and your future spouse. Think back to the songs you listened to together when you first met. Is there a particular tune that embodies how you felt when you fell in love? What about a song that you two used to play on repeat while together?
Consider the Different Parts of Your Wedding
There is a variety of music to choose for different parts of your wedding. Music for the prelude, the ceremony, and the time after the ceremony can provide a distinctive ambiance, but each should flow from one to the other. A harpist of Leigh’s experience will craft a smooth, cohesive performance for every phase of your day.
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
