Whether it be playing for your Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast or the 'Whole Day' option, Fiona prides herself on providing a personal and friendly service. (Amplification is also available with her Harp, which then gives the Harp an extra boost of musical power over any noise - this is particularly good for over 120 guests!) So - you've chosen the date and venue, what could be more atmospheric and romantic than having a Harpist to entertain you and your guests? A harp provides a fantastic romantic atmosphere and also makes a great focal point as well amongst guests. Once booked for an event, Fiona suggests to then have a chat about any musical preferences that the client may have, or she can suggest items to listen to. Classic FM and borrowing CDs from your local library are a good cost effective idea, as buying wedding CDs can be expensive and not all pieces are suitable to play on the Harp! She offers Skype consultations and also invites clients to hear her her play at her house (by appointment only). Current trends seem to be: 1,000 Years – Christina Perri All Of Me – John Legend Make You Feel My Love – Dylan/ Adele Bella’s Lullaby – Twilight Saga Sweet Child of Mine – Guns ‘n’ Roses Glasgow Love Theme – Armstrong (Love Actually) More traditional trends seem to be: Canon in D – Pachelbel Trumpet Voluntary/ Arrival of the Queen of Sheba – Handel Clair de Lune – Debussy Pavane – Faure On Fiona’s website, you will find a plethora of information, including video clips, sound bytes, Hotels that use her as a preferred supplier, reviews from Clients an enquiry form and much more – she’s more than happy to help. www.Harpist.uk.com (all tel. numbers on there too) Twitter 'handle': @HarpSussex Facebook page: 'The Harpist'
