Music is the soundtrack to your wedding: on this day of all days music can express those emotions which simply can not be expressed with words.
The harp can provide music for wedding guests while they await the arrival of the bridal party, making them feel special and welcome, providing a topic for conversation and putting them at ease.
Owen's vast repertoire ensures every element of your ceremony, from the processional to the signing of the register and finally the recessional, will be memorable and appropriate.
Owen will work with you to find music that you will love, or he can make recommendations for you. Depending on the ceremony, music may be added for candle lighting, communion and the signing of the register.
Harp music may be prefered during the reception, either for pre-dinner drinks, or while your guests dine.
Please contact Owen for more information.

After playing at a wedding ceremony I was approached by a man who thanked me for taking him on a journey through the music I played on the harp. With tears in his eyes he told me how it brought back memories of his youth and the time he fell in love with a beautiful girl, who later became his wife and mother of their three children. Even though he had never heard a harp being played before, the music evoked strong and beautiful feelings. This reinforces my belief that regardless of the venue or occasion, a marriage in a garden or a symphony in a concert hall, the communication between hearts is the very essence of music. Music transcends language and reaches our inner most core. Nothing makes me happier than bringing someone on a magical journey with my harp - Owen
