The top 10 harp songs requested for weddings
So you’re planning the biggest day of your life, wedding venue — tick, caterer — tick, dress — tick, but then you realise you’ve got to make a choice on what kind of live music you will have and the choice is daunting as there are so many different setups, genres and styles to choose from.
Whilst lots of couples planning for a wedding might consider booking a band for their to get the party started later, live harp can truly bring out the emotion from your guests at any marriage ceremony and can provide a beautiful backing track to a drinks ceremony or wedding breakfast.
I have played harp at hundreds (if not thousands) of weddings and events in London and across the UK and Europe and whilst I can arrange any track requested to be played on the harp for a wedding from the Foo Fighters to Louis Armstrong, many couples often ask the question — what are the top tracks that are most requested and that you usually play?
Well here’s the list:
- Pachelbel — Canon (ceremony)
- Mendelssohn — The Bridal March (ceremony)
- Nat King Cole — L.O.V.E. (drinks reception)
- Bruno Mars — Just the way you are (ceremony)
- Stanley Myers — Cavatina (ceremony)
- Handel — The arrival of Queen Sheeba (ceremony)
- Christina Perry — A thousand years (drinks reception)
- Stevie Wonder — I just called to say I love you (drinks reception)
- Oasis — Wonderwall (drinks reception)
- Claude Debussy — Claire de Lune (drinks reception)
