They opted for a harp & piano duet as their ceremony music. The pianist was Joy Morin, and if you are looking for a piano teacher or performer in the Bowling Green area, you should contact her (http://pianostudio.joymorin.com/)!
The prelude was primarily popular pieces, such as "Can't Help Falling in Love," "I Cross My Heart," and "The Wedding Song." With the harp & piano duet, we alternated who played the melody and who played the accompaniment. It was a lot of fun to work with such a talented musician who was able to improvise and really make the music come alive!
Because of where the piano was located, I had to set up the harp almost behind the pulpit. It made it a little hard to see, but the pastor was wonderful about giving us cues!
When she let us know that the mothers were ready to enter, we played Bach's "Prelude in C." The processional music for the bridal party and bride was "Canon in D" by Pachelbel. As the couple lit the unity candle, we played "The Prayer" from Quest for Camelot. The recessional to conclude the ceremony was "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven. We continued the upbeat music with the postlude selections, including "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "You Are My Sunshine."
Whether as a solo harpist or working with other musicians (violin, cello, flute, piano, trumpet, or anything else you can imagine), I love providing music for weddings! Stop by my website, Ohio Wedding Harpist, or call 1-877-HARP-578 to tell me more about your plans and how the harp can fit in with them.
