Rachel Payne Harpist from Chattanooga, TN

A harp adds a certain elegance and ambiance to a wedding or other special event that few other musical instruments can. Rachel has been working with brides for over 20 years to customize their ceremony music to fit their individual style. Her repertoire stretches from Celtic music to love songs by John Denver - with a few Beatles melodies, Disney classics, and most traditional ceremony songs thrown into the mix as well. If there is a song that is not on her list, she will do what she can to accommodate your requests. She does have references upon request. For a typical wedding, there are at least 2 songs to choose: The bride's processional and the recessional. These should set the mood for your ceremony, whether you're going for traditional or something unique. Also, consider picking out a song for the bride's and groom's moms and grandparents, as well as the bridal party. Some weddings include a special time such as a unity candle or sand ceremony that would be appropriate to have a song played as well!
