Branka – Harpist

Having a Harpist at your wedding will create a charming and relaxing ambience for your special event. The instrument can be played as background entertainment or as an ‘on stage’ feature. The harp is suitable for small gatherings, large receptions, indoor and outdoors…with the possibility of the instrument moving to various locations during an event if necessary.

The harp will provide a delightful and captivating repertoire to suit any occasion. You will be captivated visually and by the beautiful sound that creates a special and elegant atmosphere.

The following explains where you may need the music during the wedding ceremony:

• Assembly of guests – gentle music is played while your family and friends are arriving and being seated (approx 30 min prior to the ceremony)
• Entrance of the Bride – the Bride often chooses the music she wishes to accompany her down the aisle. “Bridal Chorus” is the most popular, but it could be any other song of your choice (preferably in walking pace)
• Signing of the register – 2 to 3 melodies that are flowing, relaxing and pleasant for guests to listen to while you are signing the register and taking photographs
• Grand Exit – music as the married couple walk back down the aisle at the end of the ceremony – one song that is up beat and celebratory, for example “Wedding March” or any other song of your choice

Any of our professional artistes will be happy to help you choose the music for your special day. You might have specific pieces of music in mind which are favourites or which have a special significance for you, so please do not hesitate to let us know your suggestions.

Contact one of our professional members of staff who will be more than happy to assist.

“Hi Branka,I just wanted to email to say thank you for playing at our wedding. You were absolutely amazing and it made our ceremony so beautiful. I wanted to thank you in person before you left but unfortunately I missed you.
Thank you again and kindest regards, Michelle” Knowsley Hall

“Dear Branka, Thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding at the Yellow Broom. It really helped to make the occasion so special for us and I know everybody there enjoyed it so much. Our only regret is that we didn’t get the chance to talk to you on the day, we both wish so much that we could have had a few minutes to express our thanks and get to know you a little. We have had a lovely honeymoon in Jersey. The whole 10 days have been absolutely idyllic and we want you to know that you played a part in making everything so very special. Many thanks, Joyce and Geoff”

“Hi Branka, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing your harp so beautifully on Saturday at Steve and myself’s wedding. Sorry I didn’t get the chance to say hello and thank you I kept getting stopped by everyone or dragged about by the photographer lol. I have had many compliments about yourself from guests with how beautifully you played.Thanks again, April” Harlaxton Manor

“Hi Branka,Thank you so much for yesterday, apologies for not having a chance to come and say hello. But thanks for an amazing day xxxxxxxx” Lisia & Kevin West Tower

“Hello Branka, Many thanks for your very special contribution to yesterday’s celebrations. Your playing added just the touch we had hoped for and many of the guests who did not have time to thank you themselves have asked me to pass on their congratulations and thanks. Just sorry the afternoon went so quickly and that I was not able to say thanks and good bye before you left. With regards,Tony” Mere Brook House, Thornton Hough
