Information needed when hiring a harpist for weddings,
special events, etc:
~ Location of the event:
Harpists will generally not perform in conditions/locations that could potentially
damage their instrument. Please consider this when contacting for events. If an
event is held outdoors, sufficient shade and ground covering must be provided as
direct sun and moist ground (grass and dirt) can damage the harp. There is a $25
per hour increase in fees for outdoor events.
~Date and Time:
Please include the date, time, and length of the event when you are contacting by
email.
~Style of music desired:
Be sure to specify if there is a certain style of music that you prefer for your event.
For a complete list of Tasha's repertoire please see the "repertoire" link. If you do
not specify, the harpist will choose a mixture of her repertoire that seems to fit the
ambiance of the event.

Choosing the music for your wedding ceremony is not
always easy. Here are a few guidelines that may help you
along:
always easy. Here are a few guidelines that may help you
along:
When do you want the music?
There are a few different options for having a harpist provide music at your wedding:
~ Prelude music as guests are arriving and being seated. This provides a nice
ambiance for your guests and something to enjoy as they wait for the ceremony to
begin.
~ Ceremony music. This is sometimes the most difficult decision to make. What
music do you want during the ceremony? Some choose to have a very traditional
wedding ceremony and want the traditional "wedding songs" and other couples want
to have songs that are meaningful to them or that they just find absolutely beautiful.
~ Postlude music after the ceremony as guests leave. This music serves the same
purpose as the prelude music but as the guests are leaving.
~ Cocktail hour. If you are planning to have a cocktail hour after your ceremony,
harp music can often provide the perfect ambiance.
What style of music do you want?
You can choose the style or specific songs that you want by visiting the "repertoire"
list.
Do you want a special song?
If you have any special requests please let the harpist know in sufficient time that she
may find and learn the music. A harpist will generally not accept special requests
(songs not in the repertoire list) made within 2 weeks of the event.
Do you prefer to have solo harp or a chamber ensemble?
Often, couples choose to have a chamber ensemble instead of harp solo. Some
good instrumental combinations including harp are: harp & violin, harp & flute,
harp&cello, etc.
