LA Wedding Harpist
Agoura Hills Harpist
I had so much fun playing harp at a secluded and gorgeous venue in Agoura Hills yesterday. I love living nearby and being an LA Wedding harpist! Tucked away in one of the numerous hidden valleys found within the Santa Monica mountains is Lobo Castle. It’s an intimate venue well known for its “foodie” vibe. Denise, the chef, has insisted on exceptional and creative food choices for each and every wedding and event.
The view from the balcony was breath-taking, and the oceanic breeze from Malibu to the south was refreshing. I ended up playing on the balcony overlooking the ceremony. This was a bit challenging due to the fact that I was relying upon the wedding coordinator for all of my cues. Fortunately, I was working with a pro. Pauline did a great job cuing me every step of the way. whew! Everything went without a hitch. It’s amazing how much coordination goes into a wedding, but when working with pros, they make it look effortless.

Harp for Cocktail Hour
I often play the cocktail hour as well. Here I get to let my hair down, so to speak, and do what I love to do… play awesome standards in creative ways. Sometimes I’ll bring my looper pedal or play with background rhythms. I also like to mess around with tracks as well should the bride and groom want something fuller than a solo instrument.
Cocktail Hour:
Bubbly
Can’t Help Falling in Love with You
Fly Me to the Moon
Lucky
From this Moment
My Heart will Go On
Over the Rainbow
Stairway to Heaven
Unchained Melody
The Way You Look Tonight
Young and Beautiful
Love Me Tender
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Let It Be
