Wedding Music with Heart: Why I Love Playing the Harp for Tampa Bay Couples

Hi there, and congratulations on your engagement! 💍 I’m so glad you’ve landed here. I’m a professional musician and harpist based in the beautiful Tampa Bay area, and I have the absolute joy of providing live harp music for weddings and special events all over Central Florida.

If you’re planning your dream wedding and looking for ideas that will make your day truly unique and unforgettable, I’d love to share a little inspiration—and tell you why the harp might be the perfect touch you didn’t know you needed.

Why the Harp? There’s something incredibly special about live harp music. It’s elegant, romantic, and deeply personal. Whether I’m playing classical favorites or modern love songs to hip hop, country, or video game songs, the harp has a way of making every note feel intimate and emotional.

Live music sets the tone in a way a playlist just can’t. It creates atmosphere. It brings people into the moment. And it adds a luxurious touch to your ceremony, cocktail hour, or even your private first look.

My Favorite Tampa Bay Wedding Venues to PlayOver the years, I’ve been lucky to perform at some of the most stunning venues across Tampa Bay and Central Florida. Here are just a few of the places where I’ve brought music to life:

• Cross Creek Ranch in Dover – A dreamy rustic venue with oak trees and open skies.
• The Terrace Hotel in Lakeland – Timeless elegance with a historic charm.
• Paradise Springs in Lithia – A hidden gem surrounded by nature (and yes, it feels like paradise!).
• Bella Cosa Lakeside in Lake Wales – Waterfront views and Mediterranean vibes make this venue a favorite.
• The Ringling Museum in Sarasota – Art, architecture, and romance all in one place.
• Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg – Perfect for couples who love culture and sophistication.
• The Oxford Exchange in Tampa – A modern classic with incredible style and atmosphere.
• Sunken Gardens and The Vinoy in St. Pete – Tropical beauty meets timeless luxury.
• The Barn at Crescent Lake – For couples who want that cozy-chic, country elegance.

Each venue brings something special, and I always work closely with couples and planners to tailor the music to the space, the acoustics, and the mood you want to create.

Beautiful Ways to Include the Harp on Your Wedding DayHere are some of my favorite ways couples have used harp music in their weddings:

• Ceremony – Processional, interlude, and recessional songs that reflect your love story.
• Cocktail Hour – Light, romantic background music to keep the vibe classy and warm.
• First Look – A private, emotional serenade just for the two of you.
• Elopements & Micro-Weddings – A luxurious touch to a smaller, more intimate day.

From My Harp to Your Heart

 know how much thought and care goes into planning your wedding. Music should never be an afterthought—it’s part of the emotion and memory of the day. When you choose live harp music, you’re choosing elegance, artistry, and a truly unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
If you’re getting married in Tampa Bay, Lakeland, Sarasota, or anywhere in between, I’d love to be part of your day.
