When, where? I am a harpist who lives in Dover Delaware and I play harp for weddings, receptions, wedding rehearsal dinners and other festive occasions. Places I have played in recently include: Wilmington, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach in Delaware, Easton and Ocean City in Maryland, and in Chester County, Pennsylvania. I have been a professional harpist for 16 years and have a wealth of experience and material. I supply my own sound system. I can play at outdoor events where power is not available since my amp is battery powered. I spend June, July and early August in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am not available during that time.

How much? My rate is $250 for first hour and $100 per hour thereafter. For travel beyond a 10 mile radius of Dover, Delaware, I charge $.50 per mile, starting from Dover. Deposit to reserve a date is $50. I do not normally attend rehearsal but if I am asked to, I charge $50 per hour and travel expenses.

Can you play...? I can play special requests if given at least 4 weeks notice but I can't guarantee that every tune you might request will be playable on the Celtic harp. Typically, brides trust me to play music that sounds good on the harp and that cultivates the proper mood for the wedding. In addition to the traditional tunes by Mendelssohn, Clarke, Purcell, and Pachelbel, (samples available--click here) I play music of the late Renaissance period, such as the harp music of Carolan and other pieces for the harp by Scottish, Irish, and English composers of that period.
