Vancouver Musician for Hire

October 31, 2013

One of the great perks of the new and updated website is that people get the chance to see what I do and what I am all about.  I have had many people in my life tell me that my personality has come through on the website. I have also had many people whom I have never met say that the website has an inviting feel and that they felt like they got to know me just from reading the pages.

Finding my webpage is actually what brought me and one of my recent clients, Rodrozen Designs together. They recently had a breakfast event where people in their industry were invited into their store; I played and sang as the guests mingled.  If you need any kind of design or renovation for your home, office and beyond, these are your guys!  They have beautiful art work as well.

I absolutely love performing in this setting. I get to share my singing and the beautiful music of the harp, all while playing a diverse set of music and meeting many new people . I am doing what I love and am so happy that my website is helping to spread the word all around Vancouver! To keep it accessible for everyone I try to incorporate: standards, some pop stuff, a little classical and even some of my own songs.  People are always surprised by the versatility of my music and the many places in which I play: events, fundraisers, parties and beyond.  They are often taken aback by the fact that I am not a stuffy musician but I bring humour and fun to my gigs.

The wonderful photographer for these shots was Mark Whitehead from gettheshot.  He has some amazing photos!

If you know of someone or a company having an event, this kind of music would definitely add that “je ne sais quoi” feel as harp music fills the air! Need a musician for hire?- contact me!

Vancouver Wedding Music & Harp

August 28, 2013

Once upon a time, there was an eleven year old little girl who played her harp at her Aunt and Uncle’s wedding. She then got asked to play at another wedding, then another and soon she found that she was playing at weddings every weekend and she loved it.

Fast-forward 15 years and that little girl is all grown up and is still enjoying playing the harp at beautiful Vancouver weddings.

Here are pictures by the lovely Denise Lin at a recent Vancouver wedding:

Vancouver Wedding Tips:

 

1. Outdoor weddings: Outdoor weddings are beautiful but one must have a Plan B in case of rain.  I will share with you a secret: In all the years of playing at weddings, I have only played at ONE wedding where we got rained out. Maybe I am a bride’s lucky charm! 😉

2.  The dress:  When a bride-to-be tries on her dress, she should also pause for one moment and figure out if she can comfortably move in it.  If there is one day where a girl should be free to throw her arms in the air, jump up in excitement, or wipe a tear from her eye, this is it! 

3. Wedding Planner:  The wedding is about the couple but the couple would not be the individuals they are if it were not for the love and support of family and friends.  If there are enough details, do everyone a favor and get professional help the day of so everyone can relax and enjoy.

4. Hire a harpist!: There are very few instruments that spell “romance” as much as the harp.  Treat yourself and your guests to beautiful, live music that will create that unforgettable touch on the day of your dreams.
