Harpist, Monica Schley

Thank you for your interest in live harp music! I can offer solo harp, duets or trio ensembles. I play styles of Classical, Celtic and Jazz music.

For a wedding ceremony:
Ceremony package is 30min prelude before ceremony + ceremony songs, as well as a bit of postlude after the ceremony (up to 1.5hr total). I also offer Solo Harp Ceremony + 1hr Cocktail music. This includes relocation to another location at the venue as needed (up to 2.5hr). My harp has a custom pickup and I travel with an amplifier as well.

For corporate event:
I can work with your sound engineer / MC sound system team, or I can bring my own equipment for either a large or smaller sound.

For harp therapy:
I bring a lap harp or folk harp to play at the bedside or in an intimate setting.

For funeral / memorial:
I can bring a large or small harp for indoor or gravesite options.
