The ultimate in beautiful music for your wedding--whether large or small, indoors or outdoors, a Harp adds elegance to the most special day of your life. Victoria Hughes is experienced with weddings of all religions, and is happy to consult with you regarding your musical selections.

Prelude Music: One half-hour of music while your guests are assembling, allowing them to enjoy beautiful music before the ceremony begins.

Pre-Processional: Music of your choosing for everyone processing before the bride, including the bridesmaids, flower girls, ring bearers, as well as special music for the parents to be seated to.

Processional: The traditional Bridal March for the bride, or select from one of the many alternate wedding marches, or your favorite song.

Solo: Choose a special song to be played for the lighting of the Unity candle, communion, or during another reflective part of your ceremony.

Recessional: The traditional Wedding March to walk out to, or choose an alternate march or favorite piece.

Postlude: Festive music for your guests while they disassemble, or toast you with champagne.

All ceremonies and receptions can be performed on solo harp, or for larger gatherings, consider the Victorian Duo, a beautiful combination of either harp and flute, or harp and violin. Victoria can also accompany vocalists.

Weddings of different denominations

Victoria Hughes is very familiar with the Roman Catholic liturgy for Wedding and Funeral masses. She performs the full range of traditional Catholic songs, such as Ave Maria, Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Ode to Joy, Panis Angelicus, On Eagle’s Wings, Be Not Afraid, City of God, One Bread One Body, How Beautiful, and many others. The beautiful and very special combination of harp and voice is also available. Performing with a Catholic operatic soprano and cantor, and working from the Catholic music publication called Gather, together they also perform all the responses and acclamations needed for a full mass. She is happy to consult with your priest at any time.

Special Music for other denominations, such as hymns for Protestant services and Hebrew songs for Jewish services are also available.

Music from different cultures can also be performed; for instance, Victoria has performed Celtic music for people of Irish descent or origin, and island music for a Hawaiian bride. Music for a recent Japanese ceremony included a special song for the parent’s processional. At another wedding, a Filipino song was played for the customary veil and cord portion of the ceremony. Requests are, again, always welcomed!

The Victorian Duo

For the ultimate in elegance, one of the most melodious combinations of sounds is that of Harp and Flute. The Victorian Duo can perform at your wedding or special event. This is especially appropriate for larger gatherings or receptions.
