Lily Press, harpist | Los Angeles | Weddings & events, solo, chamber, orchestral

This beautiful summer has come (and is going!) so quickly and brought with it one of my favorite parts of being a harpist – playing weddings!

While the majority of weddings happen in the summer months, I play harp for a variety of weddings and events year-round in addition to maintaining a performance schedule of recitals, house concerts and chamber projects at various venues throughout New England. Each type of performance brings its own joy, but ever since I played my first wedding (over ten years ago), I’ve loved every aspect of playing for someone’s special day: dressing up, gorgeous venues, seeing the excitement of the family and friends, and being part of honoring a couple’s love for one another.

As part of my work with individual clients, we have a pre-wedding consultation to discuss ceremony music selections and go over all the logistics for the big day. Getting to know these wonderful couples is always a pleasure and each and every time I am honored to be selected to be part of one of the most special days of their lives.

The above photo is one of the venues I had the pleasure of playing at this summer – who could ask for a better workplace?!
