Devon Carpenter, The Classic Harpist Harpist from Jacksonville, IL

I am a professional harpist available throughout the Midwest and internationally for destination weddings. I provide elegant and romantic music for any occasion, from weddings to corporate events. I hold a BA in Music and a Master's degree in History, and have played for over 950 weddings. I have extensive experience with Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Baha'i, and Hindu services, as well as non-religious ceremonies. The music available includes the traditional wedding favorites as well as classical, popular, jazz, sacred, Irish/Celtic, Jewish, Bollywood, Arabic, folk, and holiday selections. You can choose the music I play for you from among the thousands of songs in my repertoire. Amplification is provided as needed - there is never an extra charge. Performing ensembles with multiple harps or with harp and violin, flute, cello, trumpet, steel drums, guitar, marimba, or vocalists are also available. I specialize in customizing music for each event, in collaboration with my clients, to make sure the music perfectly fits your theme, venue, and vision! Please contact me to discuss how harp music fits in your plans and will enhance your event.
