Err, me.

We marry in May, its been planned for in excess of a year and we are being all pretentious with a harpist etc.

Can't wait.

Amazon.com is a good place to look for samples.

Congrats.

[I have a horrible feeling that it's not the done thing to say congrats in advance - if so then I take it back.

Well done both of you.

You can be more original than Vivaldi: think telephone hold music. How about something from The Marriage of Figaro? (Stand by for a host of witty/rude suggestions)

Hey we are up for suggestions, this lot just came from the harpist.

It can't be religeous though.

I did a wedding where the processional was to the wedding march from "The Marriage of Figaro." Quite lovely. I still like the Mendelsohn, but it's abit cliched by now. All the best and much happines.

Random Thoughts ....

Is the harpist playing things or is there an organ. A single harpist limits things. Why not ask him/her to play the stuff he/she suggests and see if you like it.

But enjoy .. have a good wedding day.

I'm presuming the harpist is for background music during the reception? The choices are all safe, popular works that will add the required touch of class to the proceedings and not scare the children or animals. I think you can add a touch of your own musical tastes though - music is important to you right? I bet some Zappa sneaked in there would sound great! Hopefully your harpist will relish the challenge and appreciate the chance to do something a little different.
