Vanessa

The act

The wedding feels graceful and a little unexpected when Vanessa's electric Big Blue harp takes on music from Bach, Metallica and Ed Sheeran. That span from classical writing to popular songs gives you room to make different parts of the day sound distinct. Vanessa can perform alone on harp or join a violinist for a duo, changing the musical scale without leaving the instrument behind. Based in Melbourne, she brings a wide variety of music to this unusual electric instrument. A lovely direction for couples who want the harp to reach beyond a purely classical ceremony.

Good to know

What to expect

Vanessa can arrive on her own with the harp, or bring a violinist along and turn it into a duo. Solo suits the parts of a day that want quiet underneath them. The duo puts more in the air when you need it. Repertoire is genuinely broad, from classical pieces through to songs people know from the radio, and there are several song lists to pick from so you're not guessing at what she'll play. Tell her the moment and she'll match it.

On the day

Usually nothing at all. The harp carries itself in a small room and Vanessa doesn't need a stage, a riser or anything built. The one exception is amplification. If the space is large, or outdoors, or you want the music carried further than a few metres, that needs sorting out beforehand. Mention it when you enquire and she'll tell you what the room calls for.
