The act
The ceremony is where Janita Billingham's expressive sound could give a Brisbane wedding its first clear musical character. More than a decade of professional experience sits behind music that moves among classical, contemporary and Celtic styles. Janita can tailor both the song choices and her costume to the occasion, giving you room to shape how the performance feels. A harp and guitar duo is also available, with Brisbane jazz guitarist Rory Dollard joining her for another musical texture. This feels right for a couple drawn to the shimmer of harp and the choice between a solo presence and two musicians together.

Good to know
What to expect
Janita Billingham fits the harp to the day rather than playing a fixed set at it. Song choices get worked out with you beforehand, and she'll match her costume to the occasion if that matters for your photos or your theme. Weddings, funerals, corporate events and morning melodies all sit inside what she does, and the tone she gets is bright enough to hold a room without amplification. Ask and she'll perform as a duo instead, harp against guitar, which gives you a fuller sound for a reception or a longer set.
On the day
The harp sets the terms here. It needs shade and can't sit out in extreme weather, so an outdoor spot has to be covered, on ground that's dry and stable underneath. If the only route to the performance area is up stairs, someone from your side needs to be there to help Janita Billingham move the instrument. Amplification is available if the space calls for it, though the harp is resonant enough to fill most rooms on its own.
