As a harpist, I have performed many different types of weddings and unity celebrations. I love that I can now add to my wedding repertoire and help join two people who love each other in such a sacred bond. Thank you for the handfasting materials as the vast majority of ceremonies I have been involved with are not related to a specific church.
