“Thank you so much for playing beautiful music to add to our special day. You have an amazing talent.”
The beauty and elegance of the Celtic harp as a solo instrument or paired with the expressiveness of Leanne's clear soprano voice can truly create a unique and magical atmosphere for your special day. Whether it be for a church ceremony or an exchanging of vows in the garden, Leanne will help you to choose the perfect music to enhance your celebration and to reflect your dreams and wishes for your special day. Leanne's beautiful harp is also expertly installed with a K&K pick-up and can be amplified for larger spaces or where background noise is present.
Leanne has a vast and varied repertoire list representing several genres from Classical to Celtic to Popular to help guide you in choosing the perfect music for those key moments within the wedding celebration. These moments include...
Prelude Music - About 20 minutes of beautiful instrumental music to precede the ceremony as guests arrive and are seated to create a joyful and elegant ambience, setting the mood for the arrival of the wedding party.
The Processional - An elegant piece of music to welcome and accompany the bride as she walks down the aisle. Brides may choose to have another selection of music to accompany the Groomsmen and/or Bridesmaids.
The Signing of the Register - A beautiful melody to reflect this poignant moment.
Meditation - A reflective piece of music often sacred in nature. Within a Catholic Mass setting, this music is played during Communion or directly following Communion. For other sacred and civil ceremonies this could also be a time when a traditional or ancient rite is performed such as hand fasting or lighting of the unity candle or another custom unique to the bride and groom.
The Recessional - A lively and celebratory tune to greet and celebrate the newly married couple.
Postlude Music - A variety of music to entertain guests as they mingle and enjoy refreshments before the dinner reception and while photos of the wedding party are being taken.
Leanne also plays and sings for full Catholic Wedding Masses and is knowledgeable about liturgical music and Mass settings.
Rates and Booking Inquires - Artistic fees vary depending on duration of performance and location within the lower mainland. Please call (604) 882-8302 to confer or e-mail Leanne at leannecpage@outlook.com. Leanne will happily meet with you for a free consultation to discuss musical options.

“Leanne is amazing and we are truly glad we booked her for our wedding. We wanted something that would pull our ceremony together, something unique, elegant and serene and Leanne was exactly what we needed. She truly made our ceremony! When I walked in to hear the harp playing, I nearly cried, it was so beautiful and was beyond what I had imagined. Her son Connor even accompanied her on guitar and together they were wonderful! It was everything I imagined and more. I contemplated not having music for the ceremony, but am so happy I did, it made the ceremony! I had so many compliments that day; people were really blown away by Leanne and her son. I would highly recommend them. As I had my pictures done down below on the golf course field, I could hear the harp music drifting out of the room, it was perfect for the hot summer day – it felt like a dream! If you are looking for that something special for your ceremony, book Leanne, her talent is above and beyond!”
