Planning Your Wedding/Event

Maryland concert harpist Astrid Walschot-Stapp has over 15 years experience performing at weddings and special events. Astrid works closely with her clients to select the perfect music and arrange a seamless occasion. In addition to weddings, Astrid performs regularly at corporate and private events, parties, fundraisers, bar and bat mitzvahs, funerals and memorial services, and others. The sound of the solo harp is quite full and does not usually require amplification even in an outdoor setting. As a professional musician, Astrid can adapt to any changing situation seamlessly. If there is an unexpected change in the flow of the wedding ceremony or event no one will ever know.
