Do you remember the processional music that was played for the last few weddings that you attended? I do not. The last few weddings that I attended, I was walking down the aisle as a bridesmaid and I still do not remember what was playing. Nonetheless, music is important to us, and our journey to find a ceremony musician was not an easy one. We knew that we wanted someone to perform live, so I began the search for talented musicians in the Aspen area. My search turned up some great musicians, none of whom were in our budget. After rigorous hours of searching, Mr. Balloons and I decided it might be easier to first figure out what kind of musician we even wanted. I’ve always thought that pianos were nice at weddings, but hauling one to the top of a mountain might be a bit of a challenge, subsequently resulting in plenty more $$$ if anyone were even up to the challenge.
There were a few guitar players that we came across. Nice, but not quite what we were looking for…
But at last, we finally found the winner. The wonderful, beautiful harp. So romantic, so ethereal, so perfect. Oh how I swooned…until I saw the price tag.

After I got the first three quotes, I was devastated. It was SO expensive for less than an hour of playing! I had my heart set though, so I kept searching. Finally we found one that was close to our price range, and we booked immediately. According to the wedding coordinator at our venue, the harp even fits inside the gondola! Hive, I can’t even describe how excited I am about our ceremony music. It gives me the butterflies when I envision us walking down the aisle to the beautiful sounds coming from those lovely strings.
