What could be more idyllic than an outdoor
wedding in Vermont? Whether in the mountains, by the
lake, on a hill, or in a meadow, many couples choose to be
married under the sky and in the open air. But finding musicians
who will play outdoors can sometimes be a challenge. Wooden
instruments can be damaged by moisture, direct sun, or cool or
hot temperatures. Large instruments can be hard to transport
to out of the way locations, and can be extra risky to expose
to the elements since they're difficult to pack up and move if
the weather should shift.

      
   Flute is an ideal choice for outdoor
weddings. As a metal instrument, it can
withstand most weather conditions. And its
compact size makes it possible to
transport anywhere and move easily if
weather conditions change. The sound of
the flute can carry great distances.
    Many people who love outdoor weddings
also love the sound of harp. But it's often a
challenge to find harpists for outdoor
weddings given the harp’s combination of
extreme delicacy and cumbersome size.
Mariah's instrumental versatility gives us
many options (see harp/flute or harp/violin
duo page). If the weather is great, the
harp can play, but if weather conditions
create a potential challenge that harpists
would tend to avoid, we can substitute our
duo with either violin, or in case of actual
light rain, with solo flute. Or perhaps you
could have the option of flute and violin at a
wedding service and flute and harp at an
indoor or well tented reception following the
service.
 Other instrument
combinations are
also  available for
outdoor  weddings.
