Catherine has been fundamental in helping us create elegant parties and beautiful memories for all of our guests. Her musical ability is outstanding, and her knowledge of different music styles is unsurpassed. Catherine is dependable as well, and has been a pleasure to do business with. She will be truly missed, but we are no less excited for new guests to be able to enjoy Catherine’s music and have their hearts touched.”

“In addition to her sophistication and professional manner, it is obvious that Catherine truly loves what she does. Once Catherine has worked for a client, they always request her ... she enhances our reputation. We also believe her to be the premiere harpist in the Chicago area. Our hope is that Catherine will someday decide to move back, so we can work with her again.”

I've received The Knot's "BEST of WEDDINGS" award for 2010 and 2011! Many thanks to my Orlando wedding couples & families for your fabulous reviews on my services and Harp music: Harpist Catherine Way - HarpStrings, Inc- Florida Wedding Harpist
I love to help brides choose the perfect music for their Ceremonies. I start by providing a Ceremony outline with music suggestions, then we put together just the right music for their ceremony. Classical, traditional selections are timeless: Canon in D, Bridal Chorus, The Wedding March, Ave Maria, Trumpet Voluntary, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Allegro Maestoso (Hornpipe), and Ode to Joy. Also, selections from Vivaldi's Four Seasons are really wonderful!
Over the past few years, brides are choosing a mix of Contemporary & Classical. Some recent & standard Contemporary songs have been: Endless Love, God Bless the Broken Road, Rainbow/Wonderful World, I'm Yours, Marry Me, Marry You, Feather Theme (from Forrest Gump), Fields of Gold, Faithfully and Disney songs are always popular, such as: Can You Feel the Love Tonight and A Whole New World.
I've always been a huge Beatles fan and love when we incorporate Beatles songs, such as: Here Comes the Sun, All You Need is Love, In My Life, and Something (in the way she moves). Earlier this year, one couple selected all Beatles music for both the Prelude and Ceremony. It was very cool!
Harp music is great for the Cocktail Hour, too. Guests can listen to live music (while the DJ or band is setting up for the reception) and they're always amazed by all of the Contemporary music and Standards I play.
Just click on Sound Cloud & you can listen to 30 music samples!
This year I've provided Harp music for many weddings & events throughout Orlando, including: Reunion Resort, Shades of Green at WDW, Cypress Grove Park Estate House, Gaylord Palms Resort, Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes Orlando resort, Sheraton Maitland Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Orlando, Tuscawilla Country Club, Leu Gardens, Timacuan Country Club, Rosen Shingle Creek, Mission Inn, Lake Mary Events Center, Buena Vista Palace, Leu Gardens, Omni Championsgate, Rosalind Club, Rosen Centre, and Victoria & Albert's restaurant at Disney's Grand Floridian resort.
