Wedding Harpist

‘Emer Kenny is a virtuoso harpist with a haunting voice, an adventurous sense of composition and a subtle but funky hip-hop sensibility’

Bloomington Independant, Indiana University

Emer Kenny is a genuine, loving, musical dynamo that never seems to compromise herself’

UniverCity Magazine, New York

‘Emer Kenny provides such an alluring mysticism, her mesmeric vocals and dream-like harp playing make it eclectic’

State News, Michigan University

‘Kenny’s voice is breathy and sensual, yet, like Sinead in her early days, she sounds ready to strike like a snake at any moment’

Soma Left Coast Culture

‘Haunting ,gorgeous air filled vocals’

Irish American News

I really enjoy playing at weddings, I feel that good music really makes the ceremony special and memorable. I’m obviously biased, but I genuinely feel that a harp (being somewhat angelic!) creates a beautiful ambience which is perfect for a wedding ceremony.

I’ve played at many weddings, church weddings, civil ceremonies, humanist ceremonies, druid ceremonies and renewal of vows and for every wedding I work with the Bride and Groom to get the music that is perfect for them. I have a few samples of wedding music from my extensive repertoire below and other music samples on the audio samples page.

I also play during drinks receptions, dinners and corporate events.

I regularly play in Slane Castle, Darver Castle and Glenloe Abbey and my recent live work includes the Boyle Arts Festival, Feile Belfast, Flatlake Arts and Literary Festival, CQAF Belfast, The Harp Festival Termonfeckin and the Amnesty International Concert in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any enquiries you may have.

I look forward to meeting you.
Emer.
