Weddings

You want your wedding to be special and memorable! Live music can help set the perfect mood and add magic and elegance to the occasion. The hammered dulcimer is a beautiful instrument that delights the eyes and ears. It can be used solo for smaller gatherings or in ensemble. It blends beautifully with harpguitar and accordion (which sounds much like a small organ - perfect for outdoor settings!)

Choosing a musical duo is the post popular option for its affordability and variety. As a duo, I often play with my husband Paul Oorts. Between us, we can play hammered dulcimer, flute, harpguitar, and accordion to provide a varied and rich selection of music. I can also work with other musicians to custom fit the occasion. Sound reinforcement is available for an extra fee.

Here are a selection of short, at-home recordings, so you can get an idea of the options available:

Processionals:
- Dodi Li - hammered dulcimer solo
- Fanny Power - hammered dulcimer & accordion (listen for transition to Bride's entrance)

"Karen and Paul's music (hammered dulcimer and accordion in our case) was an absolute highlight of our wedding. Karen and Paul helped us pick the perfect repertoire of songs, and were a delight to work with from start to finish. We couldn't have imagined anything better to set the tone for our ceremony. We're so happy we found them!"

"Karen plays the hammered dulcimer and she does so beautifully. The sound of the instrument and the songs that she played really added to the atmosphere of our wedding ceremony. She was easy to work with and did a wonderful job."
