About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Are you looking to add the beautiful, warm, magical sounds of the harp to your wedding? Do you want Sylvia's soprano voice enchanting your guests? Would you like to have the harp soothe family and friends during a memorial service or a visitation? Is your next event missing the special it-factor? Let Sylvia LaPratt and her harp take you to a place where elegance and graciousness set the tone for an extraordinary event. For over 20 years, Sylvia LaPratt has been performing her harp for weddings, receptions, orchestras, theatrical performances, recitals, and many other events. She completed a university degree in Harp Performance and Music Education at the Zürich Hochschule für Musik und Theatre in her native Switzerland. Her repertoire includes classical, popular, and religious music suited perfectly for weddings, receptions, and other events. She has performed harp music in Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Cuba, Venezuela, Japan, Korea, and the U.S.A. Sylvia has played harp for weddings both indoors and outdoors and has been featured performing her harp on Swiss television. She has been interviewed on Detroit's WRCJ 90.9 FM. In addition to being an accomplished harpist, Sylvia is also an extraordinary singer. In 2012, Sylvia completed her Masters in Music degree from Wayne State University in Detroit where she studied vocal performance. She enjoys sharing her special talent of singing and playing the harp at the same time. Knowing how stressful weddings can be, Sylvia wants to make sure, choosing the music selection is not one of the stressful parts. You're welcome to pick the music and discuss music ideas over the phone or by email - whatever is most convenient for you. You would like to hear a song that is not on Sylvia's list? She will do everything she can to find or create an arrangement of your song for a small additional fee. You don't want to pick any songs? Also not a problem. With many years of experience, Sylvia will pick a mix of classical harp compositions and popular ballads to fit your event.

Review by Lisa B.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 27, 2026From Hamtramck, MI

I’m so happy we hired Sylvia for our daughter’s wedding. The harp is such a beautiful instrument and her performance was amazing! So beautifully done! She surpassed all of my expectations! Her playing made the ceremony that much more personal, heartfelt, and memorable.

HarpingSwiss Harpist and Singer:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lisa! I had so much fun preparing all the songs your daughter picked, especially the song from Star Wars for her entrance. Definitely a wedding ceremony to remember! Best wishes to you and your family.

Review by Cally G.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on June 2, 2025From Farmington Hills, MI

Sylvia brought so much heart and beauty to our wedding reception. Her harp music during dinner made the entire evening feel unique and unforgettable. She shared her extensive repertoire beforehand—including classical, Disney, and amazing covers of Led Zeppelin and Elton John. The highlight was her rendition of “Merry-Go-Round of Life” from Howl’s Moving Castle, which gave us a special private dance moment. She was professional, flexible, and truly unforgettable. I’m already thinking of future events just to hear her play again!

HarpingSwiss Harpist and Singer:

Dear Cally, Thank you so much for your kind words! You had picked so many wonderful songs from my list and your private dance moment to your special song was truly magical! Wishing you and your husband only the best for your future, Sylvia
