Stage for the harp

Solid deck for outside weddings

Setting up the harp on the uneven lawn is not very safe. A small, well-built stage or sturdy deck is needed.

Outside wedding ceremony

If your ceremony take place outside during the summer, ideally natural shade or a canopy should be set up to protect the instrument from sun and rain.
