Captivating Live Music for Bay Area Weddings: Harp, Piano, and Traditional Chinese Guzheng
Transform your San Francisco Bay Area wedding into an unforgettable masterpiece with breathtaking live music. Specializing in elegant harp, classic piano, and the mesmerizing sounds of the traditional Chinese Guzheng (zither), I provide an exquisite, cross-cultural musical experience for couples across San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and Napa Valley. Whether you envision a timeless Western ceremony, a traditional Chinese celebration, or a seamless fusion of East and West, my live performances bring romance, sophistication, and deep emotional resonance to your special day.


What's your favourite type of event?

Live music does more than fill a room; it captures emotions and builds a unique atmosphere that recorded tracks simply cannot replicate.
* The Elegance of the Harp: The sweeping, romantic arpeggios of the harp create a dreamlike, ethereal atmosphere. It is the ultimate choice for a classic garden ceremony or a grand ballroom processional.
* The Versatility of the Piano: From timeless classical concertos to contemporary pop ballads, the piano offers limitless musical possibilities. It provides a sophisticated background for cocktail hours, indoor ceremonies, and formal dinners.
* The Magic of the Guzheng (Chinese Zither or Chinese harp): The Guzheng brings a rich cultural heritage to your wedding. Its vibrant, cascading tones evoke images of flowing water and ancient landscapes, adding an exotic, authentic, and emotionally moving element to your event.
the Chinese instrument allows you to honor familial roots, surprise your guests, and showcase a beautiful blend of cultural traditions


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?


Booking Information for Bay Area Couples
As an experienced, professional Bay Area musician, I understand the unique logistics of local venues. From navigating outdoor sound requirements in foggy San Francisco to coordinating setup times at a sunny Silicon Valley estate, I handle everything with absolute professionalism. I provide all of my own premium sound amplification equipment, ensuring crystal-clear acoustics regardless of venue size.
Packages are fully customizable based on your timeline, location, and choice of instruments. Dates during the peak Bay Area wedding season (May through October) fill up very quickly.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

A Versatile Repertoire spanning from classical to popular music.
You do not have to choose between traditional heritage and modern style. My extensive repertoire bridges cultural gaps and satisfies guests of all generations:
* Western Classics & Modern Pop: Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love, Yiruma's River Flows in Your Eyes, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, and John Legend.
* Traditional & Pop Chinese Melodies: Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower), The Moon Represents My Heart(Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin), Butterfly Lovers, and modern mandopop hits beautifully arranged for the harp, piano, and Guzheng.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. Why Live Wedding Music Matters in the Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Area boasts some of the most diverse, stunning wedding backdrops in the world. From rustic Napa valley vineyards and historic San Francisco hotels to sleek modern estates in Silicon Valley, your venue sets a high standard. Live music matches that beauty. Recorded tracks cannot read a room. A professional live musician watches your guests, feels the energy of the room, and adjusts the tempo or volume in real time.
Couples across San Jose, San Francisco, and the East Bay look for artists who offer flexible packages. Many top-tier local performers provide multi-stage support:
* Soft, elegant instrumental pieces during the guest seating and processional.
*
* Upbeat, conversational background melodies during the cocktail hour and dinner service.
*
* High-octane dance sets, custom first-dance arrangements, and late-night party anthems.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.

Birthday Party •

Reviewed on August 9, 2026 • From Los Altos, CA

Mary played piano for two hours at my 40th birthday celebration. Before the event, we had a lovely phone conversation to discuss the playlist and the kind of music I wanted.

She arrived early to warm up and was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with.

During the celebration, Mary was also incredibly accommodating with song requests on the spot. The music was a beautiful addition to the evening and Mary was wonderful. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a pianist for a special event!
