Harp and voice for her Misa de Quince Años

Live music for the Mass, in English or Spanish, anywhere in the San Diego diocese.

The Sacrament

The Mass is the heart of the day

Everything else — the hall, the vals, the photographs — comes after. A harp in the church turns your daughter's entrance into something nobody in the pews forgets, and Ave María sung live while she brings her flowers to the Virgin is the moment families still talk about twenty years later.

The Liturgy

The moments that need music

  1. 01

    La entrada

    Your daughter enters with her corte de honor. Timed to the length of the aisle and the number of chambelanes, not to a recording that ends too soon.

  2. 02

    During the Liturgy

    Responsorial psalm, Alleluia, and the quiet moments between readings. Marsha knows the liturgy and plays it properly, in either language.

  3. 03

    La ofrenda a la Virgen

    The flowers to Our Lady, and the piece almost every family asks for: Ave María, sung live rather than played from a phone. Marsha has recorded it in fourteen languages — this is the moment the whole Mass has been building toward.

  4. 04

    La bendición

    The blessing of the medalla, the anillo, the Biblia and the rosario. Quiet underscoring that holds the room while the priest speaks.

  5. 05

    La salida

    She leaves the church to something joyful, and the music continues while your family gathers on the steps.

Language

In English or Spanish

Marsha sings in fourteen languages, and Spanish is one she uses every week — at Masses, funerals, weddings and Quinceañeras across the diocese. Your family can choose the language for each piece, and mix them if that's what suits your household. Nothing needs to be translated at the last minute or approximated.

Options

Beyond the Mass

Photographs after Mass

Live harp while your photographer works. It keeps a long session from going flat and gives you music in the background of every video clip.

El vals

Marsha can play the waltz live at your reception before the DJ takes over. A harp for the father–daughter dance sounds nothing like a recording through speakers.

Harp with additional musicians

Add violin, flute or cello for a fuller entrance. Marsha coordinates the players and the arrangements.
