About BarraStoop

BarraStoop

Wedding Performer (Bandurist)

Hello, I'm Chris Spence (BarraStoop) — a wedding performer specialized in playing the Bandura. I create personalized musical experiences for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and more. My goal is to provide the perfect soundtrack to your magical day. At this time, I'm not currently accepting new bookings as I prepare to launch my full wedding services. Please feel free to explore my work, check out reviews, or reach out with any inquiries — I'd love to connect with you as I get ready to open up my calendar.

I am a solo instrumentalist that plays the Bandura — the Ukrainian Lap Harp. It is an uncommon, beautiful instrument that holds physical characteristics of a guitar, a zither, and a harp all in one. It has a beautifully resonant and rich sound that stands on its own with a voice ready to share any musical story.

BarraStoop was the perfect choice for our wedding band and DJ. From the very first call, they were extremely professional and down-to-earth, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, their musical talents truly shone - they provided the perfect soundtrack for our special day, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. As wonderful musicians, they exceeded our expectations and ensured our celebration was truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend BarraStoop to any couple looking for a top-notch band and DJ to make their wedding day extra special.
An enlightening experience!

It was truly a joy and a privilege to perform for you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the performance, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my music with you. Thank you again for having me! 🙂

Black dress pants/shirt with a black & gold vest. Professional Wedding Attire.

I do upon personal request. I charge a premium of 150$ per custom song due to each song taking time to learn and curate.

I perform on a rare 65-string Bandura — a majestic blend of lute, harp, and guitar — bringing an etheral, resonant sound to your wedding day.

I can do personalized set-lists within my repertoire, but on-the-spot requests are not available at this time.

I provide music service for both.

Classical, Traditional wedding, Celtic, Religious, & Movie soundtracks (Disney songs)

3 to 4 hours before.

Only music performance.

Price listing includes travel, sales tax, and breakdown costs
