Alisa Bekebrede

Our experience with Ms. Bekebrede was exceptional. She played a variety of music from light classical to smooth jazz for a women's luncheon. Our guests were so impressed they called me the next day to compliment her and possible future engagements. She was very elegant in her appearance and demeanor. I highly recommend her for any occasion.

Alisa provided the pre and post ceremony music for our wedding ceremony on 3/28 and set the exact perfect tone for the event! We were going for Irish chic and she helped pull that together. She mixed contemporary tunes with Celtic music and braved some chilly temps all with a smile on her face. We couldn’t appreciate her more!

Alisa was absolutely phenomenal. She arrived early, set up without a single hiccup, and from the moment the first note played, the entire atmosphere shifted. Our guests were captivated. What truly set her apart was her versatility, she seamlessly moved through different styles and genres in a way that felt effortless and perfectly curated for every moment of the evening. If you are looking for someone who does not just perform but truly elevates the experience, Alisa is it. We could not recommend her more highly.

Highly recommend it. Alisa gave a harmonizing touch to our event. She was punctual, organized and very talented.

We had the immense joy of having Alisa perform at our wedding on May 17, and her music was nothing short of exquisite. With her wealth of experience and impeccable artistry, she curated and arranged the perfect selections for our ceremony and reception. We entrusted the entire musical aspect to her—and she delivered with grace and beauty beyond anything we could have imagined!

Alisa’s professionalism, poise, and sensitivity to the moment made her a dream to work with. Her music added depth and elegance to our wedding, creating an atmosphere that was both sacred and enchanting. We are still hearing from guests about how moving and memorable the music was.

With a distinguished career as Principal Harpist of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra since 2010 and as Second Harpist with Symphony in C (Camden, NJ), Alisa brings a caliber of performance that is rare and extraordinary. Her accolades and experience with major orchestras (including the Philadelphia Orchestra, Philly Pops, and IRIS Orchestra) were evident in every note.

We are deeply grateful for the beauty she brought to our day. Alisa is truly a gift.
