Andrea was such a wonderful person to work with! She is an incredible harpist and can play any song you can think of! She was very quick to respond and answer any questions I had. She is very organized, personable, and kind! My ceremony and cocktail hour music was one of my favorite parts of my wedding. I 100% recommend her!!

Fantastic harpist!!

One of Andrea's students, Olivia Cline ended up playing for my daughter's wedding, which was in a rural, family farm setting under a tent. Olivia was totally amazing!! On time, perfect cue's and the music was so moving. Everyone commented about how wonderful having harp music for (Halston's wedding) made the event! (Bride's choice!!) We did record and added mic's to allow for great distribution of sound, which our DJ took care of. I would very highly recommend this artist. Very easy to work with and totally on her A game through the entire experience.

From start to finish Andrea was a joy to work with. I truly enjoyed every interaction we had with her and she was a perfect addition to our ceremony. Our guest couldn't stop raving about how great she was and I can't say enough about how accommodating she was! HIGHLY recommend her. I interviewed over 15 harpist and she's by far the best.

Andrea's music for my daughter's wedding was stunning! She set the perfect tone for the romantic ceremony, and worked with the couple for music that was meaningful to them. She blended religious, classical, and popular music to reflect exactly the emotions of the day. She was so easy to work with and professional throughout the entire process. Thanks Andrea for your contribution to a perfect wedding!
