Celtic Harp Music by Anne Roos

Anne was such a pleasure to work with!! She was incredibly responsive with everything. Her attention to detail saved us so much work. She thinks of things that we don’t even realize we need and she’s just so thoughtful! She really caters to what you need and ask for your special day. She played everything beautifully and her music on our day was such a special touch. We will look back on it fondly!

We were absolutely thrilled to have Anne playing at our Wedding! Her music was simply enchanting and created an ethereal ambiance throughout. Anne's talent was evident in every note she played, and she worked incredibly well with us beforehand to match our vision for the day. From the moment we reached out to her, she exhibited the utmost professionalism and worked closely with us to determine the perfect musical selections that reflected our personalities. Anne's attention to detail and her ability to adapt to any situation made her an invaluable asset to our wedding planning process. We highly recommend her to any couples seeking a talented harpist who will bring beauty and grace to their special day. Thank you so much Anne!

Anne did such a wonderful job playing at my wife's surprise birthday party! Not only did she play wonderfully but she was EXCELLENT at communication. She called me right away and understood the difficulties of trying to pull off a surprise party and she did it with flying colors. For example I asked her not to call me but to email me and she was able to clearly communicate via the communication method I asked. Lastly, she has a HUGE selection of songs and can play just about anything. I had her play classical, religious and popular music and she did them all beautifully. It was a wonderful experience and she did and amazing job. I would love to hire her again sometime in the future.

Anne performed for 3 hours for the Celebration of Life for my Wife
She was Excellent to deal with and arrived early to the Event
We received nothing but Positive Comments from our Guests and she added the Touch of Class that I was looking for.

I hired Anne to play at my sister-in-law's memorial service. From the moment the decision was made, Anne was prompt, professional, and very detailed in her role and the timeline that needed to be established in a very short time, as my sister-in-law's death was unexpected. We were able to choose appropriate songs/hymns from Anne's extensive playlist and even include some of our loved one's favorites from the Beatles and Cat Stevens. She was very compassionate in helping to plan the music selections and even had a plan for getting to the remote venue in case the skies over California decided to continue its torrential downpour. As it turned out, it was sunny that day and the music was very beautiful and comforting. Thank you so much Anne.

My company hired Anne to perform at our holiday party, and it was a great success. From the time we contacted Anne through our event, she kept in touch and communication was easy and pleasant. She has a huge catalogue of music that she can play, and everyone who attended our party was impressed with her wonderful performance. Highly recommended!

Anne Roos provided the icing on the cake for my daughter’s Rose Garden reception.

Anne was a great addition to our Wedding's live music. We worked with her to play during the ceremony and dinner for the guests. Anne's process and communication helped keep us aligned through the big day. We'd highly recommend her for your live performance if you're looking at Harpists!

We had the great fortune of having Ann perform at our Wedding at St. John's Church in the Marshall Gold Discovery Center in Coloma. My Bride's nephew, William Hutchens, who lives in Reno sang, "A Time For Us", during the ceremony. He love's to sing, and probably be interested in performing at future weddings with Anne. You can't go wrong, and it is well worth the additional cost of having a musician with the caliber of Anne perform at your wedding.

Anne was very communicative and quick to confirm availability for our Mother's Day brunch this year. Our guests enjoyed the modern songs and that Anne was able to take requests. Definitely recommend for any high-end event or restaurant setting.

I hired Anne to play at my office Year-End Gala which had an Enchanted Forest theme. The harp and the additional string musicians she brought were perfect. The sound was exactly what we wanted for our cocktail hour. I would love to use Anne at any future events I plan. She was amazing to work with!

It was a true pleasure working with Anne for our wedding ceremony! Anne has such a wide range of songs that she plays and she does so beautifully! Several guests noted how great it was to have a live harpist performing during the ceremony. I whole heartedly recommend working with Anne for any event, but especially a wedding! She helped make our big day that much more special and we cannot thank her enough!!

Anne did a wonderful job performing at my mother's viewing and funeral service. Having Anne play added the extra soft and beautiful touch to my mom's service. Her music was very angelic and celestial. I know my mom was there is spirit and hopefully enjoyed the tribute paid to her. Anne was able to play all of the songs that we requested, all songs that we thought our mom would like. She played everything from Michael Jackson to traditional Celtic music, to religious songs, like Amazing Grace, Ave Maria, and Hallelujah.

Anne was also very professional. She arrived on time, provided easy payment information, and blended right into the service with little direction. We were very fortunate to have her play and add her beautiful touch in a way that my mother would have greatly enjoyed. I am so glad she was able to join us on that sad day; not only was the music beautiful, but it was also very comforting. Anne's professionalism made our day easier, as we did not have to worry about the live music piece, with other moving parts going on that day.

Thank you so much Anne! We will always treasure your presence at our mom's service.

We hired Anne for our daughter’s wedding. It was a small backyard wedding with 22 guests. Having Anne playing in the backyard added that special magic.
She was very professional, easy to communicate with, and has a beautiful smile. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Anne was wonderful to work with. Always thoughtful, communicative, and positive. She performed a virtual concert for our staff. It was a real treat to hear her perform. She's a very special performer.

Anne was wonderful. Will do it again when I am in Lake Tahoe.

Professional, prepared and innovative

Anne plays beautiful, textured music. Wonderful on CD, but even better live. Enjoy a real artist...

My name is Linda Norris, business owner of Top Talent Today Entertainment, and I would highly recommend Anne Roos as your first choice for musical entertainment! Not only is she an accomplished Musician as an "award-winning" Harpist, she can also put together a Celtic Trio, Musical Trio or Duet for you and your guests to fully enjoy! She will also go out of her way to find a suitable and professional replacement in case an emergency may arise. She is a true professional from start to finish and a real delight to work with as well.

Anne played "Danny Boy" as the family entered the church behind the Priest. It was so beautiful. She also played "Ave Maria", "You lift me up" as well as "When Irish eyes are smiling" at the end or the mass. It added so much to the service. My friends noticed the high caliber of her talent compared to some other harpists.
I would not hesitate to have her play at one of your events. I imagine how beautiful it would be at a wedding too. I am so happy I found Anne.

Anne was absolutely amazing at our wedding. We first met her at another friends wedding and wanting something different than a boring DJ. So we decided to hire Anne!

She was able to play songs from our list of “our songs” that we’ve played over the years and was able to make our day so special and unique. All of our guests told us as well how beautiful it was to listen to the harp and eat brunch and watch the river flow by. I could see her playing in any setting, by a pond, in a field, by the river, in a cabin, a church or on the beach. Anne was absolutely so sweet and professional as well as beautiful and timeless at our wedding and I can’t wait to hire her again for our next special event!

My family has known Anne for many years & when I got engaged, my dad insisted we book her for my wedding. Before we even got to talking about music, Anne spent several hours on the phone with me, giving me venues and caterers to check out and other people to ask after. She is a wedding professional and a joy to talk to. She gave me so much advice about having a wedding in the Reno-Tahoe area that I never would've otherwise gotten.

Her playlist is beyond expansive. I was so excited that our song was in her repertoire (I Will Follow You Into the Dark) as it's not a traditional wedding song. It sounded so beautiful as she played it behind our ceremony. Being two millennials getting hitched, we also loved her playing of I'll be There for You from Friends for our processional and the Game of Thrones theme song for our recessional. The Got song got a lot of recognition and admiration. It's a moment I won't soon forget.

Anne was always easy to contact and encouraged me to ask any and all questions I needed to. Which I did! She's a professional 100% of the way. So many of my friends and relatives relayed their amazement at her musical ability to me and my husband. I chose mostly popular love songs from the last couple of decades for her to play during our cocktail hour. My favorites were Come What May, Killing Me Softly and God Only Knows. Anne was a joy to have on our special day. To make your wedding ever more memorable, hire this extraordinary musician.

Anne was absolutely amazing. She is not only a beautifully talented artist, but she was fun, easy to talk to and she helped to make our special day most memorable. Her music is heavenly. We highly recommend her and plan to ask her to be part of our vow renewal in a couple of years. Thank you Anne!!

I got married on the Hyatt beach at Incline Village in June of 2018. Having a harpist was one of the fundamental aspects of my wedding vision, and I was so grateful to have found Anne! She was such a great communicator throughout the whole wedding planning process and she regularly followed up with me the weeks leading up to the big day. Her music was absolutely beautiful and it made the day unforgettable. She offers such a wide variety of music, and she also played several special requests for me for my first dance and father-daughter dance. Anne is a true professional and I highly recommend her for any special event!

Anne Roos' performance at the California State Auditor's conference was enjoyed by all! Her professionalism and talent were beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Anne and her harp to anyone wanting to add an elegant and enjoyable element to any function.

Anne was terrific and very professional from the start. We had a Catholic wedding ceremony and she was able to quickly learn a favorite hymn to play among others she already knew. We held our reception at the Bistro at Edgewood Tahoe in their private dining room and there was just enough room for 23 guests and Anne. With family, fine dinning and lively music the night was a success with many family members highlighting the music. Anne knows so many varieties of music it was hard to limit my choices. Everything she played was memorable, but the guests all broke out in song to Neil Diamond! We were able to sample her music on Amazon Music and "Blue Jeans & Velvet" was our favorite CD. If you have any doubts of hiring a harpist, listen to Anne's CD and you will be delightedly surprised how wonderful and how much depth hiring Anne Roos will add to your special event.

Anne Roos was a great addition to my holiday party. She added a special element and was able to play a variety of music spanning all genres. Her agreed upon performance was scheduled from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. She was such a hit, I asked her if she could extend her performance by another hour. She was able to extend for a nominal rate. She was extremely personable and professional not to mention TALENTED! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Harpist. I will definitely ask Anne to perform again at future functions.

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Valhalla, Lake Tahoe. With the accompaniment of Anne's harp, our wedding day was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the moment we spoke to Anne on the phone, we knew she would be perfect for our special day. Not only was she helpful with our wedding music selection, she offered advice and recommendations for all areas of our wedding planning. Anne is an extremely gifted artist with a warm heart that will add a special touch to any event she is a part of.

Anne is fantastic!! We were so lucky to have her play at our Tahoe wedding. She spent countless hours on the phone with me and via email reviewing details and making sure our song list was perfect. She also did a free demo for us in her living room, which was spectacular. I highly recommend Anne if you're looking for a professional, calming, joyous musician for your wedding. All our guests were WOWed!! Thank you Anne!

Anne was hired for our 2016 holiday party and release of our 2013 Cabernet. Exceptional music perfectly played and fit the venue and occasion to a t! Sparkling performance from a truly exceptional artist. I recommend her to anyone wanting to add grace and style to any occasion!

Anne is very easy to work with. She is such a professional. We got to pick the music that she played out of a very long list of possible choices. We had rented a mansion to have our event because it was in November, we asked Anne to set up inside. Since the weather was very nice, many of the people were enjoying the outside patio. We asked Anne to reset her harp outside so that more people could enjoy her music. She made the move very quickly without missing a beat. We would hire her again with no question.

Anne was wonderful to work with and her music is amazing! She played the ceremony and cocktail hour music for my outdoor wedding. For the rest of the evening, our guests continued to compliment how beautiful the harp music had been. She even took the time to learn a song I wanted for my entrance down the aisle and it was absolutely perfect! I am so grateful to have had Anne play at my wedding!

Anne has played for our Nevada County Celtic Club gatherings for the last three years, she has been a true pleasure. Anne plays her harp so beautifully it takes you to a far away place of enchantment and joy. Anne is one of a kind in her preforming talent, what a true talent and wonderful performer. Maddie Testa Grass Valley, Calif

Ann played at my wedding. It added such a special touch to the ceremony. Her talent is incredible and our guest really enjoyed her performance.
Too soon after our marriage began I lost my husband. I immediately thought of Ann and asked her to play at my husbands service. Again, she gave a lovely performance and it was very special to me to have her there.
She is well organized and knows exactly what is needed for a venue. She performed for such important events in my life. I felt that the importance was represented in her performance.

We hired Anne to play at my father-in-laws memorial and she was absolutely wonderful! I contacted Anne only a week before the memorial and she was really accommodating to us even with the short time frame. She played all the songs we requested and they were all played beautifully. Anne was a delight to work with and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist.

Anne provided harp music for our outdoor wedding. She played for the ceremony and also played with other musicians for featured music during the wedding. When she plays, we are all transported to some heavenly realm. She creates a magical atmosphere with her harp. She is affordable, flexible and highly talented. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting an enchanting wedding or other event.

Very easy to work with. My guests were pleasantly surprised. Especially that she played Metallica. Fit right in with my lake front wedding. You will not be disappointed

Anne Roos' Celtic harp music added that special magic to our daughter's wedding that I could have only hoped and dreamed for. It truly was a thrill to have her and her music shower the event with beautiful and emotionally charged musical pieces.
AND she is fun and easy to work with in making a special event the best it can be.
We cannot sign her praises loud enough---Thank you, thank you, thank you

We were thrilled to have Anne play for our wedding. She was professional throughout our entire experience. She was helpful and friendly and most of all she played beautifully. She even coordinated her attire to match our wedding theme. Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our day. Her song selection library is quite extensive and she took the time to send me links and talk to me about which songs to choose to fit our preference and our theme. All of our guests were in awe of her talent and everyone commented on what a wonderful touch it was to have her at our wedding! Thank you Anne!

Anne is a very skilled harpist and did a wonderful job at my daughter's wedding recently. She is very professional in her appearance and demeanor. She is also very engaged as far as selecting appropriate music for an event. Anne is also a very sweet lady and great to work with. You can't go wrong hiring Anne!

Attired in a middle-class, Renaissance-era dress and sprinkling her harp performances with history lessons related to the Renaissance period – from blind Irish harper Turlough O’Carolan to King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I – Roos delivered a performance that virtually transported our students to a distant time and place.

What can I say, other than Anne was incredible. From the first time I contacted her, she was very polite, professional, and just a pleasure to do business with. It's very obvious that Anne has plenty of experience and knows what she is doing. She asked questions that made planning the music for the ceremony easy, and never left us in doubt as to what was going to happen that day. My wife and I had a catholic ceremony in a church, which Anne was very familiar with, so she knew exactly what kind of music to play and when and everything went incredibly smooth and according to plan. Contact back and forth with Anne was also very easy. She is on top of everything and responds very quickly. She also follows up with you if she doesn't hear back, which I thought was great. There is a lot going on when planning a wedding, and it can though to stay on top of everything, so Anne's friendly reminders were very helpful. Last but not least, Anne is an excellent harp player. Her music during the ceremony was great, set the ambiance, and our guests really enjoyed it. Anne, we can't thank you enough!

The Gold Country Celtic Society in Nevada City CA hosted Anne Roos for the third time in as many years on April 22nd. As always, she presented an outstanding program of traditional and modern harp solos. Anne's talent and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated by the attendees of our monthly Gathering.

Anne Roos provided the most beautiful music for my friend's memorial. She is very talented and I heard many, many positive comments about her performance. She was pleasant to deal with, she was professional and honest, and she was the highlight of my event. I would give her a five-star rating, and I would definitely recommend her to my friends. Merle Owen

We were delighted to work with Anne on providing music for both our wedding ceremony and for the reception. She was very responsive to our inquiry, hosted us in her home for a preview of her music, played only from our extensive play list, charmed all of our guests and even dressed in a style to match our theme of High Tea. We are so glad we selected Anne as her music was the perfect background for our reception and lent a beautiful touch to our wedding ceremony. Richard and Alan

Anne played beautifully at my outdoor garden wedding. She added a magical whimsy that I was looking for and she was very professional and even dressed according to our wedding attire. I would absolutely recommend Anne Roos and her gorgeous Celtic harp music. Thank you again, Anne!

I found Anne while searching on the internet and found through GigSalad. Read the reviews and checked her website that led me to her beautiful sample music/recordings/performances. There was another string artists in GigSalad offering me their violin music service - they don't have any website, no sample music, and instead asking me to email them personally and my info - thought they're Scammers, try to get my money, wedding crash and ruin my wedding. If you want real value for money, very reliable, very professional, with website/sample music and wonderful wonderful music - you hire someone like Anne. She will reply to you right away, you don't have to follow up because she will. She'll send you the agreement, money down and then follow up again for your music selection (l just pick over 50 songs from her list) and if it's not on her list she'll find it for you. She'll make suggestions which music is appropriate for the ceremony/reception. Think about your wedding without any music from a reliable artist? Anne played wonderfully and beautifully and kept our wedding happy - she's a beautiful person too, will dress accordingly to your color motif. Carrying her harp, chair, umbrella (for outdoor) and play over 50 music is no joke, you'll get more from Anne. We had our a very small and intimate wedding, we also had our photographer, videographer, and Anne (and her assistant) sat with us during the reception - they're not there just to do their job but we want them to be included in our wedding/in our family. As an artist myself, l know what they do is hard work. Professional great artist like Anne especially her calm/gentle spirit - you want her to be a part of your wedding too. For me, she is the Best Harpist in Sacramento and The Sierra!

The enchanting and beautiful music Anne provided us for the ceremony was breathtaking! She is a credit to her profession. She is wonderful to work with and perfect attention to detail. Thanks Anne!

Anne provided the ceremony music for our wedding. She was fantastic to work with, by far the most organized and responsive vendor we worked with in Tahoe. We met her a few months before our wedding and she very patiently played some of our favorite songs and helped us come up with which songs we should use at our ceremony. On our Big Day, the music was just perfect. We really appreciated how reliable and detail-oriented she was, probably the only vendor we didn't ever have to worry about! Thanks Anne!

Anne provided ceremony and cocktail hour music for our wedding outdoors in the Water Gardens at the Hyatt. She was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Anne was able to provide us with recommendations for other vendors. She also gave us a lot of guidance when we were trying to choose the music to play during our ceremony.
The day turned out great and we received a lot of compliments about how great Anne sounded during our ceremony.

Anne did an absolutely beautiful job playing music during our ceremony at Edgewood in Lake Tahoe, NV! All of our guests were in love with the elegance of having a harp player during the ceremony, and greatly enjoyed listening to her amazing talent! The guests were so excited to be able to recognize the music she was playing, such as, her famous, "stairway to heaven" by Led Zepplin, and "Desperado" by The Eagles, along with many others! Just take a look at all of the songs she plays on the harp! She is amazing! I would 100% recommend others that want their ceremony to have that perfect elegant touch, to higher Anne for their ceremony! Thank you again so much Anne for performing at our wedding! It wouldn't have been as perfect and complete without you!
Thanks,
Me. & Mrs. A.

I hired Anne to perform at my brothers wedding as a surprise. Anne was professioanl throughout the process and willing to learn new music if nessary to accomidate my new sister-in-laws wishes. Everyone at the wedding was impressed with the quality of the music and we all thought it really added a special touch to the day. My brothers wedding was on a beach in Tahoe and Anne was able to accomidate this by bringing a carbonfiber harp down on the beach along with an amp so that everyone could hear the music. I felt like the price was reasonable and she fulfilled her contract completely! Thanks Anne!

Anne played for a 70th birthday celebration. She is incredibly talented and goes beyond what most musicians would do. She dressed in Celtic attire for the Irish guest of honor. Her musical selection included Celtic music to Broadway show tunes as requested. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and she made the event memorable for everyone. We loved her.

My husband and I wanted a harp player during our wedding ceremony. I googled harp player, took a chance, and called Anne. She was amazing!! All of my guests just loves her music. She was easy to work with, tons of music selections, & affordable! Anne was the perfect touch to our perfect day!

Anne performed for our local Celtic Society, and this was her second performance for us. The music is wonderful but what really makes the event is her interaction with the audience. We get to be 'in the know' of her instrument and her music. It makes the audience engaged and greatly increases the enjoyment. Highly recommend!

Anne played for us during our wedding ceremony and everyone loved her! We would have her play again in a heartbeat! It truly made our day that much more special. Thanks again Anne!!!

Anne provided such beautiful music, I couldn't have asked for anything better.  Not only that, she was an incredible resource prior to the wedding, suggesting other vendors and even locations as I was in the planning stages.  This was particularly helpful as we only recently moved to the area.  We're looking forward to attending other events that she will be playing at, such as wine and cheese tasting events, Celtic music sessions, etc.  

Anne Roos added so much to our wedding ceremony. As a senior couple, we were confused by what music we should choose to make our church ceremony special. We definitely chose correctly with Anne Roos. She offers so many choices, and helped us by previewing several pieces with us weeks in advance. We were to have several people of German descent as wedding guests, and Anne played such beautiful pieces prior to the ceremony, they were in awe. From Strauss wattzes to modern pieces, it all came together so beautifully. It made our wedding very memorable, and we give her 10 stars for her overall presentation.

My husband and I were married in our home and when our son Paul and his fiancé Jess requested to be married in the family home I was touched. They wanted to include a passage I wrote for my own wedding into theirs and in continuing the family tradition; I knew the Celtic harp would be appropriate for their wedding. I had heard Anne play and thought how wonderful it would be to have her perform for Jess and Paul’s wedding. She was booked for the day, but she opened up her schedule to accommodate the wedding. Ann worked with me to coordinate the appropriate music for the ceremony which included Eternity Candle lighting and traditional Celtic Hand Fasting ceremony as well. Ann’s choice of music before, during and after the ceremony was amazing. We highly recommend her and she added greatly to the whole experience for our friends and family in attendance. Well done Anne!

I was more than pleased to have hired Anne Roos to play her harp at my Dad's 80th birthday celebration. My entire family enjoyed the songs she chose to play and my parents can't stop commenting how much they enjoyed it. I would recommend her in an instant and I will definitely hire her again.

Anne Roos performed at our wedding ceremony. She did an amazing job. All our family and friends truly thought this was a great idea for a wedding. Prior to the wedding Anne was able to help assist me when I was stuck with the music selection. She answered all my questions and returned all my phonecalls. She was very professional and a delight to have at our wedding.

We hired Anne to play at our lakeside ceremony along with a few other msucians. She organized all the music and even coordinated practice sessions with the other musicians. We also had her play more folk/bluegrass style during our cocktail hour and what she put together was incredible and is still being talked about by our guests! We could not have been more pleased with the musical ambience her talent created and we highly recommend using her for any special occasion! From beginning to end she was a pleasure to work with!
