Professional, kind and Amazing Musician

Highly Recommended! It has been an absolute pleasure working with Anne for our virtual events. She is most professional in all communication and an amazing musician and talent. Our members loved both her Irish Harp Music event as well as her Harp Music Variety Show. Her selections are spot on and we loved hearing a little background about the songs too. We look forward to more events with Anne in the future.

Perfect Soundtrack to Our Special Day

Anne did SUCH a wonderful job as a harpist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I walked down the aisle to Once Upon a Dream and it was amazing! Honestly getting married felt like being in a dream and part of that dreaminess came from the music! Anne was amazing to work with from start to finish! She was always timely, easy to communicate with, and provides very helpful information when it comes to selecting the music. So many of guests praised her and came up excited because they could recognize the songs (we had some fun ones included). Highly recommend Anne and a live musician for your wedding!

Romantic, Wonderful, Inspirational and Fun!

I was so lucky to have Anne play at my wife's 50th birthday dinner party at Flame and Fire in Roseville. She made it easy for us to just listen, enjoy and dine while she played her harp center stage and background. She not only played wonderful Celtic and Country music for us she broke out "Thank You" and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zep! All on a Harp. We were all wowed! Anne's easy going, polite and professional personality added for a very successful and fun night! I highly recommend Anne for your event!

Enchanted Forest + Celtic Harp = Magic

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!!

Thank you Anne!

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.

She was very professional, easy to communicate with, and has a beautiful smile. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

Memorial Service for my Mother

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.

A uniqueness, beauty and tranquility

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!

The Amazing Anne

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.

June Incline Beach Wedding

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.

Great for Weddings!

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.

Anne's music was perfect for our Celebration of Life

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.

I am grateful for Ann Roos

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.

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.

Wedding Harpist

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!

Much More than Great Music!

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.

Set the ambiance for our ceremony!!!

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!

Anne's third performance another success.

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.

Perfect addition to our wedding

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

Beautiful Music and Harpist - Hire HER!

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!

Very reliable and professional

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!

Elegant, Beautiful, & Perfect

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!

Wedding Music

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!

Elegant and Sophisticated ceremony - we'll never forget it!

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.

Lily-n-Rose Garden Wedding

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!

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!

What to Expect

Elegant music played confidently by Anne Roos, a Celtic Harpist with over 30 years of experience performing at a wide assortment of events. Choose the type of music you'd like Anne to play, and she'll deliver with the professionalism that you expect.

About

This award winning harpist always loved music, even from a young age. Her dad took her to concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, where she would lay her head in his lap and listen to the L.A. Philharmonic play while watching planes skirt across the sky.

Anne grew to love English and Celtic music as a child and young teen at Southern California Renaissance Fairs, when she relished the opportunities to sing in madrigal groups, eventually joining stage performers.

She started playing the Celtic Harp quite by accident. While employed at an incredibly stressful job, Anne serendipitously met harpist Sylvia Woods inside a booth filled with little harps at a Winter Solstice Festival. Intrigued, she began taking private instructions from her as a creative outlet. Then came music theory courses at UCLA and eventually teaching music for the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Her collaborations with other performing artists worldwide took Anne to the Grammys® in 2015, as the harpist on the award-winning Best New Age Album, "Winds of Samsara". She continues to drop in to record on studio sessions.

For thirty years and counting, Anne continues to enjoy playing at all manner of event--as a soloist at resort hotels, convention centers, cruise ships, concert venues, highland games, Celtic and Renaissance fairs, casino clubs, wineries, meditation retreats--you name it. She is an invited performer for several dignitaries, including the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland.

Her ability to play a wide variety of music, ranging from traditional Celtic, Early, Renaissance and classical music, to modern popular music from the movies, Broadway, Beatles, and even Metallica, makes her a popular and much sought after musician for a wide variety of events.

Anne is not only comfy performing in front of a live audience--She's also happy playing on camera and behind a microphone. She continues to appear on a number of television programs and radio shows with her Celtic Harp. She used her extensive knowledge of music as a Classical, Jazz, and World music announcer for National Public Radio.

Considered a wedding music authority, Anne wrote the handbook, "The Bride's Guide to Musicians: Live Wedding Music Made Easy and Affordable", published by Hal Leonard books. She also published a how-to manual for musicians who are interested in performing for nuptial occasions--"The Musician's Guide to Brides".

Anne Roos is an active member of the San Francisco Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, better known as the Recording Academy. She served on their Board of Governors, Anne is proud to be involved with this organization, which works to positively impact the lives of musicians, industry members and our society at large.

Additional Booking Notes

When Anne performs solo, amplification will be provided if needed. To assure that all your guests can comfortably hear her beautiful harp, Anne can use a microphone and small amplifier. The normally acoustic harp is amplified so that the natural sound of the instrument is not altered. Her sound system is battery powered, so an electrical outlet is not necessary. For large audiences and concert performances, Anne can provide her own PA system (electricity will be required).

Set List

Anne's repertoire is incredibly diverse. You'll find her complete list of music at her website. A typical set can range from one hour, to several hours (with breaks at each hour).

You get to choose the direction of music that Anne performs in her set: Irish/Celtic/Renaissance music, New Age Music, Modern Pop music, Holiday or Religious music, and more! Call Anne, and she'll design a concert that suits your event.

Anne can also perform in duets or ensembles. Anne's ensemble set list will vary depending upon the number and type of additional instruments requested (possible instrument availability includes: fiddle, guitar, viola, bodhran, flute/pennywhistle/recorder, bagpipes, vocalists, rock bands, and jazz bands).

Influences & Inspiration

I am influenced by performers from many different genres, from pop to classical to rock to Celtic music. (And i'm not just influenced by harpists).

Setup Requirements

Harps do not stay in tune in adverse weather conditions--Please provide shade from direct sunlight, heat for chilly weather, and protection from precipitation.

Anne and her harp need an area that measures at least 5 feet by 5 feet.

Testimonials

“Anne Roos is an amazing harpist and this CD showcases her talents beautifully. A small musical group joins her on this effort, which highlights songs about woodland creatures such as fairies, nymphs and trolls. A 31 page hardcover book comes with the CD and it talks about various folk history and legends--a nice touch to a well thought out musical effort.

The group provides a lovely sound. CDs that are put forth only showcasing harp music can be nice, but it is equally wonderful to have some additional accompaniment; and it expands the amount of people that it will appeal to as well.

Roos' harp music is effortless. Gliding and sliding over notes, she shows her skill time and again, but this isn't "gaudy" music. It's simple, pretty fare. At 18 tracks, there are quite a few songs to enjoy here, each offering its own mood and feel. The gentleness of the harp is underscored in some pieces, the yearning almost palpable. If you love the instrument, you have to listen to this and see what can be done with the various arrangements. If you aren't a huge fan of the harp, there are still plenty of tracks here that you can enjoy.”

– Catherine L. Tully

Lahri Bond reviews Anne Roos’ CD, A Light in the Forest in the June/July 2008 issue:

"Here is a nifty little idea; combine a CD of Celtic harp music, thematically connected by songs about forest and faerie lore, with a CD-sized hardcover book of background information and stories associated with each song. In the hands of a lesser player than Anne Roos, this could have easily been an exercise in prancing around the pixie dust, but Roos’ research, design sensibility, and, most of all, her masterful playing makes this project a delight.

Joined by woodwinds, harmonium, percussion, viola, guitars, and fiddle, Roos takes center stage with her sweeping and articulate harp playing on 18 tunes. What brings this CD up a level from just another pretty harp album is Roos’ sharp and clean harp playing. She also has a fine ear for melody and timing.

The booklet is richly illustrated with paintings from such artists as Frank Goodwin and William Holbrook Beard and a host of Victorian postcard illustrations. Overall, this is an exceptional marriage of music, words, and visuals that both adults and children would enjoy very much.”

Hot Review of Anne Roos' CD Mermaids & Mariners

In the August/September 2005 issue of Dirty Linen Magazine, Susan Hartman reviews Mermaids & Mariners, the latest album release by Anne Roos:

"Lovely" and "enchanting" are two words that come to mind in describing this CD. First, the packaging: in hardcover-booklet form, fronted by marbled paper surrounding a cutout through which shows a tinted illustration from a German fairy-tale book. Extensive notes include an essay on the nature of the "call of the sea," the history of each tune, and a biography of each musician. A perfect piece for gift shops...but how does the music stand up? Quite well, in fact. Anne Roos is an accomplished Celtic harpist, and she is joined by equally accomplished friends to form an ensemble that makes music at the crossroads of Celtic and "ancient music."

Flying in May or June of 2005? A track from Anne Roos' CD Mermaids & Mariners will be featured on the Rhythms of the World Channel on United Airlines and Air Force One airplanes. This music can be accessed with on board headsets.

An official with the company says, "It's beautiful music and absolutely stunning packaging." Mermaids & Mariners is actually a 24-page book containing an instrumental CD, featuring Anne Roos on the Celtic harp, with guitar, fiddle, and viola. This recording celebrates the lure of the sea through ballads, laments, and sea shanties.
