Celtic Harp Music by Anne Roos

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
