Magical Harp Music for an Intimate Wedding

We hired Chanah to play for our small 15-person wedding, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She was very responsive to messages and questions and checked in several times leading up to the wedding, which made planning feel easy and organized.

She learned two new songs specifically for our ceremony that weren’t already in her repertoire, and they were truly beautiful and meaningful. Her repertoire is also very easy to browse on her website, which helped us choose songs and get a sense of how they would sound on the harp ahead of time.

On the day of the wedding, she arrived at the same time we did, and we had a chance to chat before the ceremony. She is warm, personable, and easy to talk to, which immediately put everyone at ease. During the ceremony, her playing was clear and balanced, nothing was overpowered, and everything felt seamless. We were especially impressed by how well her setup carried throughout the conservatory space; the harp could be heard beautifully from every room.

Afterward, she continued playing while guests mingled, and at one point she even asked which songs we’d like to hear again, which made the experience feel very personal and interactive. Her harp itself is also stunning, and it added such a beautiful visual element to our photos.

Before leaving, we were able to chat again briefly, and she was just as kind and friendly with our guests as she was with us. She later sent us recordings of our favorite pieces and the songs she learned for our wedding, which has been incredibly special to listen back on.

Overall, Chanah helped make our wedding feel truly memorable. We would absolutely recommend her for any event where you want live music that feels both elegant and personal.

Celebration of Life

Chanah is the ultimate professional and stepped in quickly to play at the Celebration of Life for my son. We also had a soloist and Chanah worked with her in a rehearsal beforehand so everything was practiced and perfect for our day. The harp is beautiful, ornate and gold and Chanah wore a beautiful dress. It all combined for the elegance we wanted for our very important day.

Delightfully magical!

Chanah was a delight. Fit the vibe of our themed wedding perfectly. On our wedding day she was prompt, her setup and teardown were seamless and unobtrusive. Correspondence was prompt and there were no hidden fees. Chanah's musical recommendations helped us realize our vision for the day. If we have any regrets it's that we couldn't hang out more, she was so cool and nice!

Hire Her Now

Wow. There is not enough incredible words to use to describe Chanah and her stunning talent. Chanah was the very first vendor I reached out to before we had even booked our date. I knew she had to be playing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. Our vision was very romantic, moody and blue, ethereal and enchanting. Working with Chanah over the 1.5 year to make our vision come to life was amazing. She is so kind, funny, incredibly helpful and beyond talented. We cannot recommend her enough to have her at your wedding or any special event. I know so many people came up to us telling us the harp was one of the most beautiful things they have ever heard in their life. Our wedding day was the most happiest and perfect day of our entire life, and it is no doubt it is partly because of the magic Chanah was able to bring on our once of a lifetime day. The value is priceless. You will not regret hiring her, so what are you even waiting for??

100% recommend

Chanah played for my cocktail hour for my wedding. Everyone was blown away by her skill and performance we hired her to play with a violinist that she recommended which we also loved. She answered emails quickly responded always with an answer to my questions. One of the most professional, genuine vendor we had. Go ahead and book her you will not regret it! Everyone said it felt like a Bridgerton wedding with Chanah!

What to expect

The harp is one of those instruments that sparkles in any capacity: timeless elegance, Old World majesty, serene peace, and cheerful jubilation!

Music is expression, and whether you love the elegant classics, or gravitate towards the tender song that brings back the memories, or you're on the cutting edge and want that tune that just hit youtube, your event should be an expression of what you envision! I enjoy working with you to create a unique playlist to strike just the right note.

I have played for a private anniversary party, and for weddings with over 800 guests. I can offer amplification, outdoor equipment, and up to 5 hours of music!

Get in touch with me to discuss what your vision is for your day!

About

Dreaming of the harp? Enjoy a blissful musical experience tailored to your event, bringing the brilliance, elegance, and majesty of the Harp to your day!

My primary harp is a lovely Gilded Iris (Limited Edition) in rosewood and 24-carat gold, and a luxurious, world-class sound. My repertoire includes Classical, Celtic, Modern pop, Golden Oldies, Broadway, Jazz, Disney/Soundtrack, Holiday & Religious, and Garden-theme music.

I began harp lessons at 11 years old, continuing with studies at the Juilliard Pre-College, Univ. of Michigan, and Univ. of Illinois, and culminating with my Master of Music in Harp Performance and Literature.

Get in touch to book a consultation or reserve your date!

Additional booking notes

My harp is equipped with an internal microphone and can connect to a battery-powered/wireless Bose amplifier to magnify the harp's sound for gatherings of up to 250 people, or connect directly to a DJ's amplifier for a grander occasion!

There may be additional set-up requirements if the event will be outdoors, in order to protect my instrument from:
- Temperatures outside the manufacturer's recommendation
- Precipitation
- Direct sunlight
- Soil, gravel, dirt, etc

I personally offer (optional) equipment for rental to help make having the harp at your outdoor event everything you envision!
