April 30, 2025A Perfect Accompaniment to the Event
Dr. Vanessa Fountain was wonderful! She communicated clearly, arrived with enough time to set up, and played music that was perfect for the event. Our guests enjoyed her music and having her at the event really enhanced the event. I would hire Dr. Vanessa Fountain to play harp again at an event.
