Incredible Ceremony Music

We had the absolute pleasure of having Eleonora as our harpist for our wedding, and she was simply incredible! She is an exceptionally talented musician, attentive to every detail, and the most professional and punctual person to work with.

Her music created the most romantic and special atmosphere during our ceremony, it truly felt magical. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how beautiful and moving her performance was.

Eleonora exceeded every expectation and added such elegance and emotion to our day. We highly, highly recommend her to any couple looking to make their wedding ceremony unforgettable.

Best Harpist

We hired Eleonora Pellegrini to play the harp for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and she was absolutely incredible. Her music set the tone for the entire day — elegant, calming, and beautifully timed.

From the start, she was so easy to work with and helped us choose the perfect playlist from her long list of songs. She arrived early, was completely professional, and played everything flawlessly. We had so many guests tell us how much they loved the live harp music — it truly elevated the atmosphere.

If we hadn’t booked her, it honestly would’ve been one of our biggest regrets. We can’t recommend Eleonora enough!

Amazing experience

We are glad to have Eleonora Pellegrini as the fantastic harpist for our wedding on September 16th, a 60-guest event, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Over the course of an hour, she performed 6-8 carefully selected songs that perfectly set the tone for our special day. The music created a beautiful atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. Thank you for adding such an elegant touch to our celebration! Highly recommend.

Dear Meriah, thanks from the bottom of my heart for your words! It has been a true pleasure for me to play at your wonderful wedding at The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. So many of your guests complimented me on the contemporary songs as well as some traditional Persian melodies played on the harp. My best wishes to you and Pejmon in your new adventure!
