May 29, 2026Exceptional
Evelyn was absolutely outstanding and exceeded every expectation. She performed at our spoken word event and completely captivated our guests from the moment she began playing. Her music was beautiful, elegant, and deeply moving—creating exactly the atmosphere we hoped for and more.
Beyond her remarkable musical talent, Evelyn was poised, professional, and a joy to work with. She arrived prepared, presented herself with grace and confidence, and demonstrated a level of maturity well beyond her years. Her song selections were thoughtful and perfectly complemented the tone of our event.
Many of our guests commented on how stunning her performance was and how much her music enhanced the overall experience. She brought a sense of warmth, beauty, and sophistication that made the evening truly memorable.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a talented harpist for weddings, receptions, spoken word events, private gatherings, or any special occasion. She is a gifted musician, and we feel fortunate to have had her share her talent with us.
Thank you, Evelyn, for making our event so special. You are awesome and were simply magnificent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Her performance was amazing. She was dressed for the occasion. Her professionalism was excellent. She has a beautiful smile and a warm spirited. She added that extra touch to the 2025 Cinderella and Prince Charming Experience hosted by I Am Royalty, Fit for a King and Queen!

What to expect
When you book me for an event, you can expect respect and understanding first and foremost. I will dress appropriately for the event either in accordance with the dress code or by wearing all black (if no dress code is specified).
I bring my own music stand, harp, music, light (for darker settings), and chair (unless you would like me to use a different one).
At this point in time, I do not have my own mic and amplification equipment. Whether those things are necessary depends on the size of the venue. Speakers are strongly recommended for outdoor events!
I will arrive thirty minutes early to set up and tune properly before the event. I can arrive as early as you need me to.
I can arrange music per request ($8 per request). For music not on my list, please give me 3 month's notice of the song selection for the best results.
About
My name is Evelyn Nguyen, I have studied harp for 7 years and I love it! I am used to arranging on a case-by-case basis. I am classically trained and have studied harp with Katie Kulp, Grace Bauson, and Zoe Coppola.
I started with a piano background when I was 6 years old and began studying harp in June 2019.
I have played in several chamber groups and trios as well as orchestras and have accompanied solo performances.
Additional booking notes
I play a Dusty Strings Ravenna-34 Lever harp. This can impact song selection, but I am very good at arranging music to fit my harp's capabilities.
I can play anywhere there is flat, even ground. I need a 6 x 9 ft for the performance area. For outdoor performances, please ensure that I will not be playing on grass as my harp will get stuck in the dirt. I will bring my music stand.
I don't always need sound equipment, it truly depends on the size of the venue and the acoustics.
I am quite flexible. If you are looking for a performance on a day when my calendar says unavailable, please message me. My calendar depicts general availability.

I can learn songs upon request! If there is sheet music, the price of the sheet music is added to the total cost. If I need to arrange a song, it's $8 per arrangement. There is no upcharge if you need a song shortened and lengthened. I can easily match the event's atmosphere and put together a set for a desired feeling.
Influences and inspiration
I have been inspired by Grace Bauson (harpist based in Maryland), Jacqueline Poullaf (harpist based in Baltimore, Maryland), and TwoSetViolin.
My biggest influences have been my music teachers, Grace Bauson, Katie Kulp, Liane Houchins, and Elaine Ramos. I have learned so much from these ladies who have dedicated so much time to perfecting their craft. The best thing they instilled in me is to play well for the glory of God.
