Beautiful Music & Great Customer Service

We hired Caroline for our Wedding Ceremony and we had a laundry list of songs ranging from pop, musicals, spiritual, to even obscure Filipino Ballads and she accommodated us in all these requests. She played pre-ceremony, processional, during and after the ceremony. We did a full Catholic Mass so she knew when to appropriately fill in silences with music without our direction. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and made our backyard ceremony even more special with her music.

Lovely Music for Valentine's Day

We are a repeat client and couldn't be happier with Caroline's second performance here at our country club. She played for our Valentine's Day dinner and the members enjoyed the love songs she played on the harp as background music. Thank you, Caroline!

Awesome!

Caroline Reyes played for Christmas Eve Dinner at our Country Club. I have nothing but stellar things to say about her performance. She was fantastic, prepared a great array of Christmas songs, and was very professional. She was not intrusive to the atmosphere, but instead greatly attributed to the ambiance. We will definitely hire her again if she is available. Caroline is an excellent addition to our event. Thank you!
