Hello there!, My name is Kate Huntley and I've been performing as a freelance harpist for 13 years. I have performed all over southern California and Long Island, NY for numerous weddings and events, including: Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, CA; Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, CA; the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, CA; the L'Auberge Hotel and Spa in Del Mar, CA; Finn MacCools in Port Washington, NY; Four Points by Sheraton in Long Island City, NY; & the Church of St. Mark Episcopal in Brooklyn, NY.
The harp adds a touch of elegance to any wedding or event, and I am looking forward to working with you to create a magical atmosphere for you and your guests!
Kate was the ideal addition for our event! She was able to play a wide variety of songs, from classical songs to the theme from Up, and paid close attention to the vibe of the room so she knew when to play louder and when to pause for a moment. We would certainly hire her again!
Kate was wonderful! Her playing was completely enchanting and she was very friendly. We had a small private party where she played background music. We were so enthralled by her beautiful harp and expertise. I would recommend Kate for any event.
Response from Heart2Harps:

Hi there, my name is Kate Huntley and I've been performing as a freelance harpist for 12 years. I have performed all over southern California and Long Island, NY for numerous weddings and private events, including Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, the College of the Desert in Palm Desert, La Casa del Zorro in Borrego Springs, the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, the L'Auberge Hotel and Spa in Del Mar, the Huntington Beach Public Library in Huntington Beach, Finn MacCools in Port Washington, Four Points by Sheraton in Long Island City, and the Church of St. Mark Episcopal in Brooklyn.
I attended Mt. San Jacinto Community College in Menifee, CA and Nassau Community College in Garden City, NY to continue working towards my goal of transferring to a 4 year school and earning my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Harp Performance.
Although I am just moving back home to southern California after nearly a year on Long Island, I am looking forward to performing and sharing my music for more weddings and events. With my stunning bronze harp by my side I very much look forward to making your event as special as it can be, whether it be a brunch for Mother's Day, a small Christmas party, or your dream wedding!
I have a small list of songs that I play on my profile, but that is by no means all of them. If you don't see a song listed there that you were looking for I might be able to learn it for you.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and I'll be more than happy to answer them!
Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you'll consider me for your event!
<3 and harp strings,
Kate Huntley
