September 10, 2026Beautiful Harp Performance!
Jay is a pleasure to work with! I asked him to perform for my Fondue event at an assisted living community, and he was fantastic! He set the tone for the perfect elegant afternoon, and all of our guests loved his performance. We can't wait to have him back again!

June 11, 2026Responsive, thoughtful and beautiful
He was responsive, thoughtful and set a tone of comfort and peace for a gentleman who was dying. His family stated that Jay provided a " beautiful,peaceful, mediative and emotional session" and that her husband was "deeply calm".
I can thank him enough for that.

April 25, 2026Absolutely wonderful - beautiful music and very independent!
We had Jay perform as the sole musician for our small wedding (both ceremony and reception) and Jay was an absolute godsend! His music was heavenly, and he adapted readily to new transitions on the spot. Most importantly, he was very independent, coming early to familiarize with the venue and get himself setup. Absolutely nothing was needed from me on the actual day, and anyone who's been through a wedding knows how much it means to have one fewer thing to worry about on their big day!
