Beautiful!

Thank you, Ms. Joan! We are so glad and grateful that you were available to provide the music for our small wedding ceremony. You were kind enough to accept some musical requests ahead of our ceremony and you played them so beautifully. Our family and friends can't stop talking about how wonderful you sounded. You made our ceremony magical.

Joan provided music for the cocktail hour of our annual Christmas party and what a delightful way to set the mood. She played a mixture of holiday and standards and it really added a level of class and "chill" before dinner. Just beautiful!

8/26/22 Wedding

We booked Joan to play at our wedding ceremony and we could not be happier with the outcome. Joan was extremely responsive from the start. We had some song requests that she was happy to accommodate. Walking down the aisle to the sound of the harp was so beautiful. Joan did an amazing job and we highly recommend booking her for your next event!

Pleasant, OnTime, Wonderful

We all enjoyed listening to the wonderful sounds of music Joan played at our reception yesterday. Folks were singing along as they recognized the tunes. My goal was to surround my colleagues with familiar elegant sounds after a long day of work. Goal Met 100% I highly recommend Joan and will keep her in mind for future events for both corporate and personal.

Wonderful music from Joan

Joan was very easy to work with, but what's more she was a great harpist. Everyone was telling me how great she played during my cocktail hour, especially playing a great selection of songs. Although I was the bride and only got to hear her for a few minutes, what I did hear was lovely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist.
