10 out of 10 in every way

Lydia was a delight to work with. She is a very talented musician and blended in perfectly with the other musicians we had present at our event. She was the perfect touch to our evening and I would recommend booking her time and time again. Thanks, Lydia.

The Best Part Of Our Wedding Ceremony Was Lydia

Lydia, is very communicative, she is beyond talented! All my guests at my wedding ceremony thought she was just a recording until they walked into the space and saw her playing. She set the mood for the day and was able to play anything I requested. Truly amazing and friendly! I cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent service & beautiful music

Lydia was a last minute addition to my 50th birthday celebration when our other musician cancelled. She showed up on time was very affordable and played exceptionally well. My guests loved her and I will certainly use her services again.

Exceptional Harpist!

Ms. Haywood, was professional, reasonably priced, and very talented. She was prepared, arrived on time, all the guest inquired about her services. I am so happy, we picked her, her music was extremely beautiful. We will hire her to play beautiful music again. She has an amazing personality as well. She honored my late mother, for that I am grateful.
