MarkOHarps

Mark was professional and entertaining. Very pleased with his music for our awards ceremony.

Beautiful music and easy to work with!

I don't mean to keep harping on the event, but Mark was just what we envisioned for our Senior Living Art Show.

Arrived on time, very professional, great musician!

We had a last minute cancellation for our harpist for our wedding ceremony, and with 1 day notice Mark saved the day, and not only played beautiful music during our ceremony, but showed up to the rehearsal to make sure everything went flawless and all the details were worked out ahead of time. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!

Cocktail hour and Arrival of Bridal Party and Bride Introduction for wedding 12/11/21 At The Citron was amazing!

We hired Mark for a memorial service. He was easy to communicate with and very professional. He personally visited the site the day prior, to ensure everything will go smoothly the next day. We wanted the event atmosphere to be light rather than heavy and sad, his music choices made everything just right. When meeting with him, he told us that he has been playing harp for many years. Now that he's retired, he can dedicate to his time to his passion. He's not only nice, but also very experienced. We will definitely use Mark again in the future.

Mark was excellent to work with before our wedding, especially when it came to being flexible with all the complications COVID brought with it, including a date change. His music choice was exactly what we wanted for our black tie cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and Mark performed like a true professional. Thank you Mark!

I am understanding of things happen in life. I was nervous booking a vendor from this website because I never did this before. Was in contact since February 2021, The event was for my daughter‘s baby shower, her first baby. She’s been working hard and I thought that having a surprise at her baby shower, a harpist would be something exciting. I had called due to the fact that I was nervous and talk to someone at GigSalad. They told me that the harpist had some good ratings and never had an issue. everything should be fine. now I’m 22 days from my event and I have no harpist. I was just notified by email today that he cannot come due to a medical condition. Which I understand, but there should be some kind of help with trying to find a replacement. And due to the fact that it’s now only 22 days away it’s more expensive, last minute of course. The thing is I felt like something wasn’t right from the beginning. I did not realize he was traveling from Virginia. When I found out I contacted him and he told me he booked a hotel and the distance was not an issue. I would’ve booked someone closer to the area if I would’ve known again this was the first time that I used this website and he also reassured me that there would be no problem. again I understand the medical condition. just seems a little coincidental. I looked and found other websites that offer the same kind of service but with guarantees of help if something like this arises. I wouldn’t recommend this website for any kind of special event.

Mark was exactly what we needed for our event. He played a range of music in the background for a chocolate pickup that we were hosting. He was on-time, very kind, and extremely professional. In addition, he plays absolutely beautifully. If you are looking for a high-quality, professional harpist, please look no further than Mark. I am lucky to have discovered a true gem. We will definitely be working with him again for future events.

Mark played for the viewing of my dear friends’ mother who passed just two days before Thanksgiving. She entrusted me with planning the details of finding a harpist and Mark did not disappoint! His professional demeanor, his kindness and empathy and his angelic playing were all the things she wanted to invoke the spirit of who her mom was. I would definitely use Mark again. He was on time, professional, empathetic and talented!

Mark played effortlessly and very professional. Beautiful music and wonderful presentation - well organized and structured performance.

Mark was very easy to work with as a surprise for our family during our annual Fam Jam Weekend. I booked Mark to arrive early in the morning on Saturday at 7am. He was on time and ready to go. I wanted to start our weekend off right with a relaxing morning atmosphere and it was so great to see everyone's faces when they came down or up stairs to see the harp and hear it. Definitely set the tone for the day! He actually stayed a little bit after as well and allowed our children to play the harp as he instructed them. Priceless moments. Will book with him again for other events I have in the DC MD VA area!

Our experience with Mark was so enjoyable . He was on time and very professional. Everyone loved the way he played the harp!!! He is amazing!!
We will be recommending him to all our friends:)

Mark's music is beautiful. He played relaxing music for a yoga class that I taught with meditation music at the end. I would like to hire him quarterly to do this. It was such a success. The student's loved it. He played a bit of Christmas music as the students were leaving and mingling after class. I would highly recommend him. He is quiet and friendly and very professional!

Mark brought so much magic to our gathering everyone loved it !! Highly highly recommend !!!

Mark provided the music for our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. What a wonderful touch to the event! Mark was easy to work with and responsive to messages. The set list was perfect - I could listen to him play all day! Everyone, including the children (the youngest was mesmerized by the harp) enjoyed the music. I would gladly work with him again!

Mark was professional and easy to communicate with.

Mark was such a great addition to our baby shower. He plays beautifully and went above an beyond with the musical selections. Everything was perfect and we cannot thank him enough!

I was completely satisfied with MarkOHarps performance at my sister-in-law's funeral. Mark is an amazing artist and very professional. His rates are fair, and his suggestion on songs were perfect for the occasion. I would definitely re-book, and refer this outstanding performer to friends and family.

MarkOHarps did an excellent job playing the harp for one of our residents 106th birthday party! The harp is her favorite instrument, and now I know why :)

Thank you for a great performance.

The process of finding Mark was simple and efficient. He arrived and set up at the location with plenty of time and he set the wonderful tone for the brunch. He presented the expectant mom with a personal lullaby which he had composed.
He was a wonderful addition to a memorable event
Thank you Mark!

The selections were so appropriate for the occasion. We buried my grandmother with heavenly sounds surrounding her during the viewing. Many of my relatives commented that they wanted a harp at their services when it's their time. Thank you Mark. We laid her to rest in celestial peace.
