Cancelled a week before wedding

Booked her in May, confirmed again 2 weeks before the wedding and was told everything is good. A week and 2 days before the wedding she cancelled because she had to work. Thankfully, gigsalad refunded my money but having to find someone last minute has been atrocious.

Amazing Harpist

Martha was a great addition to our cocktail hour. Communication with her was seamless, as was her set up / take down. If I ever have another event requiring a harpist, I will definitely want Martha playing.

Fantastic

Martha was wonderful! She played beautifully for our Gala of over 425 people. We received so many compliments on our choice of music for the event. Martha was so kind and arrived ahead of time to set up! I would call her again for my events and if you are reading this you should book her immediately! Thank you Martha!!

Outstanding Harpist!

Martha Mapes, is an exceptional harpist! She arrived early, she met for instruction and understanding, and she played beautifully as she set the tone for the Doctoral Celebratory Luncheon. She is 5 Stars and s wonderful personality.
