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.

Professional, Adaptable, and Amazing

We are so happy to have hired Martha for our special day. The weather took a turn for the worse and she was adaptable when we had to change ceremony location. Incredibly professional as she arrived early to tune and prepare for the service. Her pieces were gorgeous and many of the attendees were commenting on how lovely it was to have live music. I highly recommend her services if you're in the Chicago -land area!

Guest musician at church service

Martha is charming and a breeze to work with. Not only did she choose and provide a prelude, a postlude and an anthem for our church service, she accompanied the congregation on every hymn. They were so enamored with her performance they're already asking me if we can have her back again! Will definitely invite her so.
