Melody is Outstanding

Melody is a star! We will cherish the memory of her beautiful music forever. Having her as part of our wedding day truly elevated the entire experience. We had an intimate ceremony, and I was getting ready just one room over when she began playing. Her music was gorgeous, calming, and set the perfect tone for our day. Her eclectic repertoire allowed each guest to have music tailored to their musical interests. The Beatles played as I had my first look with my Dad. My Mom was able to have The Wedding Song play as she requested. My groom was overjoyed to hear Jimmy Buffett as our ceremony completed. I could listen to Melody play all day. I appreciate that she dressed the part for our ceremony. Everyone enjoyed meeting her on the wedding day! I hope to see Melody in the future or hear her play beautiful music live once again! We are extremely grateful to Melody for working with us.

Melody is magic!

Melody was fantastic. It was a party in our home and she made the whole evening feel warm and magical. I can't wait to have another party so that I can ask her to come and play for us again!

Melody was fantastic!

Melody performed during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and we could not have been happier with the experience! During the months leading up to the wedding, she was very responsive to all of our questions and helped us choose the right music. She arrived early on the day of and performed beautifully - our guests were raving about her! We loved working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a harpist.

Thanks Leslie! It was an absolute joy to play for your wedding. You were both so happy, the whole place was buzzing. Your families were very sweet and you chose a gorgeous setting, with the mountains behind you at the Crest Pavillon. I have a picture to send you that I took through the harp! Enjoy your bliss!
