October 24, 2022Fantastic
Kristie was fantastic! We hired her to play top 40's for a product promo event and she was great with communication, showed up on-time, was enthusiastic about the attire we proposed for the event, and played the requested genre beautifully. Would definitely recommend her!

October 17, 2022You have found your harpist! Hire her!
We Kristie for our wedding ceremony. She was just great, we got a lot of compliments, she is is very talented! She asked us for some our favorite music, which we know our taste is very eclectic to say the least! She was attentive to our request, and she even threw down a harp remix of a drum and bass track that my wife loves! She listened to the track, wrote the sheet music, we are just so glad that we have her as a part of our memories! So, yea- YOU SHOULD HIRE HER AND STOP LOOKING!
THANK YOU SO MUCH KRISTIE!!! YOU HELPED OUR VISION FOR OUR PERFECT WEDDING COME TO LIFE!

October 6, 2022Kristie is the best! She’ll elevate any special occasion!
Kristie was so attentive and communicated every step of the way! Easy booking, super easy to talk with, and her harp playing was magical! We had a big mix of songs we asked her to play, and she delivered on our wedding day! If we ever need a harpist for an occasion in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Thanks, Kristie!!!!!

February 8, 2022Kristie is like an angel...
Kristie was the consummate professional. She arrived early, was beautifully dressed, and added a classic flair to our Awards’ Reception. She played classical as well as popular tunes, and the guests were very pleased throughout the night. I would not hesitate to hire her again. She is like an angel when she plays, and has a lovely demeanor.

Thank you! I am so pleased that you and your guests enjoyed my music for your daughter’s wedding at the Paris. It was a fun surprise when the guests started singing along with “My Heart Will Go On.”

Influences and inspiration
I have studied with wonderful, internationally respected harp teachers. I completed my Doctor of Music degree in harp performance at Indiana University, where I studied with Distinguished Professor Susann McDonald. I carry on the tradition of harp playing in the method of Henriette Renie, a French harpist and composer for the harp.
I received her undergraduate training with Dr. Carrol McLaughlin, renowned jazz harpist and director of HarpFusion. Prior teachers include Patricia Harris, principal harpist of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and harpist of the TSO Harp Trio, and Elizabeth Blakeslee, second harpist of the National Symphony Orchestra.
I play a broad range of music, from R&B to jazz to pop.
Setup requirements
I bring all my own equipment with me.
I can bring my own bench or can use one that matches the chairs at the venue.
I can bring my own mic and/or amp upon request. (This is generally only needed at indoor events.)
