A wonderful addition to the wedding ceremony

Molly played at my niece’s wedding last weekend. I hired her as my gift to the couple. I received so many compliments on Molly’s selections as well as the atmosphere she and her harp created. Molly sent me musical suggestions and then a follow up email shortly before the event. She arrived early, tuned her harp and the ceremony was enhanced with her music. Thank you Molly!

What a joy!

Molly was amazing to work with. We discussed many options during our consultation and she was able to make helpful suggestions based on her experience. The bride was a harpist as well so was particular about who she chose to provide music for her wedding ceremony. Molly is an accomplished harpist, highly professional, and organized. We would recommend her to all.
