Overview
When you’re planning an important event, experience matters! With over 30 years performing in the Southern California area, I bring unmatched versatility and polish to my harp performance while still in tune to new music and creativity. I also add cello, flute, guitar, sax, percussion, you name it, to enhance your event for a bigger sound. From Swift to Bach, I can do it all. Let me make your vision a musical reality! Fully licensed with COI. I can amplify and plugin to ensure the glorious sound of the harp carries throughout.

Peggy was amazing at my wedding. Very easy to work with, very talented, had great suggestions for music choices for the ceremony and the cocktail hour and delivered amazingly. The harpist was one of the vendors I was the most excited about for my wedding and I am very happy that I got to work with Peggy.
