Peggy is lovely. She arrived on time and played very well. I was able to communicate with her before the event, she took requests. She made the event really special. She plays beautifully. I will definitely hire her again. She exceeded our expectations.

Response from Peggy Skomal Harpist & Ensembles:
Thank-you so much, it was my pleasure to play for the beautiful tribute to your sister. The songs requested were perfect and I was very moved.
Peace and blessings to your family.
Peggy's harp music was amazing for the funeral service that we had. She was able to learn requested songs, and played them beautifully. She was punctual (actually early) and was able to stay later when the service ran a little long.
I highly recommend Peggy for your event, hopefully it is a happier event than a funeral. In the event that I need a harpist in the future, I’ll definitely be reaching out to Peggy.

Thanks Muna! Good luck with your amazing art exhibit!
Peggy was amazing. She helped in creating a peaceful and classic ambiance for my sister's baby shower. We made a few special requests and even asked for a specific song that she learned and performed for us the day of the baby shower- it made my sister's day.

Thank-you Natalya! Your house was full of love and it was my pleasure to add to your wedding.
Peggy's harp was a beautiful musical instrument to see and hear. Her extensive repertoire, professional look and attitude made the planning of the event go smoothly. Her harp music was the finishing touch to my mom's funeral. Especially since my mom loved all things of Angels.
