Mother’s Day 2025!

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.

Wedding Harpist

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.

What to expect

I arrive at least 30 minutes prior to my downbeat, always dress appropriately for the event, and schedule my breaks around the event schedule. I usually take a 10-15 minute break every 45 minutes.

About

An award-winning and versatile performer, Peggy has over 25 years of professional experience on the stage, screen, and in the recording studios. A graduate of UCLA with a BA in Theater Arts and Music, Peggy has performed for such notables as Barack Obama, Donald and Melania Trump, Gov. Jerry Brown, Gov.

I require at least a 6’x6’ performance area.
If there a numerous steps or stairs, I will need help with load-in.

For sun outdoors, I require cover, usually a market umbrella will suffice.
