Sarah is very professional. She is a excellent harp player. She definitely added class to the party.
Would definitely hire her again.
Having Sarah perform at our wedding added an unbelievable element to the entire ceremony. She took the time to setup a Zoom call before the event to get to know us and talk about the ceremony, what songs we wanted her to play, and even was thoughtful enough to ask about the color scheme/theme of the wedding so she could dress accordingly.
Everyone at the wedding was so impressed with her performance and my wife and I feel so lucky to have found her. If you are thinking about having a harpist at your event, Sarah should absolutely be your first choice!
Sarah showed up on time and played a wide variety of music during the event. Guests were very excited and loved all the music.
we had a last-minute 'elopement style' wedding and thought live music would be great to have. choosing Sarah and her harp was the best decision we made in planning! her playing really brought the ceremony together and made most of the guests cry. it was spot on!
communication with Sarah was great and easy as well and she is very thorough and meticulous. thank you Sarah for joining us and we appreciate you. #fairyTaleElopement
Everyone enjoyed the performance and the range of music she played. We would definitely have her again
