September 15, 2019Beautiful harpist for our wedding!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Skyla. We communicated solely by email and everything was flawless. She even let me change songs a few times and was so kind and patient with me during the planning process. Her music was so elegant for my wedding ceremony and it sounded like a fairytale.

September 9, 2019Excellent Harpist for our Wedding
We hired Skyla to play during our ceremony at the Tarrytown House Estates in New York. She was extremely professional and versatile. Skyla played a variety of beautiful music, from Pachelbel's classic Cannon in D to Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years", to Elvis's "Can't help falling in love", and of course, the Bridal March. Everything worked out perfectly - the gorgeous sound of the harp permeated throughout the garden for all of our guests, and even for other people who were walking around the site, to hear. I would highly recommend Skyla. She really is fabulous at her craft, and she made our day all the more special.

Skyla was such a beautiful touch to our wedding ceremony! She played beautifully and was able to offer us a combination of both classical and contemporary music and even offered to learn music by request. We got plenty of compliments from our guests about our ceremony music and Skyla was very prompt and easy to reach leading up to our wedding.

August 11, 2018Skyla played beautifully for our wedding!
This review is long overdue! My husband & I have been married 3 years now. Skyla played beautifully at our wedding & our guests commented endlessly about her playing as well. In fact we just celebrated our anniversary & her playing came up in conversation. The conversation reminded me that I still had not posted a review. Skyla made our day even more perfect with her wonderful playing! I'm grateful she was part of our special day!
