Outstanding performance!

We are so pleased Erin was available for our winter employee appreciation event. Because of the theme of the event, we really wanted a special musician and having Erin was perfect. She is truly a talented and gifted musician and her song choices were phenomenal. We received so many compliments from our employees about her performance. So happy she was such a huge part of our event!

Most beautiful & magical event for a grieving family

My father's Celebration of Life was Saturday, January 14th, 2023. The whole family was scared, sick, apprehensive and about a dozen other adjectives. I wasn't much help in the planning process as opposed to the other siblings because I couldn't stop crying whenever we got into any details. The one thing I insisted on was enlisting the help of a harpist instead of the sounds of a crusty ol' organ which I've never liked. Erin Wood contacted me and we got everything set up. The attendees are STILL talking about it. It was gentle, angelic, lovely, calming.. everything Dad would have loved. It was perfect. She played Dad's favorite song, Claire de Lune, as a finale to the service. As the last notes hung in the air in the perfect stillness, I felt like I was in a different world. Thank you, Erin, for making my father's sendoff magical. You have an amazing gift.

Perfect touch to our event

We hired Erin to play the harp for our wine reception to end our event. We received nothing but positive feedback from our attendees about Erin, and the group thought it was the perfect touch for the reception.

Blown away!

We recently hired Erin to play to residents at a high luxury apartment complex. She played beautifully to them as they sipped wine and watched from their balcony's. I can not believe how well she played. Residents were crying and were so grateful for her. Highly recommend her and will book her in the future!

Erin Wood-beautiful, inspiring music for our son’s wedding

I was thrilled to find GIG Salad Performing musicians site. On their list of performers, I found Erin Wood, KU harp professor, Kansas & Missouri performer. I hoped to find a harpist for our son’s small outside wedding, but knew that she or he would have to travel to Junction City, KS. Erin’s was willing, and her playing is exceptional, as is her repertoire!!! Being from Nebraska, her website, with beautifully laid out song samples, made choosing music delightful and smooth.
Ms. Wood went out of her way to email and offer extended music choices, even tracking down Saint Saen’s “The Swan” transcribed for harp. It, like every piece she played was gorgeous and inspiring. At our reception, she delighted our granddaughter’s with Disney show tunes, letting them guess the movie. Erin has a wonderful Celtic collection and used one of the tunes to keep the girls busy with a freeze game, letting them move to the music, while enjoying its beauty. She was a tremendous gift to our celebration, a gracious and accomplished musician. We will long remember her playing and caring spirit.

Inspiring Evening

Erin did a fantastic job of engaging with the audience, and played beautifully. She even suggested, creatively, an order of program that fit with our agenda perfectly. Many approached me after, commenting on what a great evening it was.
