About this vendor
It is often said that wedding guests remember two things: the food and the music. Live music can set the atmosphere for a beautiful, elegant, and unique ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception; and what better instrument than the harp, the instrument of angels! Abigail Stoner has been playing professionally for over six years, and is classically trained from a prestigious conservatory. She has played for countless couples on their wedding day and always provides punctual and professional services. She plays a wide array of musical genres including classical, pop, broadway, classic rock, alternative, indie, jazz, and much more! She takes special requests as well, in case there is a specific song you're dreaming to hear on your wedding day!

On the big day, we faced unexpected challenges with the weather, as it was cold and rainy. We were incredibly grateful that she was not only willing but enthusiastic to play outside, and her performance added an ethereal touch to our outdoor ceremony. The rain miraculously paused just in time for us to continue with the ceremony outdoors, and it felt like pure magic.
It was a joy to hear our guests not only appreciate her beautiful harp melodies but also recognize the Legend of Zelda theme she played. This personalized touch made our ceremony all the more special.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day unforgettable and unique. Your music created the perfect atmosphere and left a lasting impression on all who attended. We couldn't be happier!
