ppropriate for our smaller/intimate wedding reception.
Katya completely understood what we were looking for and absolutely delivered a 10/10 throughout the entire process (from song selection to the actual performance for our reception).
AREV is so incredibly talented and we are so beyond thrilled they were able to perform at our wedding reception. We cannot recommend them enough and we are so sure they’ll make your special moment even more special.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing musicians, your professionalism, and your expertise! We know you’ll continue to amaze everyone.

Top Notch from start to finish.
Let me start by saying, I’m a musician who has performed at over 300 weddings. In addition, this was not our first marriage, thus making many o...
f the standard wedding repertoire a ‘no-go’ for us.
We were having a very intimate wedding with 14 people total, and wanted a harpist for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Picking music turned out to be more difficult for me as a musician than I thought. Katya made the process very easy, and helped ease our minds with the selections. Her communication was great, and she made sure that all of the necessary details were covered in a professional and prompt manner.
As for our harpist, she was phenomenal. She came very early to set up, played beautifully, and was perfect! Her selections were impeccably timed for the ceremony start time, which is a must for me !! I was able to relax in the room next door and enjoy her music prior to the ceremony.
I would highly recommend working with AREV Music Group.
