It was always my dream to have a solo harpist for our destination vineyard wedding and as soon as I listened to samples of Aysha’s music, I knew she was the perfect choice. She is incredibly talented, graceful, and her pricing is very reasonable. Our ceremony was so beautiful and dreamy, and her music played a huge part in creating that atmosphere. She was also so helpful in personalizing the music for each part of the ceremony, which made everything first even more special. Highly recommend!

The Mountain Terrace has had the pleasure of working several weddings with Aysha and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Not only is she an amazing and talented musician, she’s incredibly organized and helpful during the planning process and on wedding days. Her repertoire is expansive and she will even learn new pieces if couples have special requests. She always arrives on-site prepared and goes over cues with us to make sure the ceremony is seamless and beautifully executed. If you’re looking for a harpist for your wedding, Aysha is a great choice!

We loved having Aysha play the harp at our wedding. When booking, she was so responsive & answered all of our questions quickly. She had such a large song selection to choose from, and made great song recommendations. It was so beautiful to walk down the aisle while she was playing! We’re so happy to have had her there!

Aysha is magnificent!! She plays beautifully and has a large array of song options, and is willing to learn new ones with enough notice. I cannot recommend her enough. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to chat with her day of. Reviews from my attendees were also glowing.

Aysha was amazing on our wedding day! She really elevated our event with her presentation ie how she dressed and her harp is gorgeous as well as how she played. I loved listening to her as I find it transcendent! Communication before the wedding was fantastic. She always emailed back in a timely manner and answered any and all questions that we had before the wedding. We felt confident that she would rock it and she did!! Definitely hire Aysha! You won't regret it!

Aysha played our wedding ceremony and the following cocktail hour. To say she was a highlight would be an understatement. She was professional, flexible, and very easy to work with. She helped us pick out our songs during the ceremony and played a beautiful wedding selection before and after. My only regret is that I couldn’t sit down and listen to her play for longer like the rest of my guests. We would not hesitate to hire Aysha for another event. While we don’t plan on getting married again, I told my wife to book Aysha for my funeral. Thanks for making a special day magical!

A huge Thank You to Aysha for her spectacular playing at our wedding. The beauty of her music created an ambiance that we'll always remember fondly, matched by her elegance and grace at fitting in to the event's flow. It was seamless, and almost like she could read our minds :) We are lucky and grateful!

I first met Aysha as colleagues, and over the years I've worked with her, she has been one of the most capable, meticulous, reliable people I've ever met. When I asked her to play at my ceremony, she brought a whole new level of professionalism to the table. Her incredible wealth of knowledge from all her professional experiences over the years was very apparent, and she was so easy to work with. She guided us through the whole process -- including preparing a setlist for us to vet, figuring out the appropriate schedule / layout / dress code, learning two brand-new pieces (which she transcribed for harp herself after I gave her the original non-harp recordings), and more. Her professionalism extends to her playing, which is only matched by her world-class skill at the harp. For example, unrehearsed things were bound to happen, and she handled them all impeccably. Her harp music was the absolute perfect, elegant, beautiful -- and as an added bonus, stress-free! -- touch to our ceremony, and if I could do it all again, I wouldn't have it any other way.
