We hired Lizary Rodriguez to play harp for our October wedding at Saphire Estate in Sharon, and she was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment guests started arriving, h...
er music set a warm, elegant tone that had people stopping to listen and asking us afterward who she was.
Lizary was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making the music feel personal to us. She helped us choose pieces for each part of the ceremony and timed everything perfectly, so the processional and recessional landed exactly right.
Hearing live harp as we walked down the aisle is a memory we’ll keep forever. If you want your ceremony to feel truly special, book Lizary. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

the harp sounded and how much it added to the atmosphere was incredible. It was such a beautiful, elegant, and special touch to our day, and we are so happy we had her there!
Lizary was also AMAZING to work with from start to finish. We had multiple calls and Zooms leading up to the wedding, and she always made sure every detail was taken care of and that we felt completely comfortable and confident going into the day. She even took the time to learn specific songs that we requested ahead of time, which made everything feel that much more personal and special to us.
Beyond being unbelievably talented, you can genuinely tell how much Lizary loves what she does. That passion comes through in her music and in the way she works with her couples. She helped create such a beautiful atmosphere and played such a special part in making our wedding day unforgettable.
We cannot thank Lizary enough and would recommend her over and over again. Having her play at our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made!

eard it the day of the wedding, everyone was blown away by her talent. It was magical. She even played Spanish music as most of our guests were Spanish speakers and it did not go unnoticed by our guests who were thrilled. We would 100% recommend Lizary for any event, not only is she incredibly talented but she is also extremely kind and warm hearted. Thank you Lizary!!!

o helped our special day come together. I requested a bridal song not on her list (Zelda's Lullaby), which she played beautifully. The harp gave the ceremony a special romantic note. She also played while people were gathering and getting seated, much to the delight of the little girls in attendance, and following the ceremony she played during cocktail hour. She took requests and the guests absolutely loved her. Reasonable price, easy to work with as well as providing sample playing on a video call ahead of time, and helpful in making selections. Thank you so much Lizary!
Throughout the 3 years we spent planning our outdoor garden wedding (including a postponement due to COVID) and in the lead-up to the day, Lizary was a delight to work with. Lizary...
’s helpfulness answering questions, efficient communication and overall professionalism gave us complete confidence that she would be fantastic. On top of that, the selection of songs Lizary already knew was impressively extensive and likely more than enough to choose from for anyone’s wedding (and she was happy to learn new songs if we would’ve liked her to). On the wedding day itself, her performance was flawless. Numerous guests complimented Lizary’s playing and how it made a wonderful day even more magical. We could not recommend having a harpist, and specifically Lizary, more strongly to play during anyone’s ceremony and cocktail hour or any other event
Lizary was amazing!! We had her perform for our pre-ceremony and ceremony. Her musicianship and presence set the tone. She was very accommodating and professional in helping me bri...
ng my wedding vision to fruition. We desired a mix of Broadway and Classical songs for our performance. Within the first 10 minutes of meeting with her and hearing some of her selections, my mother and I were sold. She was not originally familiar with my bridal processional selection, but was able to transpose a piano version of the song for her harp. The performance was amazing and guests were in awe. Additionally, my cousin sang a solo at my wedding. Even though she was based in LA, Lizary was able to still meet, coordinate and arrange the music for her virtually. Many of my family and friends had no idea the wedding was the first time the two had performed together in person. It was absolutely beautiful!!! We were so thrilled to work with her, and appreciated her professionalism, musicianship, kindness, and patience throughout the whole process. Anyone who hires her will not be disappointed!!

ostponing for 2 years due to covid. She was so flexible and willing to adjust to our changes. All of our wedding guests told us how much they loved her music. She was able to accomodate our requests for Star Wars music and a song from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, along with other non-traditional music. She was so easy to work with and she is extremely skilled at playing the harp. I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful music and an extremely professional person to work with. Thank you so much for everything, Lizary.

emony! We were outside, surrounded by trees, and her peaceful music filled the air! She is so talented, and has a ton of songs to choose from. She was very organized and helpful during the planning process as well. We met several times on Zoom to discuss the details, and she played for us and we teared up every time- so beautiful! In addition to her musical talents, we truly enjoyed getting to know her as a person as well! We wholeheartedly recommend Lizary for your wedding or any other event! There is a reason she has so many positive reviews- she’s truly that good! She is a wonderfully unique, beautiful, and peaceful addition and you will be so happy you have her!

h her at her studio and had the amazing opportunity to listen to her play before we selected our songs. She had some great recommendations, and we were also able to request certain songs to listen to those too! She even learned a newer Taylor Swift song for us which made it so personal and special!!
Lizary was extremely professional and amazing to work with, not to mention her talent and gift of creating a romantic and beautiful atmosphere for our wedding ceremony. Our guests could not stop commenting on how amazing the ceremony was, specifically the music! We were so lucky to have found her, and so grateful for her patience as we rescheduled our original wedding date due to COVID. Thank you so much Lizary for making our wedding so special!

ze. We had several meetings where she played songs for me over Zoom and her passion for the harp was palpable and really comes through in the music. She helped me curate the perfect playlist and even learned new songs that I requested. I would recommend Lizary to anyone looking to add that special, truly magical touch to their wedding.
Lizary is SO incredibly talented and nice. She also has the best repertoire of songs that I've ever seen played on a harp.
She played at our wedding ceremony at Salve Regina and p...
layed classical music — and did a beautiful job.
Then my absolute favorite part — she came to our cocktail hour and played contemporary music on the harp. I had several guests come up to me saying, "am I hearing the Jurassic Park theme song on the harp?" It was such a fun, subtle touch because it takes a minute to realize that it isn't classical music.
I've had several guests reach out to me about hiring her for their weddings. What a fun twist. It was one of my favorite parts to the day.
BTW, she played Mulan, Jurassic Park, Game of Thrones, Taylor Swift, etc. How cool is that??
I was very pleased with Lizary; she is very talented and can play many styles of music from an extensive repertoire. She played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and received co...

She offered her suggestions for timing, etc. and is obviously quite experienced with weddings. Besides her extensive playlist, one thing that really impressed me is I had a specific song in mind to walk down the aisle to, and she hadn't played it before. Within a day or so of asking her about it, she sent me not even one but two samples of her playing it – one slower, one faster. I was blown away by her talent to learn something so quickly. Working with Lizary was absolutely seamless, and I just wish I could have personally heard more of her playing since I was hidden away until I had to walk! Thanks Lizary!!

scussed what we wanted our wedding day to look like. We were able to select from a prepared list of songs and there was an option to choose other songs that weren’t on the list if we wanted. We also specifically requested different songs for different parts of the ceremony/cocktail hour and Lizary performed them perfectly. Hearing the harp as we walked down the aisle was almost dreamlike. So unique and truly memorable. As the bride and groom we didn’t get to hear too much of Lizary’s playing during the cocktail hour but we heard so many amazing compliments from our guests. One guest even told us they had to go up to Lizary to tell her just how wonderful she was. Overall, we highly recommend Lizary for your wedding, or any occasion for that matter. She’s incredibly talented and lovely to work with.

formance was so moving, and executed flawlessly. she was such a pleasure to work with, and highly dedicated to ensuring the music is to your liking, customizing, and sounding out parts. We had a very specific request for the processional that did not have sheet music available, and Lizary was able to recreate this perfectly. For my husband and I, music is such an integral part of our relationship, so to have someone who is incredibly skilled, passionate and open and to playing Latin music in the harp- meant so much to us. Thank you Lizary for helping us make our wedding day such a special event!!

her play on two different occasions so that we could first just hear her play in general and then later hear her play the songs we chose. She learned a song for me that she hadn't played at an event yet. She was accommodating and easy to get in touch with the whole time. I got SO many compliments on her abilities and beautiful music on the day of my wedding. I highly recommend Lizary to anyone looking for a harpist in the MA/RI areas!
