I don’t even know where to begin! I had such an amazing experience with Lizary. She was so helpful, professional, and had a great variety of selection for music choices. She was very easy to work with and I highly recommend!
Lizary is an exceptional addition to your ceremony. I highly recommend booking her. She has a great personality and plays beautiful music on her harp. A lot of my family and friends said their favorite part of the ceremony and cocktail hour was the harp. Thank you again for making our day extra special!
Lizary is an absolute legend. Her talent is unmatched, and she made our wedding ceremony more intimate and special than we could have imagined. Her song suggestions were exactly what we were looking for, and her catalog is massive. If you're looking for a harpist for your special day, Lizary is the one for you.
Throughout the wedding planning process, Lizary was punctual, professional and extremely helpful! She has an extensive list of song options and even learned a few new songs for our big day. Her performance was the highlight of our ceremony and multiple guests remarked on how incredible her music sounded. We couldn’t imagine finding a better harpist for our wedding and we are so thankful for getting to work with Lizary.
We worked with Lizary for our wedding ceremony.She provided our guests with amplified harp music for the time prior to ceremony as well as the music for processional and recessional as part of the actual ceremony. She played beautifully and we received many compliments on her behalf. We will definitely be recommending her services as a harpist to anyone looking for one.
Lizary played at my wedding this past weekend and was AMAZING! We hired her for our ceremony and for cocktail hour and our guests can not stop talking about how amazing she was! We are so pleased that we were able to find/hire her. I would book her again in a heartbeat!
Lizary was a pleasure to work with! Not only is she exceptionally skilled (including incorporating percussion into her harp playing for upbeat songs), but she is a lovely person who 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 bring 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!!
Lizary was an absolute dream harpist for our wedding! She captured our vision so eloquently for our ceremony and cocktail reception. Her professional demeanor carried through from our first meeting to the end of the evening. The music sets the tone for a wedding, and Lizary helped create a magical scene that will forever be in our memories! Thank you, Lizary!
Lizary is the sweetest person I ever met. She was easy to work with and even learned a few songs to be played during the ceremony. Her harp is just beautiful and HUGE! All of our guests were just blown away with how she played!
Lizary is an amazing harpist, and she is so easy to work with. We originally booked her in early 2020 for our wedding that was supposed to take place that spring, but we ended up postponing 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.
We loved having Lizary play for our ceremony, our families and friends thought it was a great touch. Lizary is very responsive and professional. Very easy to work with! Would recommend
We contacted Lizary last minute after another vendor cancelled with us, and she did a FANTASTIC job! She already has an extensive repertoire, but she was also willing to learn many new songs for us, even with very little warning. She was reliably friendly, calming, and professional. We got tons of compliments from our guests after our wedding! I cannot recommend Lizary enough!
Lizary is amazing! She never failed to check in on us to make sure everything is in order for the songs she'll be playin on our ceremony. she made our ceremony sound so divine and heavenly! Definitely the best harpist out there!
Lizary's music was a huge hit at our wedding, and was the perfect sound to go along with the atmosphere we hoped to create for an idyllic wedding at an apple orchard. She played a number of classics, as well as some requested modern pop/movie soundtrack songs to keep folks entertained until the ceremony.
She also took the time to meet with us well in advance to do some planning. Would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist on their wedding day. Thanks again Lizary!
We asked Lizary to perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and she exceeded every expectation we had. Her music was absolutely beautiful, and we had multiple people come to tell us afterward that they wanted to hire a harpist for their wedding after hearing Lizary play. Beyond that, Lizary was extremely accommodating, even going so far as to learn particular songs that were special to us as a couple. We could not recommend her highly enough.
It was truly wonderful to have Lizary be such a special part of our wedding ceremony! She puts her heart and soul in her music, and it really set the tone for such a beautiful ceremony! 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!
We are so incredibly lucky to have found Lizary for our wedding! We had her play during the ceremony (as guests came in, processional, recessional, and as guests left).
We met with 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!
As a professional musician in the Boston area, I have very high expectations when I hire fellow musicians. Needless to say, Lizary Rodriguez exceeded those expectations. Her passion for performing is reflected in the way she plays - Full of the life, fervor, and raw emotion necessary to elevate a wedding to that higher level.
I will forever be grateful to Lizary for all that she has done to make our wedding such a memorable experience. 5/5 would hire again in an instant.
Working with Lizary was an absolute joy! Our wedding truly would not have been as special if it weren't for her. Not only was her music spectacular, but working with her was a breeze. 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 played 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 compliments from many of our guests on her music. She was very easy to deal with and really added a wonderful dimension to our event. Gracias Lizary!
Lizary is so talented and her music was beautiful for our ceremony and picture hour. We were lucky to book Lizary for our small wedding during this pandemic; she was professional, responded quickly, super flexible, willing to learn new songs specifically the wedding - which we didn't need to do because of her vast song list. Her music was so beautiful and was the perfect touch for our ceremony. We highly recommend Lizary for weddings or any event - you cannot go wrong!
Lizary was amazing! So easy to work with, prompt to respond, and her music was beautiful and added so much to out wedding day. Highly recommend her!!!
Lizary is so talented and her music was just beautiful. We were lucky enough to book Lizary for our small wedding during this pandemic. She was professional, responsive, has a huge song list, and was willing to learn new songs specifically for our wedding. Her music made our ceremony feel so special. We would highly, highly recommend Lizary for weddings or any event.
Lizary was patient, sweet, unassuming, and provided the most exquisite harp music at my daughter’s wedding. I can not recommend her highly enough. We were right by the ocean and even when we were down on the rocks away from the house, you could still hear the harp music drifting on the wind. It was truly magical. Thank you for making our wedding so special Lizary.
We chose Lizary to add a little something extra to our wedding ceremony, and she absolutely did not disappoint! We originally booked her for our wedding in May, but when we had to cancel and reschedule, she was super helpful in accommodating us in her schedule . The whole process from booking her to the actual wedding day went so smoothly, and she was always prompt in responding to me and helping with any questions I had. My guests had so many good things to say about her, and the music she provided really completed the whole ceremony, it was absolutely beautiful. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!!
I am so lucky we found Lizary to play during our ceremony at Rosecliff in Newport, RI. Right off the bat she was incredibly friendly and responsive and eager to customize our ceremony.
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!!
Lizary is amazing. She was the harpist for our wedding this past June. She took the time to help us choose every song we needed for the ceremony. Lizary also has a big selection of songs that she can play during your cocktail hour- from today’s hits to the classics.. rock. I could listen to her play all day! Thank you Lizary!
Lizary played absolutely beautiful music for our wedding ceremony! She is not only extremely talented, but also creative and open to all of our ideas. She has an amazing repertoire and made us feel comfortable in asking for whatever we wanted.
Lizary was the harpist who performed at our wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was fantastic to work with. She played samples of songs and worked with us to pick which songs would be perfect for our ceremony. On our wedding day, Lizary did not disappoint. The music was beautiful and all of our guests loved the special added touch of having a harpist. I would highly recommend Lizary to anyone planning their wedding!
Lizary made my wedding dreams come true! She was easy to work with and gave our wedding the light airy romantic atmosphere we wanted. Her duet with a violinist made it even more magical. Her skills had my mother cry tears of joy at our first meeting. Absolutely beautiful and talented. It was a pleasure to work with Lizary and highly recommend her for your musical needs!
Lizary is an amazing harpist! When we first met with her, she spent over an hour with us playing different songs for us to figure out what we wanted for the ceremony. Her music brought us to tears so we knew that she was the musician for us! We thoroughly enjoyed her music and so did all of our guests.
Lizary's music made our rehearsal dinner over the top perfect!! She is the BEST of the BEST!
Lizary was a dream to work with. She played the harp for our wedding ceremony and it was even better than we expected. We were unsure what we wanted and left some of the music up to Lizary to play. Her music selection was perfect and our guests raved about her throughout the night. I would get married again just to have Lizary play for us :)
Lizary played the harp for our wedding and we cannot say enough good things about our experience. We had a very nice meeting via Skype where Lizary played a sample for us and we discussed 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.
Lizary played during our wedding ceremony and was incredible. She is so sweet and talented. I got so many compliments on her abilities and beautiful music and highly recommend Lizary to anyone looking for a harpist in the area!
Lizary's performance during our wedding reception was exactly what I dreamed of. She performed the waltz my father and I danced - and it was just perfect. She went above and beyond to make sure she had the right music at the right tempo, she even sent us a recording with plenty of time in advance! She was very quick to respond to messages, punctual, and just a joy to work with. I highly recommend her!
Lizary performed during our wedding ceremony as well as our cocktail hour. She was AMAZING!!! From the first moment that I heard her play, my husband and I were blown away. Not only with her unbelievable talent but also her knowledge of ANY song we requested. She can play everything from Cannon in D to Bruno Marr "Marry You". The guests LOVED her music and are still talking about her today.
Every step of the way she was the vendor that was most responsible and professional! It was TRULY a pleasure having her as part of our special day!!!
Lizard played for our intimate church ceremony with custom list requested by us of Latin music. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and memorable experience. Her harp performance 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!!
Lizary is an amazing harpist. She was referred to me by a colleague and I am so glad that it worked out because she is a fantastic person to work with. Lizary had us come listen to 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!
Lizary was the harpist at my best friend's daughter's wedding on September 21, 2018. She was totally amazing. Her music was very refreshing. A total joy to have as part of this special celebration.
Lizary was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her for any event. Derrick and I are so grateful that you were able to share our special day with us. Thank you so much again.
Lizary played at my daughter's wedding ceremony at The Grand View. She was simply Amazing! She is a very professional lady. Easy to work with. Patient. Helps advise you and picks up on exactly what you want so quickly. She is a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Lizary was professional, talented and so very easy to work with. She added the perfect touch to my daughters ceremony! I would highly recommend Lizary if you are looking for something unique and special.
We cannot say enough amazing things about Lizary. From the moment we met her we knew she was the perfect harpist for our garden wedding! She is incredibly talented and fun to work with. She has a great list of songs to choose from, from classical to current, and is willing to work with you if you have additional requests. She is responsive to emails and was willing to meet with us more than once. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire her, she was the cherry on top of a perfect ceremony!
There aren’t enough wonderful things that I can say about Lizary. My husband and I got married this June and we wanted to create an experience for our guests that was both unique and unforgettable. Lizary’s beautiful harp music was exactly that.
Yes, Lizary can play the classics quite beautifully… but my husband and I are self-proclaimed nerds. During our initial meeting, when Lizary played (on the harp, mind you) Superman’s March, Star Wars and even Metallica, we were sold! Our wedding guests were simply blown away by Lizary’s talent.
I implore you to hire Lizary for your event. Yes, she does play the classics, so you don’t have to be a Star Wars fan to love her music. She is also such a wonderful person to meet and work with. Thank you Lizary, for making our wedding truly unique!
We hired Lizary to play as our harpist for our wedding ceremony in Boston, MA. Lizary was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! She was extremely timely in her responses, professional and a pleasure to work with. We got so many compliments from our wedding guests on her performance and continue to hear rave reviews. We had an initial in-person consultation with her in September during which time she listened to all of our requests and concerns. She helped guide us and offered professional and helpful suggestions for the music selection. We highly recommend Lizary and would absolutely hire her again!
Lizary was lovely to work with! We met in hr home studio for a free consultation before booking her services, to go over some of her repertory from previous weddings and discuss what we might want for our own wedding. She was professional and warm, even giving me a copy of her Latin music CD when she found out I was Puerto Rican as well and missed hearing music from home. I was busy getting ready and missed out on the music she played before the ceremony, but the moment I walked down the aisle and throughout our ceremony her music was the perfect, subtle bit of magic on an already amazing day.
Lizary was amazing!! Working with her was everything we dreamed! We had the vision to have strings at our wedding and Lizary’s harp was better than I could have imagined! She played the ceremony and the cocktail hour and all of our guests were impressed!
From the beginning of the planning process she sat down with us to ask what type of music we wanted, she met with us and played us some songs, and she even learned a few new songs for us!
Lizary was responsive, professional and an overall joy to work with! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful music at their wedding.
Lizary performed on her harp in our wedding ceremony and during cocktail hour and I couldn't have asked for more in a musical genius. She is such a wonderful person and so very talented at her craft. My walk down the aisle was extra special because the song was a surprise to my groom. Very very emotional and special, it really made the day so memorable. Lizary's passion for her work is so obvious in her delivery, and having a harpist at our venue really just elevated everyone's experience to the next level. I loved having Lizary as part of our big day and couldn't be happier with her performance. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone!!
Exceptionally talented, graceful, and elegant are some of the words that describe Dr.Lizary. She played at our wedding and guests were coming up to me asking for her name and asking me to tell her how beautiful her music was. Because I was planning the wedding from overseas and was on a tight schedule, she was very accommodating and let us meet her at her studio on her birthday! She's just that nice! She has an extensive repertoire of songs but learned how to play a couple of songs that I requested, and those songs were hard! I walked extra slow down the aisle just to listen to her play :)
She will add a touch of beauty and elegance to any event.
I had my ceremony & reception at Blue Hills Country Club in Canton,MA. Hiring Lizary was a blessing, she is patience, warm, and pleasant. I would recommend her talent for any wedding , or event !
Dr. Lizary Rodriguez's playing and performance at our wedding was above and beyond our expectations. Prior to the wedding we chose several songs from her large repertoire and during the wedding ceremony we had her pieces embedded in the church service. It was the first time for us and many of our guests to have a wedding harpist, and it was a wonderful experience how her smooth and beautiful music fulfilled the church.
After the wedding we received numerous compliments from our guests, not only about her music but also about her beautiful formal attire and her nice personality.
It was a great pleasure for us to work with Lizary and we highly recommend her.
Gracias Lizary!
Lizary is an exceptional musician and harpist. She played before and during the ceremony of my wedding. All of the guests were so impressed by her music and her abilities. The music she chose helped to add a bit of elegance to our outdoor wedding. She was a wonderful professional and played everything I requested for the wedding party. I cannot recommend her enough. She can play almost any style or type of music you request. Hiring Lizard will help add that special touch to your special day!
Lizary's marvelous music made our special day even more special. She accommodated our special requests with grace and talent. Who knew you could play "Xanadu"on a harp??
Lizary is as lovely as she is talented -- Thank you, Lizary, for sharing your music with us and and guests.
We hired Lizary for our wedding in September. Her music was beautiful and she has a humble and lovely personality. We highly recommend her.
We had the great pleasure to have Lizary as our wedding harpist. Prior to dinner, when all guests were seated, we had her perform a 30 minutes concert for our guests. We requested Stairway to Heaven and some classical pieces by Bach and asked her to complement the performance with some Latin-American songs. Her performance was stunning and we received great feedback from our guests. There were several professional musicians among our guests who were impressed by her outstanding performance. We consider us very lucky to have had a world renowned harpist in our wedding!
It is with great pleasure that I share our excellent experience with Lizary, who played at my daughter's wedding in June. She was simply phenomenal. My walk with my daughter down the aisle at the sound of Lizary's majestic harp will for ever remain one of the most special moments of my life. Her music still evokes praise from family and friends. Even the staff at the venue commented on her music. She paid close attention to my daughter's desires while delivering what felt like a world class performance. Her musical versatility and her grace helped make the wedding that much special. We were blessed to have such a renowned artist be part of our very special day. Gracias Lizary!
