Cindy added so much to our ceremony and made it feel like something out of a dream. Leading up the wedding she was easy to communicate with and had a thorough information sheet for us to help paint a picture of our vision and the ceremony logistics. She was able to play every song we requested which we were not expecting, especially as they were from a variety of genres. I was so sad I did not get to meet her - but that also says so much about how efficient, kind, and professional she is - everything went flawlessly without me evening having to say a word. I truthfully cannot not describe how beautiful it was when walking down the aisle and hearing her play - it felt like a movie. Additionally - the guests adored her.
This was one of our "splurge/bonus" wedding vendors and I am so happy we prioritized doing so! It was worth it x 100.
Cindy was wonderful and a perfect addition to the wedding. She was very professional. She has many great song choices. She is very easy to work with. One of the best decisions we made was hiring her to play.
Cindy was fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and a joy to work with. From the beginning, when I first heard her beautiful music, I knew we just had to have her play at our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sound for their wedding ceremony.
I cannot say enough good things about Cindy Horstman. Cindy made our wedding so special. She gave us a suggested agenda of beautiful songs for the ceremony. We used most of them with a few small changes, and she was entirely flexible. Cindy is so talented and a joy to work with - I would highly recommend her to everyone!
Cindy is so good at what she does!!! She played the most beautiful music at my wedding ceremony and made it so special for my husband and I. She truly cared about my requests and even took the time to learn a song that meant so much to me!!! You can tell when you see/hear her play that she is truly passionate about music and people. I would definitely recommend her for future weddings and events. Thank you Cindy for making my ceremony so special!!!
I did not want a stereo, DJ, or a piano to play my ceremony music. I wanted something different and I found this harpest through the vendor list from the place a had my wedding at. She was very sweet and I arranged everything through e-mail. I was able to listen to a demo of what she was going to play and had read other reviews about how loud she played. I really liked the demo and she was open to other songs I may have wanted. I arranged everything with her by e-mail and did not have any problems. I didnt get a chance to meet her since I was so busy that day!! I do not remember her playing when I was walking down to get married, but I did hear her after the ceremony when we were walking out! I'm not sure if it was because she wasnt loud enough or if I was just in the moment! who knows!! I asked my guests and family if they were able to hear her and they said yes and it was beautiful! So Im assuming it was because I was not paying attention! Other than that, I was very pleased! I highly reccomend her to anyone who is looking for a harpest who is loud!
She was wonderful! She gave us a CD with different songs so we could hear samples and she was able to give us great advice! If she didn't know something she would easily be able to learn it. Before guests arrived she was even playing children's songs for our 2-year-old ring bearer to keep him entertained. She's very professional and it sounded absolutely beautiful! It was an outdoor wedding so she had an amplifier so everything was easily heard.
