s, both intimate and upbeat. Guests told us in person and have been texting since then that they thought the harp and trio was a great classy touch, better then the traditional band or DJ- and we agree! We were able to mingle with guests all night without the music being overbearing. Erin was also able to play a traditional Italian dance song (Tarantella) on request, and killed it!!!!! Thanks so much Erin!

She, her instrument, and her music were all so beautiful it really created such a wonderful atmosphere within our wedding.
All of my guests were so impressed with Erin. Her talent as well as general professionalism was 5 stars. I can not recommend a better musician if you are thinking of a harpist. Worth every penny

our. She was a perfect touch to the evening. Throughout the planning process Erin was very professional. Planning a wedding can be very stressful and Erin made her part very easy and stress-free for us. She provided great song suggestions that would entertain our guests. We would not hesitate to book her again for another event.
Erin played the harp for the cocktail hour of my daughter's wedding. Her repertoire was large and she had the voice of an angel. We could not have picked anyone more perfect!!!
She is an amazing artist! Her voice is just beautiful. She is so professional and great to work with.
Erin was simply amazing. What made her different from the other harpists I contacted was the fact that she called me right away (instead of texting and e-mailing). She was very ple...
asant on the phone and she sounded very nice. As a bride, it is important to be able to connect to the person you wanna hire to perform at your special day. And that was a very important factor to me to make the decision. During the ceremony and cocktail hour, Erin WOW'ed all the guests with her amazing performance and beautiful voice... Everyone LOVED her performance.
We hired Erin to play at our wedding this past weekend and it was one of the best decisions we made. She is incredible on the harp as well as has an amazing voice. Our guests could...
n't stop raving about her. While we did not get to hear all of her numbers, the two pieces that were most important to us - Pachelbel's Canon as the wedding processional and a Beach Boys song as the recessional - were played beautiful and sounded powerful and strong. What's more impressive, prior to the wedding we had requested a few surprise crowd-pleaser songs which Erin had to learn from scratch, and she obliged happily. When she played those numbers our guests went nuts! Erin is highly responsive over email, has a great sense of humor, and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. We would recommend her to anybody.

tdoor wedding ceremony on 9-7-14 and she was beyond amazing! She is so beautiful and professional! She was hired to play just the harp during my wedding but also sang a few songs with her angelic voice as guests arrived which was an added surprise for us! Our guests and my dad especially loved her and were shocked and amazed by her talent! Very punctual, timely and flexible with requests and knowledgable with all song types and requests! Love love love Erin! She is the best! Many thanks again!
Erin was on time, professional and a joy to have. We booked Erin, along with her cellist, with less than 2 weeks until our wedding and they were still able to grace us with their b...
eautiful music and Erin's absolutely stunning voice. Even with some last minute changes on our part, they had no problem adjusting to what was needed to make this day the best it could be. She was the glue that pulled our ceremony and cocktail hour together. Erin and her cellist made for an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime. The only thing I regret I have is not booking them for the entire reception.
Erin was perfect for what we wanted - she's not your traditional harpist, in fact you can look her up on YouTube and prepare to be amazed!

st by myself and my partner of 30 years. Her performance was just lovely and really topped a perfect ceremony. She played the cocktail hour as well and her music selections were the perfect background to our banquet. Prior to the day Erin responded to all emails. Her arrival was timely. We highly recomend Erin. She was a joy to work with. -Mary Ann and Bernadette, Mamaroneck, NY
It's rare to find a world class harpist who also has a world class voice. Erin Hill provided the music at my son's recent wedding service and cocktail hour, demonstrating her amazi...
ng instrumental and vocal chops. Her version of Etta James' "At Last" during the service caused one of the groomsmen to turn to my son and remark "I thought you might have oversold the harp player. You definitely DID NOT oversell the harp player!"
Not only was the music world class, but Erin was a delight to work with in every respect. Pleasant, personable and professional. I highly recommend this multi-talented artist for any occasion.
Erin was a wonderful ceremony musician. She was a pleasure to work with and a real help with planning. She was able to play both traditional and current music with ease and to help...
me find the right music for my ceremony. She really made my ceremony more memorable.
