Our experience with harpist Brian Noel was truly indescribable. From the moment we first spoke with him, his communication was efficient, organized, prompt, and incredibly helpful ...
throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Brian's talent and performance completely exceeded our expectations. The ambiance he created with his breathtaking, magical harp playing was nothing short of insanely talented, and set the entire vibe for the evening. We continue to hear from our guests about how his music made the night feel like a true fairytale. Brian's invaluable contribution to our special day was truly priceless, and we will absolutely be booking him for any future events we have. Thank you, Brian!
Brian was an incredibly rare find. From the very beginning of my search for a musician, Brian responded quickly, gave me an excellent quote, and helped me find another musician and...
handled the coordination for a duet. Brian is a great communicator and worked closely with us to find the perfect music selection for the event and even coordinated with us on what attire we wanted him to wear. He and his partner, Norm were excellent at our event - all of our guests said that their performance was the highlight of the night and I wholeheartedly agree. Both Brian and Norm were very professional. We appreciated that they were gracious enough to be flexible with their timing when our dinner went slightly longer than expected. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about our experience with both Brian and Norm. We would absolutely book both of them again and would recommend them to all of our family and friends.

rly leading up to the event, fairly priced, and most importantly, played the most beautiful arrangements of two special requests that we asked them to play. There was not a dry eye in the crowd. Thank you, Brian, for helping to make my daughter’s wedding the most perfect day!
We are glad we had Brian play at our wedding ceremony. He really knew the job and was very professional. He showed up on time, accommodate all our requests, and was willing to cove...
r the Bridal Chorus when we told him the pianist who supposed to play it might not show up. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family.
Superb Experience!
From booking to performing, Brian was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. He was prompt and professional with his emails -- all at a very rea...
sonable price. I booked harpist only, and Brian did not disappoint. He played for the seating and ceremony. He arrived early and was easy to work with. The guests all loved his music, including my fiance at the time and myself.
Brian is a true professional. He helped make our dream wedding come true. I highly recommend Brian playing for your special occasion.
Brian was incredible! We wanted a harp, cello, and violin and he brought along incredible musicians to accompany him. He converted one of our favorite songs into sheet music and pa...
rts for all of them to play for our processional. He also transcribed a song from the 70s to accompany my brother in law who sang and played guitar with them backing him. He was clear about what he would play while guests were being seated and it all sounded so lovely. Brian is the guy you want! Book him and you'll be so happy you did.
We hired Brian and Mary (harpist + flutist) and could not be happier! We had 50 guests for our wedding, and everyone of all different ages could not stop complimenting the music! B...
rian was extremely responsive every step of the way and cared very deeply that he got everything right. We initially were planning on just hiring Brian (harp only); however, we are so glad we went with the duo instead as the flute added a new dimension to the sound! Guests complimented the perfect volume, the music selection (friends loved the Disney medley) and how unique this choice of entertainment was! We personally loved the classical, timeless sound of the music and beautiful optics of the harp! Thank you Brian for doing a spectacular job!
