Christine MacPhail was absolutely perfect and we were so happy we hired her for our ceremony music! She was so kind, talented and easy to work with. She played a few random requests I had (one being the Friends theme song as our recessional!) and played it perfectly. After the ceremony she came up to us to congratulate us and even said our vows made her tear up even though she didn’t know us. We couldn’t have been happier!!
I chose her because she could play the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. She was awesome to work with. Thank you so much Christine
This was my fave wedding vendor because she's really sweet and plays good music too.
Christine set the tone for our ceremony with romantic love songs on her harp. She helped me with ideas for my entrance song and made the entire day more beautiful!
We were so fortunate to have Christine play at our wedding, which took place just two days after a hurricane! Despite the chaos leading up to the day, she arrived on time and brought such a sense of calm and beauty with her music. Her talent truly elevated the atmosphere and made our ceremony feel magical. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful her performance was. Christine was professional, reliable, and so kind throughout the entire process. We can’t recommend her enough for making our day extra special!
It was absolutely magical to have Christine play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was so pleasant to work with and plan with, and was happy to play a song from outside her list at the groom's request. It was definitely a dream of mine to have a live harpist, and it was absolutely worth it. Thank you Christine!
My husband and I just got married, we hired Christine to be our harpist for our wedding ceremony and we are so glad that we did! Best decision ever! Throughout the planning process, Christine has been so professional, diligent, kind, and patient in working with us, answering all of our questions, and honoring our requests. No matter what time of day, or day of the week, if we had a question or needed to update or change something regarding our song choices, she has always been great with communicating, responding, and addressing things in a timely manner, which we really appreciate. We appreciate her flexibility throughout the process. Christine played so beautifully at our wedding and her harp really added something special to our wedding day, our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be and more. I 100/100 recommend working with Christine, you WILL NOT regret it. All of our guests came to us after our ceremony to tell us how beautifully she played, and she most definitely did! We really love how broad and diverse her song repertoire is and how many different songs she is able to play from all genres and eras. We are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with her!
We had the absolute pleasure of having the incredibly talented harpist, Christine, grace our daughter's wedding at the Four Seasons Orlando in November 2023 and her performance was nothing short of magical. From the first note to the last, Christine's musical artistry added an ethereal touch that elevated the entire celebration.
Christine's skill on the harp is truly exceptional, creating an enchanting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the elegance of the Four Seasons Orlando. Her renditions were not just beautiful; they were mesmerizing, capturing the hearts of every guest present. What set Christine apart was not only her technical prowess but also her ability to infuse emotion and personality into each piece.
Our guests were genuinely blown away by Christine's performance, and rightfully so. Many of her renditions were not only masterfully executed but also thoughtfully personalized for our guests' enjoyment. The personalized touch added an extra layer of warmth and intimacy to the event, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone.
Beyond her musical talents, Christine's professionalism and poise were remarkable. Her passion for her craft was evident, and it translated into a performance that surpassed all expectations.
In summary, if you're seeking a harpist who can transform your special day into a symphony of emotions, look no further than Christine. Her outstanding talent, personalized touch, and professional demeanor made our daughter's wedding an unforgettable experience. Our deepest gratitude to Christine for contributing to the magic of that day with her enchanting melodies.
Christine is so talented and having her play the harp during ceremony and cocktail hour was absolutely beautiful! Not to mention it rained on my wedding day and she didn’t let that stop her! She is super helpful and provides a bunch of songs to choose from. Thank you again Christine!
Christine is a very professional wedding vendor and a talented musician. She added so much to our ceremony
I always dreamed of harp music playing when i walked down the isle and Christine made that dream come true I asked for Disney songs and she gave me a long list to choose from
Really beautiful harp music
Christine was fantastic with her music and with her flexible attitude when i asked to make a few changes the week before the wedding. Thank you Christine!
Christine was a wonderful and memorable part of our wedding! We had her play for our cocktail hour and ceremony. She had our must have song on her list, La Vie En Rose, which we used for my entrance during the ceremony. She has a list of songs you can choose from, and you fill out a worksheet with all your choices ahead of time! We received so many compliments from our guests afterwards, and she even took requests during Cocktail Hour, including one from my nephew. You won’t be disappointed if you book her for your wedding!
Christine and her harp were the perfect addition to our perfect day. Christine is so talented and every guest at our wedding raved about her! I could not recommend her enough! Christine’s harp music is so beautiful I could not have imagined our wedding day without it.
We hired Christine to play the harp for our wedding ceremony and it was the best decision ever! We were so happy and overjoyed to have her be apart of our wedding day! We received so many compliments about her from our guests. Our venue has a waterfall at the ceremony site where I was concerned we would not be able to hear Christine, however, that was not the case. Christine provides an amplifier and I could hear her from the alter when she played for our unity ceremony. Christine went the extra mile by learning a new song we requested that was not in her playlist. I could go on, but hurry and book her before your date is gone. You will not regret it, I wish I done it for cocktail also is my only regret! Thank you Christine!
Christine is such a kind and incredibly talented person. Having her play the harp at our ceremony made it feel so elegant and romantic. The guests at our wedding kept commenting on how much they loved her music! I would highly recommend her for any event you may be planning; we felt so lucky that she could be part of our day!
Christine was, without a doubt, one of the kindest and best vendors we had the pleasure of working with while planning our wedding.
From her extensive catalogue to her willingness to learn new material to her excitement over all the details of our wedding, she was the single best choice we made for our ceremony and she added such an amazing ambiance to the ceremony and cocktail hour that our guests raved Asap
She is incredibly kind and a fantastic choice for anybody looking for music for any event.
Jake and I feel so fortunate to have had Christine play for our wedding ceremony. Her song list is extensive, and her talent is endless. We would recommend Christine to anyone looking to make their special day extra enchanting.
Christine was amazing at our wedding. We had to do the ceremony earlier than planned due to rain, and she was there and ready when we needed to start. Most importantly though, all of my guests commented on her playing. It was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with how the ceremony turned out. Since it was a bit shorter than expected due to the rain coming in, she was flexible and played inside the venue afterwards to make sure we got our money’s worth. Professional, kind, and musically talented are the words I would use to describe her. You will not regret hiring her. Thank you so much Christine!
A harpist makes such a beautiful addition to your special day. It is the sound of the angels from above. If you chose to have your even in the Mayan Courtyard and Chapel as we did, the atmosphere provided will far exceed your wildest expectations.
My husband and I were lucky enough to find Christine to play music for our ceremony and we could not have been more pleased. We chose to have music played softly in the background during our ceremony because there were so many songs within her repertoire that I absolutely loved. Christine was so easy to work with and provided helpful suggestions. I can say everything went off beautifully.
Christine even let my daughters play the harp which was such a wonderful experience for them. We made the right decision and if you are considering a harpist, please listen to her music samples. She is a wonderful professional. Thank you Christine.
Christine was so easy to work with, and she is a warm and delightful person. She has such a range of genres in her music, and we took full advantage in our song list. It was so helpful to go through all her social media posts and song samples on her website for inspiration. We highly recommend Christine MacPhail for your live music needs!
We were referred to Christine by Paradise Cove. She was such a pleasure to work with and her work is amazing. So talented! She was quick to answer any questions and I had fun picking out the songs for her to play. I unfortunately didn't get to talk to her much the day of, but I saw her quickly after the ceremony and she is the sweetest! all of our guests were blown away by her and I got tons of compliments about her. I would recommend her every time. Thank you so much Christine!
Christine was an absolute joy to work with. She was so attentive and was able to conform to every request I had. I appreciated how she checked in every so often to make sure we were still on the same page on everything. As a huge fan of the Office, she created a mashup of Canon in D and the the Office theme song that was a huge hit with our guests! She also played some classical songs per my request, but was also able to play some more popular renditions of the Weeknd songs. Her range is unmatched and she was a wonderfully unique addition to our wedding!
Christine was wonderful!!! She was so helpful and easy to work with and her music is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect touch for a wedding.
Christine's talent is incredible - her music made our ceremony perfect! She played every song we requested and everyone was so impressed! We highly recommend her!
Christine was literally AMAZING! All the music she played for our pre ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful. Great, easy communication all throughout. 10/10 would recommend to anybody.
Christine was wonderful to work with. She provides suggestions in case you can't decide which songs you want, and having samples available on her website was a huge help. On the day of the wedding the music was beautiful and our guests loved it! It really elevated the ceremony to have a live harpist, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire Christine!
Christine always responded quickly to emails and was so kind. She has an extensive list of songs she performs and did not disappoint! We had a very small wedding at the Harry P Leu Gardens, but having Christine on the harp created a very romantic and intimate wedding. I cannot recommend her enough. My wedding party and I had brunch after the wedding and Christine was a big topic as everyone was so impressed with how beautifully she played. If you’re unsure whether to have a harpist or not, I highly recommend it! 10/10
Christine was amazing and so sweet. She was very easy to work with and was very accommodating when I had to move our wedding date twice. I had several compliments from guests regarding the harp music, I'm so glad we booked her!
Christine was AMAZING!! She was so kind and accommodating and truly seemed like she wanted to make us as happy as possible. She even learned to play a song that she had never learned before that my husband wanted to walk down the aisle to. Her music the day of was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Christine!
We had the pleasure of working with Christine who was so sweet. She was very organized and offered many different songs to chose from for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests raved about her playing and said it created such a beautiful ambience. We would highly recommend her and her services!
Christine was such a pleasure to work with. She brought such a unique and special touch to my wedding. I will never forget the moment I was walking down the aisle to my Groom while listening to Christine playing my song, beautifully. Multiple guests complimented how beautiful she, and her music, was. Highly recommend!!!
Just absolutely breath taking! Christine's harp playing made walking down the aisle even more special than I ever imagined!
Christine is talented, professional and the absolute sweetest there is! Leading up to the wedding, she was so kind and incredibly organized. Her song selection is so impressive and her social media posts made us so excited to hear her talent in person! In the midst of my busy wedding day, Christine made sure to say hello and goodbye to my Groom and I, giving me the biggest hug. My guests couldn't stop raving about how great our harpist was. Her music was the perfect cherry on top of our beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Christine! You're amazing! <3
Christine played harp prior to our ceremony and during cocktail hour before our reception and she was just wonderful! She was so easy to work with prior to the wedding— I sent her my song requests the week before and she came ready to play my not so traditional songs: Beyoncé, Florence and the Machine, the Cure, Harry Potter songs... she does them all and just beautifully!!! My guests loved her and so did we. Thank you Christine for your talents on our big day!
Christine was a lovely addition to our ceremony. She was so easy to work with and played amazingly. It rained on our wedding day and she did everything in her power to still play outside even thought it was a risk to her equipment. This meant so much to us because it was our dream to get married at an outdoor location and her music added a much. Her attention to detail and kindness is much appreciated. If we ever need a harpist again, we will turn to Christine!
The reviews of Christine's performance ability and warm professional demeanor are completely accurate. She is prompt to respond, easy to make plans and decisions with, attentive to detail and brings romance and elegance to a special occasion. She played for our son's wedding and made us look really terrific in the eyes of our new daughter in law! We would highly recommend her.
I loved having the harp music in the chapel for the wedding. It sounded beautiful and the ceremony was so special because of it. Christine's song list was the best and helped make the music perfect for me and my husband.
Christine was one of the best vendors we hired for our daughter's wedding. I got a little stressed with all the planning but working with her was very easy and she kept me informed all along the way leading up to the big day. I was so happy with her harp playing at the ceremony. She was really good and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
We were really happy with Christine's harp music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She helped us with our song choices and really made the day special. My mother was glad we had her there because it was a special touch she wanted.
Christine and her harp were such a highlight for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a lot of songs from video games and she was happy to comply. Our guests are still talking about it. I would certainly recommend contacting her for your wedding harpist.
We have had the pleasure of working with Christine on countless weddings and highly recommend her to couples looking to add a special touch with the beautiful music of the harp for their ceremony and/or cocktail hour. Christine is so easy going and always smiling, her love for what she does shines through! Her extensive repertoire list is a perfect mix of classical, hits from today, and from decades past… great for classic ceremony, to transitioning into an upbeat and fun cocktail hour.

Christine is AMAZING!!! She is very talented and such a pleasure to work with. Ours guests were really impressed wouldn't stop talking about Christine.
We are so lucky to have had Christine play her beautiful harp on our wedding day, June 8th, 2019. She is so talented at what she does. Christine was such a pleasure to work with and made our big day even that more special. Guests commented on how lovely her music was for both the ceremony and during cocktail hour. Although I was not in the room when it occurred, several guests told me that just as Christine was ending her song for the bridal party to precede down the aisle, a loud crack of thunder happened as if right on cue (which everyone seemed to have loved). Thank you again Christine for everything!

Christine MacPhail was easily one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding day. She was professional, kind, and wonderful at what she does. She even learned a few new songs just for my wedding! She played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Having her there added a wonderful elegance to our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!
THE BEST! Christine played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we are so happy to have found her. Not only is she insanely talented, but she is so kind and helpful! You will not regret having her be a part of your wedding day!
Christine was so incredible and it was a pleasure working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in harp music. She was extremely responsive and worked with the music selections that we chose and improvised some beautiful additions as well. We had Christine play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and all of our guests loved the beautiful addition. She had such a fun mix of songs to play from Top 20s, Disney music, and so much more. Thank you so much Christine for making our wedding day perfect!
i'm happy to write this review for Christine because she was a terrific addition to my sister's wedding ceremony with all the songs she could play and her pleasing attitude. you'll be very happy with hiring her.
Christine playing her wonderful harp music really set the tone for our ceremony and made a great atmosphere. I heard her playing A Thousand Years as i walked down the aisle. It was perfect.
Christine's harp music made a big difference at our wedding ceremony and really gave it an extra special touch. We requested many different Disney songs and she was able to play them all beautifully. It was perfect!!
Christine was the harpist for our wedding ceremony. She was part of the venue package and I was very impressed with all the songs she can play. She was so easy to work with and one of the best vendors we had. Her music is awesome.
Christine is truly a wonder!! My new husband and I really wanted a magical Disney themed wedding and Christine was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job.
Christine was amazing! She played for our very small ceremony and adapted to the fact that we had no bridal party, ushers, seating, etc. She had a large variety of songs to play and we were able to mix in some fun TV and video game tunes.
Christine was amazing!! Not only was she very easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding, but she is extremely talented. It was everything I had dreamed about. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone hands down!
I highly recommend Christine to anyone who would like to hear the most beautiful harp music. She played her harp for my wedding and worked with me to choose the perfect songs for each part of the ceremony. She had many songs to choose from and a worksheet to help me with the choices. Then she played perfectly at the ceremony. I am so happy I had her there.
Christine was the harpist for our destination ceremony and she was awesome!!! She played all the songs we asked for and she was really good to work with also. On the wedding day she was there with a smile and her beautiful music. I could not have asked for a better musician for my wedding.
Christine is absolutely amazing! She plays the harp so beautifully my mother started crying during our trial session with her. She has a wide music selection and is willing to learn almost any song for wedding ceremonies. I had her play during our ceremony and during our outdoor cocktail hour and I wish I could have heard more of the music while taking our photos. Christine was so pleasant to work with and was willing to provide photos she had from my venue to assist with my planning.
Christine's harp music was perfect for our wedding ceremony and she has so many songs to choose from. She gave me ideas and helped me choose the songs for walking in and walking out. She would send an email now and then to see how it was going. I am so glad I found her!!
We had Christine at our ceremony and cocktail hour 2 weeks ago. She did an amazing job and her music was beautiful. She took requests from our guests during cocktail hour and everyone was thrilled with the music played. I am so glad that we had Christine there on our special day.
