People are still talking about our ceremony music from over a month ago—they loved Mary as much as we did. Mary is so talented and has a calming, positive presence about her. She is open to requests and strives to make your day and music perfec...
t. She is very reliable, organized, thoughtful and kind. 10/10 recommend Mary!
I truly cannot recommend Mary enough! She is an expert at her craft. The harp was the perfect addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the guests could not stop raving about her playing. I truly fell in love with Mary's music and I was i...
n tears listening to her sample pieces as we were selecting songs. Hearing her music play when I walked down the aisle put me at ease. If you are looking for live music, I truly cannot recommend Mary enough for your ceremony!
Beautiful music at a reasonable price! Her music took our wedding ceremony to the next level. It was absolutely beautiful and we're so happy she was part of our big day.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Brooke. Your ceremony was so beautiful, and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it. Thank you for having me, and I'm thrilled that you were pleased with the music!
Simply the best! We really liked having Mary play at our wedding. She did a fantastic job. Before the big day, we met, listened to her play and then went over important information for the ceremony. She was very accommodating in playing an unu...
sual song for me to walk to, waltz of the flowers. Every step of the way Mary played harp loudly, clearly and absolutely beautifully.
From day one, Mary was easy to work with and a great fit for our mountain wedding ceremony. She is incredibly talented and has a large repertoire of songs to choose from. We got many compliments on her performance and her soothing music helped ...
us feel calm and collected during the most important moments of our lives. One of our favorite vendors by far!
Mary was great throughout the whole process of email communications, booking, pre-ceremony meeting and performance! She knew almost all of the songs we wanted her to play and learned a couple that she didnt know already. The harp music made our...
ceremony so much more lovely and booking her was one of the best decisions we made. She is very professional!
Mary played during our Winter Park intimate wedding of 40+ and truly played our selected melodies so gracefully that it made our wedding feel like a romantic, winter wonderland dream. We'd selected songs such as Enya's Caribbean Blue, and The ...
Beatles' Here Comes the Sun for our ceremony, and she managed to learn them in a few months just in time for our January 13th, 2018 wedding. She is truly talented and was the perfect touch to our wedding. Her price was reasonable considering this destination wedding location. We would absolutely recommend her!
We hired Mary to play at our 9/22/2017 outdoor wedding at the Manor House. Between the venue's spectacular views and Mary's beautiful celestial music, I am fairly certain that our guests felt like they had died and gone to heaven! Not only is M...
ary so talented and gifted in her craft, she is also an incredibly kind soul and the consummate professional. She was definitely one of our favorite vendors to work with, and we were so privileged to have her be part of our amazing day! Thank you, Mary! ~Anika & Neal
My husband and I are so pleased we had Mary play at our wedding. Her performance was absolutely beautiful. She was very accommodating in learning songs we wanted her to play as well as promptly emailing us samples of the songs we asked about. H...
aving her at our wedding added something truly special and unique. If you're unsure of the music style you want, she takes the time to walk you through all the available options.
Mary is incredibly talented and so kind. She invited us to her home before we signed a contract to meet her, and listen to some of her ideas about repertoire. Throughout the few months before the wedding, she and our officiant communicated a ...
few times about the music during, immediatly before, and after, the ceremony. A few days before, Mary even came to the venue having prepared and arranged some of the music to accompany the wedding liturgy, and she was able to rehearse it with us and the officiant. On the day of the wedding, all of our guests loved the music, and we are both so glad we asked Mary to accompany our wedding ceremony. Thanks for making our wedding so beautiful! --Kayla and Matt
Wonderful musician who plays everything beautifully. We got numerous compliments on her performance during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Also very easy to coordinate with.
Amazing local talent. Mary plays beautifully and really did a fantastic job playing for our ceremony.
Mary Keener was the harpist for my daughters wedding on Saturday July 2, 2016 and I can not say enough about how wonderful she was. The sounds coming from her harp were just beautiful!! She was patient and understanding when it began to rain...
just as the wedding was beginning. She covered her harp and waited for the rain to pass. Thank you to Lionsgate Event Center for recommending her!! Thank you again Mary for making the day so very special !!!!
We got married on 8/23/15 at the Stanley Hotel and Mary provided us with ceremony music. Her harp playing was amazing and really set the tone for the ceremony. Mary also played during our cocktail hour and she played a variety of music and soun...
ded wonderful. I highly recommend Mary!
Mary was absolutely amazing. We received so many comments on how classy having a harpist for the ceremony was. Not only was going with the harpist special, but Mary was terrific. We met with her one on one beforehand to choose all of the songs ...
both traditional and current. All of which are so entertaining to hear on the harp. She was so easy to work with and very affordable. Definitely would have her perform for another event in the future.
Mary was a joy to work with. My husband and I are so happy that we found Mary to play at our wedding ceremony. She was so easy to work with. Due to our busy schedules, we didn't have a lot of time to meet. She was very accommodating in find...
ing a time that we could meet with her to hear her play and talk about options for song selections. She made the process simple, which we loved, as she offered suggestions. Mary was very clear in letting us know about what would happen if the weather was not cooperative for our outdoor ceremony, so that there were not any surprises for us. She arrived on time our wedding day (without needing to come to rehearsal because she knows the wedding process so well) and unfortunately, I barely even connected with her. However, this was also really great because I knew I didn't have to worry. Guests loved having Mary play at our wedding. She played leading up to the ceremony, prelude music, and a solo during the ceremony -- it was absolutely beautiful. Overall, we loved working with her and are still happy she was a part of our wedding day!
Mary is an amazing harpist. The music was truly beautiful and helped create an amazingly beautiful ceremony. She coordinated the other musicians and soloist and I felt comfortable leaving things in her hands. She played through our cocktail ...
hour as well and our guests really enjoyed the music!
Mary was very easy to work with, offered assistance when asked and performed beautifully during our wedding. I would hightly recommend her!!!
Mary was on top of things from early planning stages to my wedding itself. It was a joy to have her lovely playing during my wedding ceremony. Many guests commented positively on Mary's harp playing and how it added to the wedding atmosphere. ...
She responded very promptly to all wedding correspondence I had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others for their big day.
She was flexible and talented. She was also incredibly polite and had fantastic follow through.
When we first met with Mary we had no idea what we wanted for our ceremony. She took the time to help us figure everything out. She was absolutely wonderful! Everyone thought having her there was a beautiful touch.
Mary is a delight! She is such a beautiful person inside and out, who makes that harp just sing. My husband and I turned to Mary after hunting for a string quartet, but realized that was just out of our range. Mary invited us to her home to lis...
ten to her play, and she played many selections on the spot for us to hear. Absolutely beautiful! We had her playing before, during, and after our ceremony at Mount Vernon. Canon in D was flawless, and she played Largo from Dvorak's New World Symphony, which holds a place in mine and my husband's heart (this was a song we had played in high school marching band the year we started dating). I highly recommend Mary for her professionalism, her personality, and her music.
I HIGHLY recommend hiring Mary for your wedding. We had her play at our wedding in August, and received nothing but rave reviews from all guests in attendance. We were blown away by her music, and the sound of a harp echoing through the mountai...
ns is incredible!! She is highly professional and was able to get her harp up the mountain to our site at Piney River Ranch--which is no easy task on a rough, dirt, road!! She helped us select the best music for our ceremony in advance, and was easy to communicate with during the whole planning process. She's amazing. We couldn't have been happier to have her perform on our wedding day!
Mary made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! She is very professional and her beautful harp just added more beauty to that amazing day. When we first met her we instantly knew we wanted her to play at our wedding!
Mary played at our outdoor wedding in September and it was perfect! Between becoming horribly ill a few weeks before the wedding and our officiant completely forgetting about our ceremony until 3 days before, I was unable to get all of our mus...
ic choices to her until the last minute. She was able to put together a beautiful selection of music nonetheless. Everyone commented afterwards about how amazing she was. I couldn't have been happier!
Mary Keener, was originally referred to me by my officiant. I was not sure what to expect when I went to meet her to hear her musical selections for my wedding. Well, I was VERY impressed. She was not only professional and talented, but her ...
music and playing style were superb. I could not have been more pleased. She remained in contact prior to my wedding date and on my special day she was on time and ready to go as she had promised. The musical portion of the pre, post and actual ceremony went off without a hitch and to my specifications. I was pleased with Mary and so were my guests.
Mary played for us during our wedding ceremony and she was amazing! The guests raved about her, she did a wonderful job! On top of that she is so great to work with, very professional, super nice! We met with her beforehand to hear her play and...

ed my special request for a favorite song during the ceremony - and it was perfect! All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and we received many compliments. I would recommend Mary to anyone who wants that extra special touch of class and elegance. It truly was one of the best parts of our wedding! Thank you again, Mary.
Mary Keener's soloist performance excelled on all levels, she staged the perfect tone for a perfect day.

Thank you Mary for adding a special touch of beauty to our wedding. My husband and I highly recommend Mary and her harp for any event.
Mary did a wonderful job! The music was beautiful and she worked with my officiant (who had never officiated a wedding before) to have a very smooth, beautiful ceremony. I would definitely recommend Mary and I offer the highest accolades to h...
er! Superb! She did an awesome job!

the extra steps needed to make sure I was comfortable, and by the time the wedding day came I didn't need to worry. She was taking care of it.
... I HIGHLY recommend!!
Mary was very helpful - she was not available on my wedding date but was able to recommend Hillary Schefter. Very professional and much appreciated!
Mary was the harpist at our wedding ceremony last July in Denver. She was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process--from the intial meeting, right up to the big day. Not only is she amazingly talented and kind, she was also very prompt...
to respond to emails and was so helpful in picking out the perfect musical selections for our ceremony. She literally knows every single peice of music I have ever heard of, and was even willing to learn a song I had specifically requested to walk down the aisle to. She arrived early, played everything beautifully, and was completely worth every single penny. I have to say that her music was my absolute favorite detail of our ceremony and I still get compliments on how wonderful our harpist was. She moved everyone to tears!
Mary was super dedicated and took the time for me and my husband to choose music we both wanted at our wedding. She was punctual on our special day and the music was just perfect and beautiful!!
