Truly amazing. Having Naomi as our live entertainment was the best decision we ever made. The guests loved the ambiance created by her and being able to focus on her music during the ceremony got us out of our heads. Hearing our favorite songs on a harp was like a fairytail. She was kind, professional and was able to accommodate every song request ! She can sight read and play literally everything! definitely keeping her in mind for all our future events that need that extra spark !

Naomi is extremely professional and reliable.
Her song options provide several choices.
Naomi provides all the steps to choose songs and preview songs through a personal virtual call.
The harp playing added a perfect level of elegance.
Naomi played the wedding ceremony and dinner and was perfect in song choices and timing of the wedding party entrances.
This is my second time experiencing Naomi’s music and I will continue to call on her for future events.

Naomi played at our wedding and her music is breathtaking! She was so friendly and kind during the planning process. She accommodated our every need and we are picky people! She even looked up a song that my husband really wanted for his entrance and was able to quickly learn it and play it for him. I enjoy listening to the songs of today played on classical instruments and she does this so well. If you do too stop reading this and hire her now!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Naomi's exceptional harp performance at my wedding, and I must say, it was truly enchanting. As a real estate agent in San Diego who values professionalism and a passion for one's craft, I was thoroughly impressed by Naomi's dedication to her art. Her responsiveness and valuable input throughout the wedding planning process demonstrated her commitment to making the event truly special. Her passion for playing the harp shone through in every note she played, creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented the wedding's ambiance.
One of the standout qualities of Naomi's performance was her incredible talent. Her mastery of the harp was evident in every melody she produced, and it was clear that she had honed her skills over years of dedicated practice and performance. As a fellow professional in a different field, I appreciate the level of expertise that Naomi brought to the table. Moreover, Naomi's professionalism was exceptional. She not only played the requested songs flawlessly, including popular hits like Taylor Swift, but she also did so with grace and poise, adding a touch of elegance to the event. In conclusion, I highly recommend Naomi to anyone seeking a harpist for their special occasion. Her responsiveness, passion, talent, and professionalism make her a standout choice. She truly made my wedding a memorable and enchanting experience, and I have no doubt that she can do the same for any event. Naomi is a true gem in the world of harpists, and I would gladly work with her again in the future.

Naomi was amazing for our wedding. She even learned the song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to. She has so much skill and professionalism that everything went smoothly. She helped make it a day we will never forget. Her pricing is so fair and you can tell she does it because she’s passionate. She is a reliable vendor that you won’t have to worry about. I feel like her videos don’t do her playing justice. Thank you so much for your hard work Naomi!

She will even learn new music if you have a special song in mind. I highly recommend Naomi for your wedding or event !
