. She even learned a new song for our wedding! Her harp is beautiful, and she was so sweet to spend a few minutes showing my very interested niece how it all worked while she warmed up. 10 out of 10.

Wow, Heather was one of our favorite things about our wedding ceremony! From the beginning, Heather was quick to respond to emails and so kind when we had to postpone our wedding. ...
Heather and I worked together to find the perfect songs for the ceremony. The harp is so beautiful and romantic… I am smiling just thinking about our song choices. I remember the moment we were lining up to walk down the aisle and I could hear the song my girls were about to walk down to (I can’t help falling in love with you by Elvis) and my heart was melting it sounded so beautiful. Heather was the most perfect and romantic touch to our wedding day. I would book Heather over and over again.

pulling together music for our ceremony and guiding us every step of the way. She even learned a new song for us and worked with my brother so that he could accompany her by singing in one.

She really made it memorable!

thin the day. Her music was beautiful and made our reception magical. I loved how she asked us to pick a few songs beyond her current selection, and made it special by learning them for our ceremony. She was truly kind and allowed us to personalize the playlist and even offered suggestions that suited each of our personalities. The music she played was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed her company at our wedding. I can’t give her enough praise for her wonderful music and her true professionalism. Thank you Heather for everything and making our reception that more special.
Heather is amazing!! I attended a family members wedding in which Heather was playing, and I performed a small role in the ceremony so I got to sit up close and watch her play. So ...
gorgeous!! She actually played a piece written by the groom for the ceremony. It was performed beautifully and I thought it was very accommodating of her to be willing to learn it. Having a harp at a wedding brings such an element of elegance and Heather herself only adds to that ambiance. She’s the only harpist I’d ever hire for a wedding!
She was great! We would highly recommend.
Heather was incredible and made our wedding ceremony so much more special and memorable with her musical talent. I felt at ease from our very first correspondence as she was very...
receptive to our requirements and made expert recommendations regarding song selections and overall flow during the ceremony. Heather provided great communication throughout our planning and was very flexible and helpful in the last few days leading up to the wedding (especially during this time of COVID-19). We initially thought about a pianist for the wedding, but are so glad we decided on a harpist as the harp added such a touch of elegance to our ceremony. I can't recommend Heather enough!
We hired Heather to play at our wedding reception and we’re beyond satisfied with her service. She is extremely flexible and really works with you to ensure your requests are taken...

en understand/speak Arabic but went above and beyond to ensure everything would be just that special! She practiced everything and went on to play so flawlessly and beautifully at the wedding! Everyone was astonished and in love! So happy I found her and was able to hire her for my wedding! Would do again over and over again. Thank you for being so easy to communicate with and for loving what you do!

important to me and they nailed it! I was so pleased! She also asked questions in regards to the arrangements to ensure I had everything that I wanted and helped coordinate a rehearsal with the pianist. On top of it for sure! She is also a sweet and kind person who goes out of her way to serve others.
I had the privilege of seeing Heather perform at a mutual friend's wedding and then at her own father's funeral. She is elegant, poised and perfectly in tune with her audience and ...
her instrument. She cares deeply about how her music makes you feel and will go to great lengths to exceed your expectations. If I ever need a harpist, I will arrange my event around Heather's schedule. I am honored to call this talented musician my friend!
Heather played harp at my wedding, and it was so beautiful! She is very professional and also a wonderful friend! I would highly recommend her for weddings and any other events!
We were beyond blessed to have Heather perform for our wedding and wedding rehearsal! Heather sent organized emails asking things about the order people are walking, where I want ...
songs placed as people are seating and so many other important factors that get you, as the bride, to envision the set. These questions helped me so much, especially since I had no idea where to begin! Heather has a personal website full of song suggestions, as she will in addition share more to help guide you in what you are looking for, for your event. She is happy to learn new pieces to accommodate in what you are wanting played. She replies fast to emails and is extremely thorough in helping any way possible. I had trouble narrowing down the music choices and where to plug them into; guest seating, father walking bride, flower girl, bridesmaids and groomsmen, ring bearer, sand pouring then the exit and walk out, but she hugely ironed out my overwhelmed brain freezes! Heather played around and had tempo suggestions and input for adjusting things to blend smoothly, so we could have the music we wanted. She played my beloved favorite chamber music, since she has a natural ear and gift, she knew which key would best work on the harp.
You can see and hear her love for this instrument! Her harp Genesis is immaculate and all guests were thrown for a surprise! The sound is perfect and her fluidity is flawless! She had no problem traveling over 45 miles to the venue, twice. She confirms all times and details as she prefers to arrive very early for set up. In addition, the price was fantastic, her value exceeds what she asks for. She is extremely easy to talk to and really knows her stuff! I couldn't recommend a better musician!
