Hillary made our wedding day absolutely magical and perfect. She is extremely talented and was able to accommodate our requests to a tee. She is great to work with, so friendly, and her music makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. We opted for something less common that we didn’t think any artist would know/ be able to learn in such a short amount of time, but Hillary was already prepared for our silly request and executed it perfectly. She was able to help me in deciding which music would sound good for transitions, for the procession and recession. It was listening to her music that kept me from crying all the way down the aisle! So thankful for Hillary and her wonderful harpist skills.
I wrote the review below. I reached out to Hillary via email telling her that she ruined many of our photos and said that I feel she owes us some of our money back. She hasn't even responded. NOTHING. Add to this, she said she would arrive early and I have other photos showing her bringing her harp up the stairs through the crowd.
Of course there are always some issues that occur during the wedding, but her being so inconsiderate of us taking photos, not playing when she was supposed to be playing and being so well paid to be there for such a short time, hmmmmm...I would think twice before hiring her for an event that there are no retakes.
I was so upset to see Hillary in the background of many of our photo. She was RUDELY packing ups while we were taking photos, which she can't be edited out :(
I don't know why the photographer didn't ask her to move or she didn't allow common sense to prevail and step away and wait till we were done. She was paid EXTREMELY WELL for playing less than 45 min. We spent thousands of dollars on photos and the ones with my four kids, whom I haven't had all four together in years are ruined with her in the photo. She was paid $400.00 to play for such a short time, JUST during the ceremony. I just am so disappointed that she didn't have enough courtesy to wait to pack up until we were done with photos. I would not hire her again because of this. She ruined some very precious photos.
