We were absolutely thrilled to have Sarah play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Her music added such a beautiful, elegant touch to the entire day, and it truly made our ...
celebration all the more magical.
One of the most meaningful touches was that she learned a brand new piece for us from Final Fantasy IX to play as I walked down the aisle. Hearing that music performed live on a harp during such an important moment was so moving, and it's something my husband and I will remember for the rest of our lives.
Sarah's playing throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour was simply stunning. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to her; it created such a lovely, intimate and relaxed ambiance.
We are so grateful to Sarah's care and talent she brought to our wedding day. If you are looking for a harpist or considering live music for your wedding day, we cannot recommend Hummingbird Harmonies highly enough!

music was beautiful! Would 100% recommend and would love to work with her in the future.
Sarah was an absolute dream! She came highly recommended by our wedding planner, Coralie of White Tie Planner. We had high expectations going in, and she exceeded all of them. She ...
was easy to work and communicate with, picked up on our vibe immediately, and recommended great songs from her repertoire to play throughout the day. We requested she add 3 songs for the processional, bride entrance, and recessional, and she crushed them. We almost cried hearing her play. Our guests also loved her playing. We have gotten nothing but rave reviews about how she did during the ceremony and cocktail hour. If we ever have the chance to hire a harpist for something again, we will absolutely go to Sarah first.
Sarah, if you read this, thank you a million for helping make our wedding so perfectly enchanting!
Sarah is so amazing!! We had the pleasure of having her play at our wedding this year, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her music added a charming and cultivated ...
presence to our cermony and cocktail hour, while also incorporating our own style. She offers a diverse catalog of genres and songs that allows you to curate a song list that is both personal and tailored to your vision. She is also so incredibly kind, professional, and makes it a priority to meet your needs to her best ability. My husband and I both had songs that we wanted to walk down the aisle to and she was able to learn and play them beautifully at our wedding. Sarah also makes it a priority to make all of her couples feel special and supported throughout the wedding planning process. If you're looking for a musician who is talented, professional and committed to their couples - Sarah is your person!

our, and Sarah fit that need so perfectly. She is incredibly organized and has such a wide range of song selections to choose from. She also stays on top of new music as well, and learned a newer song for our bridal procession! Hearing her begin the song I was walking down to as I was hiding behind the doors waiting to enter was a moment that nearly drove me to tears, as music is so important to me.
Working with Sarah was very easy, and she is incredibly timely and professional (in addition to being a wonderful person in general). I would highly recommend her if you are looking to add a harpist to your event!

ur first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

ons, and the next excuse I have to hire her, I'd love to! It was so easy to work with her. I cried after our first meeting, because I finally felt calm and supported. We both cried listening to a recording of a song she arranged/played for us. She provided clear communication, enthusiastically knew how to support our visions and make our day work the way we wanted, and made me feel at-ease about the capital-W Wedding Day. During our wedding, my guests LOVED her and we even had a sing-along during dinner. Not everything that day went 100% perfectly, and she so professionally rolled with it. (I actually had no idea at the time, I found out later) :D Five Stars, would shop again. Sarah- THANK YOU

the ceremony because we loved so many of the songs on her list and wanted them at our wedding! The day of the wedding she was prompt, dressed for our black tie event, and our planner said she was the best harpist she had ever worked with!
We were nervous when Sarah got COVID 11 days before our wedding, but she communicated with us extensively those last two weeks, including having back-up performers in case she wasn't able to make it. Her music was angelic and our guests are still raving about it! Thank you, Sarah!
