o play it for our ceremony, and they did! Absolutely more than we imagine and so beautiful. We knew we wanted a harpist from the beginning, and I am so happy we booked Robin. She is truly amazing at what she does! We only sent Robin about 4 songs to play total, but the ceremony didn't start on time because of us having to wait for a trolley dropping off some of the guests at the ceremony. So Robin and the violinist kept playing other songs during the time we were waiting and they were all beautiful. Beyond impressed!
