About this vendor

Imagine magical harp music for your dream wedding!

I love to share the magic of harp music from proposals to bridal showers, elopements, and weddings / cocktail hours / receptions, to baby showers! Since my first piano lesson at age seven, I have been passionate about music, and trained in classical piano and violin at Oberlin College in Ohio. Twenty-five years ago I fell in love with the beauty and mystery of the Celtic harp, and it has been my passion ever since. It is elegant, ethereal, and enchanting -- you will be delighted by the gorgeous sound. In a personal music consultation, we will design together a program especially for you, filled with your special songs to create an enchanting atmosphere for a wedding you will always cherish. I perform Classics to Popular: just a few examples are -- Classical: Pachelbel Canon -- one of the favorite songs for the grand entrance of the bride! Here Come the Bride (Bridal Chorus) Bridal March (occasionally is requested for the conclusion of the ceremony) Ave Maria Terpsichore ( you can hear this beautiful Renaissance song on my website videos page.) Popular: A Thousand Years All I Ask of You All of Me (John Legend) Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) Marry Me (Train) Marry You (Bruno Mars) Perfect (Ed Sheeran) Tale as Old as Time (Beauty and the Beast) Wonderful Tonight "Oldies" :) Beatles -- including All My Loving, Hey Jude, Here Comes the Sun Can't Help Falling in Love with You Dancing in the Moonlight My Girl (or Guy!) Unchained Melody When You Wish Upon a Star My music also includes beautiful songs from the Celtic/Irish, Spanish, and Israeli/Middle Eastern traditions. I look forward to hearing from you, and the opportunity to make your wedding extra-special and unique! Sincerely, Amy

As a wedding videographer, capturing the perfect moments is crucial, and Amy Lynn helps create those moments with her beautiful harp music. She is an incredibly talented harpist whose music adds a magical touch to any wedding. Her friendly and kind demeanor makes working with her a delight. She is always professional, accommodating, and truly cares about making the day special for the couple. Her music not only enhances the atmosphere but also adds a lovely auditory element to the video. I can't recommend her enough!

Amy was fantastic! She played during our ceremony and cocktail hour for our outdoor wedding. Hearing the sound of her playing as I walked out was so comforting and beautiful. Amy was also very professional and contacted us well ahead of time to prepare the schedule of the songs and our preferred songs. She was even open to learning new and special songs for us. I loved their enthusiasm and kindness throughout this stressful process and am lucky to have wonderful vendors like her who make it feel seamless.

I booked Amy for an outdoor tea party shower. It added such elegance people are still talking about it. The music was loud enough to enjoy and yet still be able to have conversations. She did bring an amp just in case but didn’t need it. Amy has an extensive list of songs to choose from but I asked her to pick them and was very happy with her selections. She is professional and very friendly and even invited guests to come up afterward and check out the harp which we did. We communicated a lot prior to the event and she was accommodating when I had to change the time due to the midday heat. I highly recommend Amy if you are looking for a harpist.

Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2023

We hired Amy , to play at our wedding ceremony this January. She is an amazing artist, incredibly talented, professional, kindhearted, punctual and reliable. Amy is such a sweetheart to work with, and she made this whole experience easy and enjoyable , and was in a constant communication with us , the months leading up to our wedding, making sure we are happy with the music selection, sending us different song options , and so on. Her music the day of the wedding was incredibly beautiful , and exactly what we have envisioned for our special day :)

Our experience working with Amy for harp music at our wedding ceremony was truly excellent from beginning to end. She was very thoughtful and caring throughout the entire process, and helped us put together a sequence of songs that felt very aligned with our vision. She is punctual, professional, and a gifted musician. Amy and her music added so much beauty and presence to our ceremony. I absolutely recommend choosing Amy to provide harp instrumental for your event!

Amy played both our ceremony and cocktail hour and she was absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments on her beautiful music and she set the mood and tone so so well. She is more than reasonably priced and absolutely worth the investment of having live music instead of a speaker. She has a long list of songs and is willing to learn requests too! A dream to work with and so communicative and kind :) couldn’t recommend more!

Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2022

The music was a beautiful addition to our special day and the fact she was willing to learn music specific to us as a couple truly made it magical. The flexibility in Amy’s schedule when we had a last minute delay was absolutely amazing despite her other commitments later that day! I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for something unique and delightful on their on wedding day!

Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2018

Thank you so much for such an enthusiastic review, Desiree! It was an honor to share harp music magic with you and your guests on your big day!

Amy was awesome! I had very little idea about what songs I wanted, all I knew is that I wanted a harpist. Amy patiently helped me pick songs and was very easy to work with. She let me know right away if there was a song I mentioned that could not be played on the harp and she quickly suggested a substitute. Her music is beatiful, and she did a great job!

Effortlessly harmonious Amy is while playing her harp. The angelic sounds will fill your space with a luxurious warmth that only live music can bring. Any occasion, she's perfect.

I have had the pleasure to hear Amy’s beautiful harp playing many times as I am a wedding officiant and Amy has performed at several weddings I have done. I have enjoyed hearing her play at other events and I am so impressed with her talent and professionalism. Her harp playing is exquisite and she has an amazing background in so many different instruments as well. I recently worked with Amy on a 100 degree day in summer at a wedding. She was playing the music for quite a while before the ceremony began when we received word that the ceremony was going to be delayed for 45 minutes. The guests all went inside to cool off and Amy stayed in the heat and continued to play in case they came back out. What a Trooper, I was so impressed. She adds such beauty to all the events with her gifted musical ability.

My wedding was on 12/13/2013 I NEVER give a 5 out of 5 rating, but for Amy, I could not give anything else. Amy was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. I live in Chicago and my wedding was in San Diego. Although we could not meet before the wedding, Amy responded to my phone calls and emails almost immediately. She learned several songs per our request and she played beautifully during the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Amy to anyone for their wedding or any event. She added a touch of elegance and class to our wedding no other musician could have offered. Jeannette from Chicago
