We had such a wonderful experience with Marissa! She went out of her way to learn a special song for our wedding ceremony and played it perfectly, which made the moment even more m...
emorable.
Her music added such an elegant and timeless touch to our day, and our guests really enjoyed the familiar songs from her beautiful repertoire.
She was very friendly, professional, and a joy to work with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her if you want to add a truly special musical element to your wedding!
So nice !!!
All my husband wanted for our wedding was some sort of live music at cocktail hour and during our ceremony and when we found Marissa we knew it was perfect. Her playing is so elega...
nt and her repertoire is so large too. Everyone enjoyed that detail during that part of our day. It was absolutely incredible.
I decided on a Disney UP theme for my wedding and Marissa learned the Disney UP theme song for me to walk down the aisle to! The guests loved her during cocktail hour and she was a...
ble to project her sound even in an outdoor setting! Incredibly easy to work with!
We had Marissa recommended to us by our cantor from Immaculate Conception (Yugo Ikach) when I mentioned that I would like a harpist during the ceremony (and especially for my entra...
nce). She was absolutely wonderful. We had many musicians at our ceremony - a cantor, an organist and a trumpeter in addition to her - but the transitions were absolutely seamless and her pieces were flawless. She was very talented and I have gotten compliments about her skill (and the overall presence of a harp) from some who were in attendance. Especially since we were not able to afford live musicians for the reception, it was incredible to have such a talented musician at the ceremony, and she added a really elegant and classic vibe to the ceremony. I would definitely recommend her to other brides-to-be!
Marissa is an amazing musician and extremely organized professional. Her playing added so much beauty and elegance to our wedding reception. Not only is she a talented artist, sh...
e is wonderful to work with and will make any wedding special and stress free.

ny praises from guests over her music. Marissa was extremely accommodating, professional and easy to work with.

Marissa was very easy to work with and also flexible in picking the music for our songs. Since we love video games and the bride plays harp, it was only natural that we request the...
Fairy Fountain song from Zelda (which Marissa actually already knew), and it sounded incredible (in addition to the other lovely songs)
Marissa plays beautifully and is so friendly and organized. Highly recommended.
My husband insisted that a harpist play at our wedding. Marissa is such a talented harp player, and her "Here comes the Bride" truly made me feel like an angel when I was walking d...
own the aisle. I was slightly worried that since my wedding ceremony was in a very large church, that the harp music "wouldbe lost" however, it was loud, and beautiful. I highly recommend Marissa!
It rained, she left after playing 1 and 1/2 songs. Paid $600 because she wouldn't move the harp inside.
Marissa did a wonderful job for our ceremony.
Made our wedding ceremony. Excellent harpist.
