We’ll never forget Devon's beautiful music as the soundtrack to our wedding! She was also really easy to work with knew how to play most of the songs we wanted (which were pretty obscure). For any that she didn’t know, she was able to learn without any hesitation! Highly recommend!
Devon was super easy to work with and the harp was absolutely lovely for our July wedding. Devon even showed up plenty early despite having to travel a fair distance and began playing right away! We got many compliments on how nice and unique the harp was!
Devon traveled the whole way to Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, PA on 12/9/17 for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! It was always my dream to have a harpist and violin list play, and all I can say is WOW! Awaiting my big moment to walk down the aisle I heard them playing inside before the doors opened and it was a ‘pinch me’ moment, realizing...omg, that is my wedding! That is the harp and violin! It gave me chills and was so beautiful! Devon’s selection of music was awesome and they played everything we chose exactly as planned. It really was quite a special touch to our ceremony, and the cocktail hour that followed. Thank you Devon and the Classic Harpist for making the long trip and creating such beauty with your music! If you are looking for a harp and violin solo, these are your people! Hands down amazing!!

Devon did a great job at our Fall outdoor wedding. She played a variety of songs -- pop, classical, Indian/Bollywood. She kept in touch with me (email) from the time I booked her to wedding day, answering my questions patiently and remembered all the details on the day of.
Devon did such a wonderful job at my wedding. It was very easy to communicate with her leading up to the wedding and she plays beautifully. We absolutely loved having her as an addition to the wedding and had so many compliments on her as well.
Devon is the best Musician for your event period!
Dont look nowhere else. So happy im ready to book another event next year!
Devon added a special touch to our wedding day. She traveled to Ottawa, IL to play at our ceremony. She is very approachable and was always quick to respond to emails. Received MANY compliments, she even got the groom to get teary eyed!
Devon was wonderful to work with. She was emailing me periodically just to make sure see what I wanted from here and to make sure nothing had changed since we had talked last. Her music was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend Devon to anyone wanting a harpist.
Devon was such a pleasure to work with! She responded quickly to all the emails I sent her and was such a great person! Her harp playing was amazing and was exactly what we wanted for our ceremony music! I would HIGHlY recommend Devon!
Devon was a true pleasure to work with! She was professional and prompt in all dealings leading up to the wedding. She made our ceremony perfect with her beautiful music.
Devon was fantastic. Very professional and responded quickly to emails. Her repertoire is extensive. I received a ton of complimemts!
Devon was amazing!! She was my favorite vendor and the music was gorgeous and the perfect background for our wedding ceremony. She was very organized and easy to work with--these aspects really stood out among our other vendors. She is also super responsive by email and has a very streamlined electronic process that made things easy to get set up from afar (our wedding was in Davenport but we planned it from Seattle). Nothing but great things to say and would recommend very highly! Our guests loved her, too!
We booked Devon for our wedding on 09-20-2013. The music sounded amazing and many of our guests asked where we found her. Each music selection change was seamless and made the ceremony go very smoothly. We felt she really went the extra mile with every aspect of he performance. Devon's personality was very pleasant and easy to deal with, (unlike some other harpists in our area), I highly recommend this harpist to anyone.

We used Devon for our ceremony and it was absolutely perfect! I wish that I could have heard all the music before I walked in because I was told time and time again that it was beautiful! I wanted my cousin to accompany Devon on a few songs throughout the ceremony and Devon worked with her before the wedding to make sure everything sounded good, which it did. I highly recommend her and her skills!
Devon’s harp music for our wedding was absolutely fabulous! We received so many compliments from our guests that she really made the day complete and added such a beautiful touch. She is very professional and more than exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended.
Devon is a joy to work with. She makes everything easy and takes the stress of planning off your hands. I had my wedding at International Friendship Gardens, the harp was the perfect addition to my garden wedding. Devon plays so skillfully, it really sets the scene. A MUST for anyone looking to add that extra touch of elegance to their wedding!
Devon Haupt was the perfect ceremony musician for our wedding at the Jewel Box in St. Louis. I cannot recommend her enough! Brides: do yourself a favor and hire Devon! Throughout the planning process, Devon was super easy to work with and accommodated all of my requests. I asked for a Disney piece (Part of Your World) to be played as I walked down the aisle, and she played it perfectly; it was subtle and wedding-appropriate! She was also proactive in the planning process, which was helpful when there are so many vendors to coordinate. She is clearly very practiced in the wedding arena, as she has an organized information sheet to make sure everything is in order (which songs coordinate with which parts of the wedding party and ceremony). We never had a rehearsal despite having a large wedding party, but you would have never known it by the way Devon kept everything running smoothly! Devon was the first person at the ceremony, and one of the last to leave. The music was wonderful, her harp was beautiful, and she was so kind. Thank you, Devon, for creating the perfect atmosphere for our wedding! We love you!
Devon is amazing!! She recently played during our October 2012 wedding ceremony. She was very professional throughout the whole planning experience and extremely tentative. She arrived on time and and was very professional. I truly believe our wedding ceremony wouldn't have had the same atmosphere without her talent. I would recommend her to anyone needing a harpist for upcoming events! Thanks again Devon :)
Devon did a great job providing music for our outdoor wedding at a garden. She provided an amplifier so that all the guests could hear the harp music. It was so much nicer to have live music rather than music on a cd. It was also less expensive than hiring a string quartet. She also can provide music at receptions or duets with another harp or with any string instrument. Really glad we found her!
I was so excited about the idea of having a harpist play at our wedding. When I contacted Devon she was booked for our October 13th wedding. When she said her husband Jeff would be able to play I was thrilled! Devon and Jeff were friendly, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. Due to a change in Devon's schedule, she was able to accompany Jeff to our wedding. I am so thankful that they were both there. We had plans for an outdoor ceremony and due to bad weather, we moved it indoors. Devon and Jeff were very flexible and everything was so seamless! We received many compliments on the music. What a wonderful addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour! I would highly recommend them and so happy they were a part of our special day!
Devon was just simply amazing! Her services were actually the second (next to the venue) that I had booked, since her schedule books up so fast! In the months leading up to the wedding, she was very active in her communication with me and responded to all of my emails promptly. This really helped ease my nerves in the wedding planning process. About 2 months before the wedding, she came to our home for an in-person rehearsal with a friend of mine who was to also play violin. Devon was incredibly professional, prepared, and adaptable - she definitely knew what she was doing!!! The day of the wedding, she showed up early (and even dressed in our wedding colors!), and began right on time. Our wedding was outdoors in a forest preserve, and the sound of strings was so enchanting and added such a memorable touch to our day! She even created sheet music for my husband and I's song (Not Fire, Not Ice by Ben Harper), and even created sheet music for the violinist to accompany her!
One of the most influential things I remember is Devon's call to save the day! The microphone and speakers I had rented for the ceremony weren't working at all, and we almost thought that we would have to do without. Devon had a portable amp in her car (for use for her harp), and we ended up using the amp for the mic during the ceremony!! She was so incredibly helpful and definitely saved the day!
Devon went above and beyond my expectations in every single way possible. I HIGHLY recommend her, and she was much more affordable than I expected. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!
I am so happy that I chose Devon to be my harpist at my Sept 1st wedding. Everyone at my wedding raved at how beautiful she sounded and what a nice touch it was. She was very willing to work with me as well since my wedding was outside and it rained up until we had to be there. Also, not only dose she play the harp beautifully she is also an officiant, and since we began to wonder if mine was going to show up (he got lost) it was great to have a back-up. If I ever have the chance to use her again I most deffinately will!!
Arthur and I were married this past June 30th at an apple orchard in NW Indiana. We hired Devon to play the music at our ceremony.
She was very easy to work with as we planned for our big day. We had no problem picking our music choices form her huge list of offerings.
On the day of our wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. She found the ceremony site and set up with no problem. All I remember is hearing her BEAUTIFUL music; that is totally how it SHOULD be!!
What an AMAZING addition to our ceremony! Thank you Devon for such lovely music and being a part of our PERFECT day!!

Devon was a pleasure to work with, very helpful, accomodating and it was one of the vendor I DID NOT have to manage, so that was a plus. she knew what to ask ahead of time and everything!
All my guests were EXTREMELY impress by the harp, the music, the player and the ambiance it all created together.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Devon's harp music really set the tone I wanted for our wedding and the early part of the reception. She is extremely talented and very easy to work with! I highly recommend her!
Devon was perfect! She played so beautifully, it really made my wedding day even more amazing. We chose non-traditional music for the wedding and she didn't once question our selections.
It was nice knowing that no matter how crazy the day was, I knew she was going to be there! She was extremely professional through the entire process and I am so glad I found her! I highly recommend her for your event!
I had Devon play her harp at our wedding and it was simply beautiful. Our wedding was small at the QC Botanical Center and I just wanted something simple. I wanted different, more non-traditional music and it worked perfectly. It was basically very easy all handled via email. Very professional and reliable. I couldn't have asked for a better day! All my family and friends commented on the music and I remember before I walked down the aisle I stopped to listen and I was so captivated by the music that I wanted that moment to last forever!
Thanks Devon! You are awesome and greatly appreciated:)
Devon did a great job at my wedding! I received numerous comments on how wonderful the harp and violin were, which were a great addition to the wedding. People were just mesmorized by it all! Thank you Devon!
Devon played her Harp for our wedding ceremony. She was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She responded very quickly to all our emails. She was very professional and organized. She kindly helped us pick our ceremony songs since we were unfamiliar with most of the wedding music. Her music was absolutely beautiful at our outdoor ceremony. Thank you so much Devon for making our wedding beautiful!
Devon's work was fabulous. My now-husband and I wanted some very specific songs played for our wedding and were overjoyed what Devon was able and willing to learn them. Devon played the songs beautifully. In particular, we asked her to play a somewhat obscure song that we love for when I walked down the aisle. I have to say, it was my favorite part of the wedding to hear that song while I walked down the aisle. We'd recommend Devon to anyone who is looking for a professional, reliable, and talented musician.
Everyone was going crazy about how beautful Devon's ceremony music was. Her music on the harp made the whole ceremony. We did the traditional Canon in D and Bride's Chorus coming in, then during the sand ceremony, Devon played 'Come Sail Away' by Styx. After our introductions as husband and wife, Devon started in with 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns 'N' Roses! I was so happy she was so versatile. She can make any song sound elegant! We didn't even buy flowers for the outdoor ceremony. Just nature and the harp was all we needed! Thanks again!!

I first heard Devon play at a friend's wedding I attended and was blown away. I knew that when I got married that I had to have her to play at my wedding. After my engagement, I contacted Devon and booked her right away. She was friendly, professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process.
As many brides are with wedding planning, I was overwhelmed about choosing what music I wanted to play. There is so much to chose from! Devon was so helpful in picking beautiful pieces to play at the ceremony. It was such a relief to know that I did not have to worry about the small details!
At the reception, I received countless compliments about how wonderful the music was. I would recommend Devon to anyone!
We had Devon play at our July 2011 wedding ceremony and her music was beautiful! Everyone commented on how nice it was that we had a harp and how well it sounded. Aside from her musical talent, Devon is a pleaure to work with. She responded to all of our inquiries quickly and even had musical suggestions when we were confused on what to pick. I would HIGHLY recommend Devon for anyone looking to add a unique and elegant touch to thier wedding!
I booked Devon to play at my daughter’s wedding and the music was over the top. I have never heard music played on the harp prior to my daughter’s wedding and it made the event very special and elegant.
Devon also was very punctual, professional and had great communications skills…I had so much to worry about and issues that rose from the wedding and it was REFRESHING that Devon was not one of them.
I would recommend Devon to anyone that would like to have memorable wedding day.
