The Elegant Harp transformed our cocktail hour at the Mansion at Tuckahoe - Jensen Beach into a fairytale with their enchanting melodies. Their exceptional skill and artistry created an atmosphere of pure magic. From classical compositions to contemporary tunes, every note was performed leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. The professionalism and flexibility of The Elegant Harp were outstanding, ensuring a seamless experience from consultation to reception. Their music was more than just background; it was a focal point of our celebration, elevating the entire experience to new heights. If you're seeking elegance and sophistication for your wedding, The Elegant Harp is an absolute must-have. Their talent and dedication to perfection made our day unforgettable.

Choosing Esther and The Elegant Harp for our ceremony musicians was the best choice we could have made for our wedding day. She and her other musicians did a wonderful job, and Esther was so beautifully warm, kind, professional, and easy to work with. She communicated so well and always warmly and with flexibility. We even asked if she could learn a song that is dear to us that is not part of her repertoire, and she did so with optimal ease, skill and grace. We are deeply grateful for the beautiful work they did. It was the most magical musical bliss we could've had. We are certain that we chose the best musicians to make the best day of our lives even more magical, and we are SO thankful for that. Please choose this team for your wedding day - you will find them enchanting!!!

From the very beginning, Ester at Elegant Harp set the beautiful tone for our daughter's reception!! Ester and her harp was the detail we were so excited about to make our guests feel extra special, and create an atmosphere of romance, which is exactly what she did. My only regret, is as mother of the bride, and is that I did not get a chance to just sit and listen to her. Truly beautiful. Ester was so easy and very professional to work with. I highly recommend Elegant Harp and Ester Underhay. I will definitely use Elegant Harp for other occasions as well. Such a beautiful touch to any event!!!

Esther played the harp during my wedding ceremony this past October 2023. The way she plays is so angelic and beautiful. Everyone at my wedding felt as though they walked into a Hollywood movie. She was a dream and a perfect aspect to my wedding. I highly recommend Esther as your musician during your ceremony. She also has an amazing husband who is a pastor/reverend and officiates weddings. They are so professional and a perfect duo! Highly recommend!

Twenty years ago as we celebrated our 30th anniversary we hired Esther to play at our renewal service and were very pleased with her music. This year as we planned our 50th celebration we were absolutely thrilled to be able to hire Esther again. On both occasions she filled the room with her beautiful music. Esther fulfilled all our requests and then some. If you are looking for someone to create your music memories at your special occasion then there could not be anyone better than Esther Underhay.

Esther was absolutely amazing to work with!!! She played both harp and piano at our wedding ceremony and reception in May and did a fantastic job. I was having difficulty selecting songs for the ceremony and she was so patient with me, helping me to pick songs over zoom by playing samples of each on her harp. I had so many guests comment on the relaxing environment that she created with her beautiful music. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a harpist or pianist for their event.

We hired Esther to be a special part of our big day and she was awesome to work with. She was communicative, sweet, and very flexible! She offered a long list of music and services to even learn songs if there was anything in particular that we wanted to play that wasn’t on the list. Our guests also loved her and still talk about her when we talk about our wedding, I would hire Esther again and again! Thanks so much for the memories and being apart of our day! 😊

I cannot begin to find the words to express the level of beauty and ambience that Esther with her Elegant Harp Trio created for our daughters wedding. The quality of music and overall elegance provided for the Ceremony and Cocktail hour simply said was "outstanding". We could not be more happy for the results, as Esther hit the mark with her image and song options. Esther worked closely with our daughter to select appropriate song choices both on and off Esther's playlist. If you did not hear Esther play "Hallelujah" you are missing something wonderful. Esther's Elegant Harp Trio was on premise and set up to play well before our guests started to arrive, and we received rave revues from everyone. Simply stated if you want an elegant, entertaining and professional addition to your event, look no further. We highly recommend The Elegant Harp, they met any and all what we envisioned to make our daughters wedding special. Janice and Paul M

Do not hesitate to hire Esther to perform at a Boldt Castle wedding. From our first conversation with her it was apparent that Esther was one part of our wedding day that we would not have to worry about. She walked us through choosing the perfect music for the ceremony & her playing set an unforgettable vibe as our guests arrived. She arrived promptly & was set up with plenty of time to spare. Professional, skilled & elegant, if Esther is available for your day, book her early & consider yourselves lucky!

Esther was our harpist for our wedding ceremony at the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden in West Palm beach last week. She was INCREDIBLE! From the very beginning, she was professional and kind and had a wide selection of music to choose from which made it very easy for us to pick and choose what we liked. Esther was one of the vendors that took little to no oversite because she is just so experienced and excellent at her craft. Her music really set the tone for an extremely memorable day. I would recommend Esther to perform with her harp to anyone who is planning an event :)

Esther and the band were off the chart amazing!!! Esther played the harp as we walked down the aisle, and even honored our request and played the Muppet theme for the recessional. We added a saxophone for the cocktail hour and the jazz band for the reception. From our first dance: "At Last" to the final song of the night, everything was perfect. In the words of my husband: "The jazz band just blew it out of the water. They are amazing!" Thank you so much to Esther, Julius and the entire band for helping make our wedding a dream come true! --Larisa and Howard

We have been lucky to experience Esther's talent ( in addition grace, collaboration, organization, efficiency, and kindness) twice! We hired her for ceremony music in 2017, and to celebrate our 5th anniversary we knew she would be the perfect person to help us revisit our special day. I will keep this short and sweet, but if you are wondering if you should contact Esther keep in mind that we valued her so much that 5 years later we hired her again.

Having Esther Underhay play her beautiful harp at our wedding at Boldt Castle, 1000 Islands, NY, this summer was one of the best decisions I made. From our very first conversation, to the planning session, to the day of the event, Esther was pleasant, easy to work with and very professional. Because of her years of experience playing at weddings, she was able to give me guidance and suggestions in picking the perfect music for our ceremony. Best of all, she had played many times at our venue, so she needed no help or direction from anyone to set up. One of my favorite memories from that day was nervously waiting in the dressing room and then hearing her begin to play. I knew that meant our family and friends were arriving. Thank you, Esther, for making our special day even better.

Giselle H

12/31/2021

Ms. Underhay and her team did an amazing job. They played during my cocktail hour and it absolutely elevated the event. I am so happy I was able to have her as part of my special day!!! I will definitely use her for any future events that deserve an extra touch of class.

She is extremely talented with what she does and you can't beat the price. I am so happy we found her and would highly recommend!

From the initial conversation, to the consultation session and to the actual day - Esther was gracious, pleasant and so easy to work with! Not only was Esther professional but also very flexible. I had a number of songs that I chose to be played during the prelude and the processional for all the other attendants, however, I had a hard time selecting the song that my husband and I would walk down to. My husband and I searched the internet and found and heard a harp cover of "All My Life" by KCI and JoJo - and we knew immediately that that is the song that we wanted Esther to play while we walked down the aisle. She did not have the music but she found the music and she played it so beautifully at our Blessing Ceremony! We weren't the only ones happy with Esther. In fact, several guests commented at how wonderfully she played and how soothing the music selection was. It was truly elegant just as the name suggests and the perfect addition to our big day! We would have it no other way. Thank you again Esther for being a blessing during our Blessing Ceremony! I would not hesitate to select you again for any future events. To all - if you want an elegant and sophisticated component for your ceremony or big day - hire The Elegant Harp. Thank you.

I contacted Esther and was so happy she was available for my Daughter's wedding. She was so kind and very accommodating. My daughter changed her mind a few times about the music. Esther did research on some songs we wanted played to be able to play them. She was happy to accompany a soloist sing Ave Maria. I had a quartet, they played prior to the wedding, during the ceremony and during the cocktail hour. Esther was easy to contact, helpful and so pleasant. I would hire her in a heartbeat> Maybe when the next daughter gets married. You will not be disappointed when hiring her and her colleagues.

response 07/16/2021

The wedding was incredibly beautiful at the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale. I look forward to the possibility of perhaps working with you again for your next daughter’s wedding. But no rush! All the best to you and yours, Esther

Esther was wonderful to work with. We had a meeting beforehand at her lovely home where she patiently went through her repertoire with us and allowed us to go through her song books to look for the songs we wanted to have played. She played us samples of the things we were looking at to give us a better idea of how a song would sound on the harp, which was immensely helpful. I knew I wanted a harpist at my wedding because I wanted a specific song played during my walk down the aisle. Esther learned the song at my request, which I so appreciated.

Esther is great!! She played beautifully for my ceremony and cocktail hour. All of my guests were in awe of the harp music. Esther is extremely easy to work with and communicate. She played a special request song for when I walked down the aisle and it was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend her as the harp was such a wow factor for my special day!

Esther M. Underway is the consummate professional. She is an extremely talented harpist! My daughter recently got married and Esther played the harp during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Esther was truly spectacular! The harp and her vast knowledge of music brought an air of elegance to the occasion! I highly recommend Esther for any function!

My husband-to-be & I knew exactly what we wanted. As he says, I am "very particular" (about just about everything), when I contacted other vendors, they could not guarantee which harpist would be playing (!!) and I wanted to be sure that the musicians were truly accomplished and really symphony quality. We made an appointment to go "hear" Esther play. She was so very understanding and played numerous pieces so that we could identify which music for each phase of the procession... We are "kinda" traditionally elegant in our tastes. She totally captured our spirit...was wonderful...did I mention that we also wanted a cellist to play along.....Shall I say from start to finish, the evening was Pure Magic and the music was Divine. Thank you Esther.

Absolutely AMAZING. When we first met to go over the music, she was open to play anything. She already has a huge list to choose from with all different types of genre. She played a few songs for us and after the first one, we were in tears. It was beautiful. Having Esther play the harp made our wedding. Everyone was so impressed and it was the highlight of the night. I promise you, that this will make your wedding stand out in an amazing way. You will not regret having Esther play at your wedding. The price is perfect and more than worth it. She is so kind and truly will do whatever to make your day special and elegant. BOOK HERE NOW!

My daughter had a small wedding, with family and very intimate. We wanted someone to play the Harp with elegant soothing music. Esther did just that. From the beginning to the end she was amazing! She was so professional. She played all of the requested songs. I am so happy we found her. I would highly recommend The Elegant Harp.

We chose Esther to play the harp, accompanied by cello, at our wedding ceremony at Vizcaya. Esther is a talented musician and was very professional to work with. She arrived on time and the music was beautiful.

Esther is such a lovely person to work with. She was kind and gracious and she didn’t mind the long list of crazy songs I had her and her fellow musicians play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour (game of thrones, Harry Potter, florence and the machine, etc.) the music was so beautiful, I felt like I was in a dream. I loved every single moment. Thank you so much for such a precious memory.
