Tori Parrish, the Luxury Harpist, is an exceptional professional musician based out of Asheville, NC. Folkmoot USA was thrilled with Tori’s gratis performance of enchanting Italia...
n melodies at our Summer Soireé, an international affair that celebrated diverse cultural cuisines and music from around the globe. The evening was transformed as her grand orchestral harp resonated with exquisite tones that captivated our patrons. Tori’s presence added a touch of sophistication and elegance to the evening. Folkmoot USA is deeply grateful for Tori's friendship, generous contribution and support.
I knew I really wanted harp music to accompany my wedding ceremony, and as I searched for a harpist, I listened to sample pieces by a few different musicians. Tori’s style was exac...
tly what I was looking for - the beautiful, lilting, classic sound you hear in your head when you think of harp music. I contacted her and we were immediately able to connect to talk about a date, possible music selections, and the booking process. Tori’s communication was thorough yet simple, so even though I didn’t have a wedding planner, I easily understood what I needed to do and when, what I was getting, and how things would work leading up to and including the day of the event.
I ended up being a lot more selective on music choices than I thought I would be, and Tori was happy to accommodate all of my requests! Her repertoire is extensive. She even arranged a custom piece for us that was a very special, personal addition to our wedding day.
Everything was picture perfect on the day of our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests were super impressed by the live harp music. They said it was so lovely, I wish I had been able to sit and enjoy the prelude with them! In addition to providing the perfect sound, both Tori and the harp were a visually stunning addition to our ceremony. Book her - you and your guests will be in for a treat!
Tori’s presence at our wedding celebration made our day incredibly special and relaxing! Having Tori playing the harp during the prelude and ceremony was a treat - we could hear th...
e harp music as we finished getting ready! Even our guests on zoom heard the music and couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. The whole process of working with Tori was streamlined, professional and effortless! They communicated promptly and provided comprehensive details well in advance of the day to ensure everything was coordinated. Tori also made the process of choosing music so easy. Other than our song for walking down the aisle, we didn’t have strong preferences. Tori got to know our personalities and preferences and made music choices for us that fit the mood of our gathering and ceremony perfectly! We heard some samples of the music during our planning session and were already touched and tearing up. Working with Tori was truly one of the least stressful parts of planning the wedding and we never had to worry about music in the ceremony. We also cried when they sent us the special recording of their arrangement of Ben Platt’s “So Will I” that we loved for walking down the aisle. It was so special to have personalized and unique music arranged for our day, and a commemorative recording we can listen to forever. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough! Thank you so much Tori!!

Could not recommend Tori highly enough for your special day!! We were so excited to be able to hold a wedding for our dear friends and family after all that has happened during the...
pandemic, and I’ve always dreamed of having a harpist at my wedding to lend that bit of extra magic through music. Once I reached out to Tori, she set up a phone call with my partner and I so we could share what we were looking for. She was extremely professional and able to make great suggestions for what types of songs to play and when, both for the ceremony and reception afterwards. It was super helpful, since my partner and I don’t really have experience and just had a general idea and Tori was able to help us nail down a concrete plan for the music! On the day of, she played so beautifully and totally nailed what we had wanted. A number of our guests even commented on how impressed they were by her playing! My parents have always loved classical music and I think it was really special for them as well (can’t say Tori’s music was 100% the cause of my dad’s emotional waterworks but it definitely contributed!) Her playing just made the whole experience feel really elegant and special. Tori is also such a delight to work with, has a great sense of humor and is of course extremely professional and a fantastic musician. Look no further!
Tori did an excellent job playing during both our ceremony and cocktail hour! I’d always wanted a harpist to play at my wedding so when I found Tori, I couldn’t wait to reach out. ...
She got back to me very quickly to set up a consultation. During our first discussion, she asked a lot of questions so that she could get a feel for what my husband and I were wanting. She was very professional and kind during the entire process and made it all so easy for us! On the day of, she arrived prepared and on time. Many of my guests complimented her playing and I couldn’t be more pleased with the songs she performed!
Amazing. Attentive. Detailed. Kind. Beautiful.
The pandemic created a lot of uncertainty and so many changes to the dates how we wanted to set up our day. Tori was so patient and ...
helped me create ideas that really put the perfect touches to our ceremony. Everyone was blown away that we had such a talented and amazingly beautiful soul with a tremendous gift. I am so, so thankful!
