Esther is amazing
The Fabulous Esther!
On the wedding day, she was not only incredibly talented, but also looked stunning in a beautiful gold dress that fit the setting perfectly. Her music created such a magical, romantic ambiance, and so many of our guests commented on how lovely it was.
Esther was professional, kind, responsive, and a joy to work with from start to finish. We are so grateful she was part of our day and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a truly special harpist.

Enchanting, magical, and perfect!
Beautiful soul music
I asked what she would recommend to play as I was walking down the aisle, she began to strum those beautiful strings with absolute love and devotion and I burst into tears. The sounds went right into my soul and I immediately knew this was what I wanted for my wedding.
My guests all commented on how beautiful the music was.
I highly recommend her services for any occasion not only a very special occasion like a wedding.
A Perfect Touch!

I don't know where to begin to write about Ester Underhay and her amazing harp skills. The love she has for her art you can feel through her music, and hear in your heart. She preforms all of the classics, as well as plays music you'd hear on today's music stations. She is always dressed elegantly, with a warm smile that reaches her eyes. Ester is one of a kind.
Esther is an awesome Harpist and an elegant, sophisticated individual. We've worked with her (and her husband, Pastor Paul Underhay) often through the years and they are consummate professionals. If you want class, elegance, grace, and most of all talent playing beautiful music, choose Esther.
Esther does a wonderful job providing the perfect background music for your ceremony! Always the consummate professional!
