And so it rained . . . the clouds parted and the wedding proceeded. My harp and I were safe and dry on the deck of the log cabin. What a stunning view we had of the Blud Ridge Mountains!

Virginia played at my wedding ceremony and was incredible. The entry and exit music was lovely and she even found something to play under one of the readings, which made the poem sound even more beautiful.

What can I say? Virginia was the first vendor I hired. I had to have a Harp! The day finally came and the clouds were building over the mountains, but the Harp was there. It never rained and the music was incredibly beautiful I heard so may compliments. Thank you Virginia! You rock!

Virginia was a dream to work with! We met at her home about a year prior to my daughter's wedding to choose the music. Closer to the wedding we went to Bare Necessities, the cafe in Nellysford where she plays on Sundays. Virginia played our selections which brought me to tears. It was beautiful. We would wholeheartedly recommend Virginia and will miss working with her!

My experience with Virginia was just wonderful! She is very prompt in returning emails and answered all of my questions very thoroughly. She is very organized and on my son's wedding day, she and her colleague made the atmosphere .... magical. We had both the harp and violin. Virginia is so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Virginia.

I found it very useful to sit with Virginia as she suggested and played songs she thought would suit our personalities and the type of wedding we were having. She has binders full of wonderful, beautiful songs that I loved listening to, many of which I hadn't heard before. Together, we selected a beautiful program of songs, that flowed together seamlessly. The wedding day was perfect, and every guest commented on how lovely the harp music was. Virginia even put my rambunctious little cousin to sleep, which helped everything go smoothly! I would definitely recommend Virginia to other couples, and would suggest that they give her a good listen beforehand, as she will be able to suggest songs that most people likely haven't heard on harp before.

With great artistry, imagination and a sense of nuance, Virginia helped to create an enchanting atmosphere for our wedding in June, playing a program that perfectly matched our celebration's style. She also collaborated very harmoniously with Terra Voce, the talented cello-flute duo we also worked with for our special day. We are grateful to Virginia and would highly recommend her!

My daughter and I envisioned a special and unique musical accompaniment for her wedding ceremony and Virginia delivered with flying colors! It was very important that the instruments, the musical selections, and the delivery fit the bucolic setting of our country home in Virginia and she graciously addressed all of our requests. We worked with Virginia to determine a delightful assortment of music and added a flautist to accompany her harp with amazing results. It's been almost two months since the wedding and I can still hear their incredible music wafting throughout the house and pouring onto the front lawn where the ceremony was held and down the valley! Magnificent!

Virginia played the harp for our ceremony and cocktail hour and It really was the most beautiful harp playing I have ever heard! It really made the ceremony and started the celebration off right. She did a beautiful mix of classics with more contemporary pieces that seemed to make everyone that much more nostalgic! We had the opportunity to see her home studio and beautiful collection of harps which was just amazing - she gave great suggestions for pieces during the ceremony when we didn't have anything specific in mind and was even willing to learn a special piece for us "A Thousand Years" because it meant so much to us!
