  Sweet Sounds

  Sara was very professional and so fun! She was serious about providing the exact experience we wanted, but fun and easy to work with. Her song catalog is full of music that goes way beyond the typical wedding selections… movie soundtracks, current pop music, and classics… my daughter chose a fun mix. All of our guests loved the harp music.

  I loved Sara's performance at my wedding last week. She was the talk of the ceremony and really brought the feeling to life. We requested a "Whole New World" a song not on her list- and arranged it herself. It was truly a magical night. I would hire her again if I could! She was timely, professional, and flexible.

  This was an added treat for me from my Mom! Sara made our ceremony more beautiful and actually hearing her play was making me tear up before I walked down the aisle. Very professional too!

  I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Sara. So many of our guests were impressed by her talent and complimented her all night. She offers such a huge selection of music - from classics to modern. She was also able to compose a song that is near and dear to my mother and played it so beautifully on our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend her.

  The one thing that everyone commented on about our ceremony was the harpist. They were so impressed with the modern selection and the uniqueness of having a harpist at our ceremony! The only downside was, as the bride, I didn't get to listen to much of her prelude music. However, the excitement and enjoyment the guests had over her being there was completely worth it! Sara was also very responsive, reasonably priced, and incredibly talented. Although she would sometimes take a day or two to respond to e-mails, she was highly responsive and answered any questions in great detail and gave great suggestions.

  AMAZING. Hands down easily one of my favorite venders to work with. Sara was recommended by our venue and we got to hear her at one of their open houses. We booked a listening appointment with her which she had to reschedule. She gave me plenty of advance warning about the rescheduling so I wasn't upset at all, but she felt bad and offered us a discount to make up for it. At our listening appointment she was very enjoyable to talk to and she played tons of songs for us to hear. It really helped us to narrow down the choices for ceremony music. She had good advice and a good sense of humor. I have received tons of compliments about how beautiful the ceremony music was. Sara is very professional, a beautiful musician and a great person.

  This was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. The music was beautiful. All of the guests gushed over how pretty the harp music was. It set the tone for a romantic wedding.
  
  Sara was very professional. She paid attention to the details of the wedding. There were no akward pauses, all of the music flowed beautifully. She answered all communications quickly. I recommend her highly.

  I sobbed throughout, and the crowd fell in love! She was absolutely amazing and played some great tunes! The best, in my opinion, was the recessional of "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.

  Sara went ABOVE AND BEYOND!! So much positive feedback from my guests. If you are debating on whether or not to spend the little extra to have Sara as your musician, I highly recommend you do it!! She had no problem playing songs that weren't on her song list, even on short notice. Having one of my favorite songs play as the recessional was a magical, special moment that I can't put a price tag on. Thank you Sara for your amazing talent, it really was a fairy tale wedding!!

  Sara Shute (Essential Harp) provided ceremony and cocktail hour music for our daughter's wedding. Sara appeared with her beautiful harp and was beautifully dressed for the formal event. The music she provided was beautifully orchestrated and totally awesome. Not only did we thoroughly enjoy her music but our guests did as well. We highly recommend Sara for any event!

  Sara is great! We met with her about a year before the wedding to hear her play and we fell in love. She was also very easy to work and played all of our requested songs and gave suggestions when we asked her. Overall she did a wonderful job!!

  Essential Harp was fantastic! We had so many complements on the harp music during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Sara has such a wide repertoire and it was really cool to hear rock and roll, jazz, etc all on the harp. Having her play was one of the best ways we spent our money for the wedding.

  I can't even begin to say enough about Sara!! She has been amazing since the day we met her! My husband and I had a few reqests for songs that were not on her play list and she composed them and played them beautifully. She was there on time and everyone LOVED how she looked and played. She was a big part of our wedding day and we loved having her there!

  Sara is fabulous. That's really all you need to know. It's an incredible value for the money. One of my bridesmaids loved her so much she's using her in her own wedding. She even meets with you up front and plays for you and lets you decide on your songs after hearing them. We had some special songs that we wanted so she learned them free of charge. She's just wonderful. HIRE HER! And if you think harpist music is "old school" she played Coldplay Clocks and something else from the Black Eyed Peas. The girl can rock if you want her to.

  Sara was such a pleasure to work with. I can't even begin to say how wonderful and talented she is. She was very professional from start to finish, and I was beyond pleased with her performance at our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. I met Sara at the Bridal Extravaganza at the George R. Brown convention center, and she was SO NICE! Her pricing is very reasonable and competitive, and you will definitely not be sorry! :) Thanks again Sara, for a job well done. The guests are still talking about how amazing she was! xoxo

  Sara has a very bubbly personality and was so easy to work with. She had several recommendations and was even open to learning additional songs that we wanted. When I saw her on the day of the wedding, she looked absolutely stunning and her music was so beautiful. She totally set the mood for the entire event and so many guests complimented me on having a harpist. She truly adds a special touch to your event.

  Sara did such a great job at my wedding. It was so nice to have something different, and a harpist was perfect. I still have people asking about her. Sara met with me before the wedding, and worked all the music for the ceremony. She wore a gorgeous gown, and was so professional. She helped make my day great!

  We were so pleased with Sara's performance and got countless compliments on not only her playing but how beautiful she looked! She created the perfect ambiance for a classic, romantic wedding! Why use a CD when you can have a gorgeous, unique instrument play at your ceremony for a very reasonable price?! Thank you, thank you!
