Diana was AMAZING. She is quick to respond to ANY questions you have. She will help you chose the BEST music for your event, and will take the time to explain EVERYTHING. She is reasonable in price, and plays the harp BEAUTIFULLY!!! She's such a sweet person to work with. She even took my requests, AND accompanied my brother while he sang at our ceremony. We are still getting compliments from Diana's talent!!

My beautiful bride and I were blessed to have such wonderful music playing on the special day we had been planning for months at Mt. Vernon. Our outdoor wedding had the setting we wanted in regards to the weather, landscape, and display and Diana's music helped get everyone into a wedding frame of mind. My mom said during the reception she was in awe during the wedding to be at such a beautiful place at the perfect time of day with just the right music being played. During the cocktail hour and dinner, Diana had a subtle, upbeat sound that added to the atmosphere but didn't drown out the conversation. As for the dance music, Diana played a lot of different songs that showed her great range and finesse. My bride and I had taken our first big trip to Hawaii and chose the Hawaiian Wedding Song for our first dance. While the dancing needed some work, the music was flawless and probably kept the guests from getting too restless.

I can not say anything but good things about Diana. She was the harpist for my ceremony and provided beautiful music. She brought many guests including my mom to tears. She willingly learned a new song for my walk down the aisle and did an incredible job. Although I didn't initially book with Diana, I would highly recommend her to perform at your ceremony/event. She is a very talented individual and a pleasure to work with. You will be extremely pleased!!

Diana performed at our Southern Lawn Party/Wedding Reception on June 13th, 2009. From the beginning she was very professional, flexible and easy to work with. We had a unique theme which she was able to accomodate with her wide repertoire of music. Diana was even willing to have me, the Bride, and other guests sing along with her on a couple of songs. Diana's muscial ability is outstanding and she helped to create the "Southern" atmosphere I was looking for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a muscian who is versatile and talented.

Diana brought a very special touch to my daughter's wedding. Many of our guests expressed how much they enjoyed her performance and how nice it was to have something other than the traditional music. She and my daughter worked together to select certain pieces of music, but Diana was given the freedom to select other appropriate music to be played while our guests arrived. All the selections were beautiful. She was an absolute delight and a pleasure to work with. She was on time, beautifully dressed, and immediately went about her business setting up. I would recommend Diana without hesitation.

I was an out-of-state bride, so I found Diana online and communicated with her mostly through email leading up to the wedding. She was wonderful to work with; replying to my emails and questions in a timely manner and was really flexable when picking out both ceremony and cocktail music. When it actually came time to walk down the aisle, her music was the first thing I heard as I took my first step- and it was beautiful. Afterwards, several of our guest approached us and raved about her and the wonderful quality of music!

My husband and I were truly lucky to have been able to work with Diana Marie Gibbs for our wedding ceremony! All of our guests commented on how nice it was to have her play her harp at our wedding and how wonderfully she played as it added something special to our romantic day. She was very professional and very easy to work with, she even learned to play a song that I really liked even though it was not on her music list :) We highly recommend Diana Marie Gibbs as your harpist for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!!

Ms. Gibbs was a wonderful addition to our wedding! She played during the prelude and the ceremony. When we contacted her, she was very helpful with suggestions on what to play while not being pushy. It was obvious that she was flexible and focused on what we had in mind for our wedding. She even contacted the violinist we had booked and worked together with her. She was very professional, and her exceptional talent made our wedding ceremony unique and memorable. We were very pleased with everything she did and would definately recommend her to anyone else.

Diana's harp music was a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony; her high level of professionalism was apparent from the start. Diana immediately sent a CD sample of her extensive repertoire list when my mother contacted her. She also noted that these were typical pieces that she played at weddings, but if we wanted her to include any "special" selections, she would be more than happy to accomodate us. The cost was reasonable and well worth it. Highly talented and more than highly recommended.
