Anastasia was absolutely wonderful to work with and an amazing addition to our wedding ceremony. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and plays the harp beautifully. Having a vendor you can trust is so comforting on an otherwise stressful day. I would HIGHLY recommend Anastasia for any event in which you want to include beautiful music.

We were honored to have Anastasia perform at our son's wedding reception at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria VA. She paced the events of the evening with beautiful selection of music, arrival of the bride, cake ceremony, background music for dinner etc. The guests thorougly enjoyed her performance. If you are looking for a harpist for your event, look no further.

My husband and I were very happy with Anna's services! She had a large selection of classical and contemporary pieces in her repertoire and she was very willing to learn special requests. She even learned a Metallica song for my husband (Nothing Else Matters) and a Queen song for our recessional (Crazy Little Thing Called Love). I didn't get to hear too much, but our guests informed us that she was awesome!

She was really a pleasure to work with. She only played for our ceremony (due to budget), but I wish we could have had her stay all night!

Anna played her harp beautifully. I t was exactly what my daughter wanted for her wedding even the one secret song she picked to surprise her husband to be. Anna is very professional, flexible and willing to work with her clients. The fact that she decorated in a small way her harp in my daughter's wedding colors was a thoughtful touch!

The service that you provided on our wedding day was outstanding. Anyone who can withstand 90 degree weather and still play a harpist outside so gracefully is a true professional. Thanks again Anna. We appreciate it!

If you are looking for most memorable, superb classical music performance you are making the right pick! Anastasia came to rescue just a week prior to our wedding. Unlike other musicians, Anastasia was super responsive and flexible. Not only was she able to re-arrange her schedule to be available for our wedding, she also managed to have a superb violinist accompany her. Their performance was immaculate! Everybody was at awe!!!

I made a very last minute decision to hire a harpist and Ms Pike was availble in less than 24 hours. Her music was great and in the end I was glad that she was patient and made herself available. I would recommend through for other brides to given yourself as much time so you can be sure about the songs that you want and the feeling that you would like to create.

Anna was a pleasure to work with and helped me and my now wife to craft a music program for our ceremony that suited both our musical tastes to a tee. She even went as far as to adapt a piece that was not in her normal repertoire for the bridal march. Her musicianship is of the highest calibre and though she is a consummate professional, she is very down-to-earth and accessible. We would recommend her without reservation time and again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
