Andrea is amazing!

Working with Andrea was so great! She has a very large repertoire and has music from every genre I would have wanted. We talked a lot through email leading up to the event and during our meeting to finalize songs, she played some of them for me over zoom so I could get a feel for how some songs would sound. She arrived on time (maybe even a bit early, no sure as I didn’t have a watch on). Her music was beautiful. While guests were gathering she played disney songs we had picked; for the family processional she played “Dancing In the Moon Light” by King Harvest; for the groom and groomsmen, she played “Let it go” from Frozen (Groom picked it), and for my song she did a custom song where she combined Pachelbel canon with the Sailor Moon theme song. Everyone kept complimenting me on her music!

Andrea is the best!!

Andrea played for my son and daughter’s wedding shower. It just added that extra something to the day. She learned a couple of their favorite songs and they danced to them. It was really special and a favorite part of the wedding celebrations.

Incredible Ceremony Music!

We could not be happier with our decision to have Andrea play her harp at our wedding ceremony! From the very beginning, she made the planning process so easy. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind, and her expertise in guiding us through song selections was invaluable. She helped us tailor the music perfectly to fit the flow and feel of our ceremony, and her suggestions were spot-on.

On the wedding day, her music was absolutely beautiful—elegant, romantic, and the perfect backdrop to such a meaningful moment. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the harp and how it added such a special, unforgettable touch to the ceremony. Working with Andrea was seamless from start to finish, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking to elevate their wedding with gorgeous live music.

Wonderful addition to the wedding day

Andrea was wonderful! She played harp for the ceremony and cocktail hour for a wedding that I coordinated at the Historic Wakefield Barn in Wake Forest, NC. She was super easy to work with leading up to the wedding day and performed beautifully. She met with me to discuss cues and any other details needed to make sure she played everything exactly how the couple wanted it. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a live musician for an event!

Amazing Wedding Harpist!

Andrea was such a wonderful person to work with! She is an incredible harpist and can play any song you can think of! She was very quick to respond and answer any questions I had. She set up a video call or in person meeting to play any song I wanted to hear! On this call, she played through the entire ceremony from top to bottom and it was amazing! She is very organized, personable, and kind! My ceremony and cocktail hour music was one of my favorite parts of my wedding. I 100% recommend her!!

Beautiful music and so easy to work with!

I met Andrea in 2018 when she was the harpist for a wedding I was planning. As a planner, working with her was so easy. Since then, I've recommended her to more clients. Her communication is quick and easy. I love how she personalizes each piece to make it fit your style and how you envision the song to be played. She has an extensive repertoire and is open to learning new songs just for her clients. She is so great that I didn't give it a second thought to hire her for my own wedding. I highly recommend Andrea!

The perfect compliment to our wedding day

Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the first meeting she was friendly, upbeat, confident, and accommodating. My fiancee and I knew we were in good hands, and in the whirlwind of wedding planning, the music was now the least of our worries. Andrea has a vast repertoire (a list that spans pages!) and is constantly learning new material, not just for her clients, but for a love of music. My fiancee and I were interested in hearing some songs during our wedding day that Andrea had not formally learned -- not a problem! If there was some kind of sheet music out there, Andrea was happy to learn it and adapt it for the harp. The wedding day itself was a bit hectic for my fiancee and me. There was a tropical storm. Everything needed to be shifted inside. We didn't have a formal day-of planner (in our defense, it was a small wedding!). Andrea rolled with the punches. All she needed was some help transporting the harp and she was set. Her performances were lovely. They were perfect for the vibe we were going for, and our friends and family all commented on enjoying the backdrop Andrea's music created. We would 100% recommend her services to anyone in the area.

What a pleasure it is to work with Andrea! She is easy going, professional and an amazing harpist. I've done two weddings with her--one inside and one outside--and with both her playing was clear, celestial, and even magical!
