Fantastic!

Beverly was so talented, and her music made the ceremony so special. She was also prompt, professional, and very responsive. She even stuck around after the ceremony and played an Elvis tune while my uncle, the officiant, and with her. It was just beautiful from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the SLO area. Thank you so much, Beverly!

Beverly is amazing!

Beverly did a great job! She sounds so beautiful! I walked a little too soon and she immediately started playing my song when she noticed. I also didn’t give her our songs until the night before 🫣 she was quick to respond and let me know she was ready and had the sheet music! Such a sweet lady, would recommend 100%

Beautiful Harpist

We had the distinct pleasure of having Beverly Arnold perform as our harpist at our wedding, and her contribution was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning of the ceremony, her music set a tone of elegance and sophistication that carried throughout the event.

The pieces she performed for the groom’s and bride’s entrances were particularly moving—beautifully executed and perfectly timed, adding an emotional depth to those moments that we will never forget. Beyond her musical talent, the visual presence of the harp itself, combined with Beverly’s poised performance, brought an added sense of grace and refinement to the day.

Beverly was not only incredibly talented but also professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking to elevate their wedding ceremony with the timeless beauty of live harp music.

Wedding at Mural Room

Beverly was fantastic! She played beautifully and went above and beyond our expectations. Even with a change in plans, she was completely flexible and had no issues adapting. She was also able to learn and perform a couple of songs outside of her repertoire, and did an incredible job! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful harp

Working with Beverly was seamless from beginning to end. She was always patient, flexible, and most of all, kind. There was a specific song I wanted when I walked down the aisle and she was able to learn it and send me a sound sample. I was truly blown away by her turnaround time and how beautiful it sounded. She is simply the best! She also wore the perfect outfit to match our Fall wedding. You will not regret working with Beverly. I cannot thank her enough!

So accommodating!

Beverly’s talents were an amazing add to our wedding ceremony. We can’t recommend her enough! She is prompt and professional, and the harp sounds created a magical atmosphere. Beverly provided a repertoire of songs and was happy to learn a song that holds special meaning for us. She even offered to visit the ceremony location during our rehearsal to determine the best set up space.
