We loved having Beverly perform at our wedding

It was really cool to have a harpist at her wedding. Beverly was so professional and so great at everything from her performance to her communication leading up to our ceremony. She even wanted to figure out what color dress she should wear to our wedding. She is so thoughtful!

Reviewing Beverly from our Madonna Inn wedding

Beverly was absolutely wonderful and brought such beautiful energy to our wedding day. She played during our prelude and ceremony, and so many of our guests commented on how beautifully she performed. The songs she played during our ceremony were especially meaningful and made those moments feel truly magical. She was professional, warm, and incredibly talented. We couldn’t have been happier to have her be part of our special day and would highly recommend her!

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!!
