Magical Harp Music for an Intimate Wedding

We hired Chanah to play for our small 15-person wedding, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She was very responsive to messages and questions and checked in several times leading up to the wedding, which made planning feel easy and organized.
She learned two new songs specifically for our ceremony that weren’t already in her repertoire, and they were truly beautiful and meaningful. Her repertoire is also very easy to browse on her website, which helped us choose songs and get a sense of how they would sound on the harp ahead of time.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived at the same time we did, and we had a chance to chat before the ceremony. She is warm, personable, and easy to talk to, which immediately put everyone at ease. During the ceremony, her playing was clear and balanced, nothing was overpowered, and everything felt seamless. We were especially impressed by how well her setup carried throughout the conservatory space; the harp could be heard beautifully from every room.
Afterward, she continued playing while guests mingled, and at one point she even asked which songs we’d like to hear again, which made the experience feel very personal and interactive. Her harp itself is also stunning, and it added such a beautiful visual element to our photos.
Before leaving, we were able to chat again briefly, and she was just as kind and friendly with our guests as she was with us. She later sent us recordings of our favorite pieces and the songs she learned for our wedding, which has been incredibly special to listen back on.
Overall, Chanah helped make our wedding feel truly memorable. We would absolutely recommend her for any event where you want live music that feels both elegant and personal.

Highly Recommend

We had Chanah (harp) and Florina - FlorysMusic (violin) play as a duet at our wedding. We're really happy with how everything went and how everything sounded. The collection of music was really great and they played it beautifully.

Chanah also sent a recording of the ceremony music and our requested songs afterwards. We enjoyed listening to it.

We would highly recommend harp and harp plus violin to friends. They were a beautiful addition to our ceremony and we know they'd be satisfied!

What are you doing - book NOW

Wow. There is not enough incredible words to use to describe Chanah and her stunning talent. Chanah was the very first vendor I reached out to before we had even booked our date. I knew she had to be playing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. Our vision was very romantic, moody and blue, ethereal and enchanting. Working with Chanah over the 1.5 year to make our vision come to life was amazing. She is so kind, funny, incredibly helpful and beyond talented. We cannot recommend her enough to have her at your wedding or any special event. I know so many people came up to us telling us the harp was one of the most beautiful things they have ever heard in their life. Our wedding day was the most happiest and perfect day of our entire life, and it is no doubt it is partly because of the magic Chanah was able to bring on our once of a lifetime day. The value is priceless. You will not regret hiring her, so what are you even waiting for??

100% recommend!!

Chanah played for my cocktail hour for my wedding. Everyone was blown away by her skill and performance we hired her to play with a violinist that she recommended which we also loved. She answered emails quickly responded always with an answer to my questions. One of the most professional, genuine vendor we had. Go ahead and book her you will not regret it! Everyone said it felt like a Bridgerton wedding with Chanah!

Great choice for a wedding ceremony!

We hired Chanah to play music during our wedding ceremony. For the past year, she has worked with us to develop a beautiful, custom list of songs, and everything was executed with perfection on the day. Chanah is warm yet professional, and helped us make our special day EXTRA special. Of everything we spent money on during this process, Chanah's services and expertise were our favorite thing. We would do it again in a heartbeat, and reccommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you, Chanah!
