Christine Vivona

Christine was able to customize our music perfectly and her music is absolutely breathtaking. Could not imagine having our ceremony music any other way. very classical and elegant.

Dr. Vivona was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! She was great at accommodating every piece we wanted to have played and able to do arrangements of pieces not written for harp. Despite the rain, Dr. Vivona was prepared to play indoors and be hooked up to speakers so her playing could still be heard for the ceremony.

I really love harp music, so I was thrilled to learn there’s a wedding harpist in Tucson. Dr. Christine was very easy to work with and learned the three songs we sent to her for our ceremony. Her music was flawless; as soon as she started playing the procession song, I almost started crying. She made our ceremony truly dream-like! I did not get a chance to listen to the cocktail hour music, but I got many comments from guests complementing her music. She was the perfect choice for our wedding. Thank you, Christine!!

We hired Christine to play our ceremony. My husband had this dream to have it played by harp and then Christine was listed on our preferred vendors. She’s the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet and we absolutely loved working with her! We went over our song choices and she played samples for us. She showed up early on the day of and it was truly such a magical experience to walk down the aisle to a harp! I highly recommend her, she’ll make your dreams come true on your special day!

Christine definitely has je ne sais quoi. I cannot fully describe the experience of hearing Christine play other than ethereal and powerful.

From our first meeting in person, Christine was kind enough to show my husband and I an array of harps, as well as the harp that she takes to weddings for its sound quality. When we expressed that we wanted our songs played for the processional, the kiss, and our private dance at the end of the night, she downloaded the music theory right then and there, and played it for us! I cried then, and I cried happy tears at the end of our wedding.

Our guests loved hearing Christine play. My mother stated that the guests, "se acaramelaron": To literally become like caramel; ie, become very sweet and tender towards one another in a romantic way, especially based on ambiance and situation. Quite true.

Notes to couples considering Christine:

Christine's playing is timeless and elegant, even if a piece is contemporary. Having live music truly sets the mood for your day, and what better way to start your forever with a master of her craft who is truly passionate about her instrument making your day special?

What a wonderful experience to have Christine at our wedding! From day one she was the sweetest. I would highly recommend her for any event. She definitely adds a magical touch to your special day.

Christine was AMAZING. She truly made our ceremony special. We got many compliments about the harp music during our ceremony. She is the sweetest and has great suggestions. 10/10 would recommend for the price!

I knew for a long time that if I were to get married, I wanted a harpist for the ceremony music. When the time came and I found Christine, she exceeded all my expectations. When we met at her home, she was so gracious and we ended up selecting all the ceremony music. She was open to learning any songs that we wanted that she didn't know (which wasn't an issue as she knew all that we wanted), and had some great ideas for adding a couple of Irish songs as that meant a lot to my husband. On the day of the wedding, Christine was so professional and kind.
Our guests loved her music, as we did as well, and received so many compliments. There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, and hiring Christine was one of our best decisions. Thank you Christine - you made our day so special with your beautiful music!

Working with Dr. Vivona was so much fun. We were planning our wedding from 1,500 miles away and couldn't meet with Dr. Vivona in person, so Dr. Vivona played samples of her music to us over the phone. Dr. Vivona's music was so moving that it gave our guests the goosebumps. She added such an elegant touch to our outdoor ceremony. Don't think twice about booking Dr. Vivona - I promise, you will not regret it.

Christine was AMAZING! What a sweet woman and talented musician! She added the perfect ambiance for our wedding ceremony. SO GLAD we booked her!
