Ted was amazing -- made our wedding so special

Ted did an incredible performance at our garden wedding this April. He made the ceremony feel so beautiful and magical. I'm so glad we decided to book him.

Mr. Nicholson performed for our ceremony at Webb Chapel. He is a superb harpist and made our ceremony absolutely beautiful and flawless. I highly recommend him.

Ted was beyond terrific to work with! His website makes everything so easy…from choosing the songs to laying out the flow of the ceremony… it was all right there with. He was always incredibly prompt in returning all emails and answering any questions that arose. He proactively reached out to my day of coordinator to discuss final logistics with her so that I could focus on whatever other wedding items I had at hand. Ted played absolutely beautifully and we received so many compliments on the ceremony music throughout the night. My only regret is that I didn’t get to hear more of him playing! He is an absolute professional and we can’t thank him enough for being such an integral part of making our ceremony so very memorable.

I'm soo glad I chose Ted Nichelson as the harpist for my wedding! His sound was sooo beautiful. He was very accommodating and professional. His website is easy to use and allows you to choose the exact songs you want played for each part of the ceremony. He played all the songs exactly how I wanted. I made a special request for a song (Thousand Years by Christina Perri) and he was able to do that without a problem. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you sooo much Ted! Hope to get to hear you play again sometime!

Ted was so professional and quickly got back to me via email with any questions I had. He was a delight to work with, and he played both the harp and the piano beautifully. Our guests were so impressed with the live music and it added a nice level of sophistication to our wedding. I am so happy we hired Ted, and am more than happy to recommend him to other brides looking for a harpist/pianist!

Ted was a great person to work with. We had his contact information from other Disneyland couples, but didn’t think we’d employ his services because we weren’t sure if we could afford a live musician. After getting his very reasonable quote, we were convinced that adding a harpist to our event was possible. He was delightful to work with. From even prior to booking, he was very quick to answer our inquiries. After sending our deposit, he was very attentive to our e-mails and was really flexible about what songs we wanted to hear played. We wanted music that was completely untraditional and not on his website and he was able to let us know what he had in his repertoire and made them available for us to use. He was even fantastic about learning a new piece for me to surprise my FI with for my walk down the aisle. All I had to do was send him the music and he learned the piece at no extra charge. He was AMAZING !! We were so impressed with how early he arrived and how quickly he set up at our wedding.

My husband thought the musical selections he played sounded tremendous!! We later learned that he had a slight technical difficulty during a particular processional piece but nobody even noticed. We're so glad that we decided to add a Harp to our event and that he was able to accommodate our untraditional requests.

Ted’s rendition of the main theme from Disney/Pixar’s UP (the song I had him learn for my walk down the aisle) was beyond what I imagined. That song warms my heart so much and when I heard the beginning part, I just about lost it. When my fire engine pulled up and I heard it, I tried so hard to choke back my tears. It was seriously beautiful and I can't wait for the video so I can hear it again. He did SO well and I thank him so profusely for taking the time to learn the song and fill my heart with joy. My husband ended up recognizing the tune and he said that that started him crying because he knew how special it was and we're just so thrilled with everything Ted did for us.

We HIGHLY recommend Ted to anyone wanting to hear harp music at their event. Ted is a gifted musician and definitely a worthwhile addition to any event.

Ted was awesome! I admit, while you're walking down the aisle, it's tough to listen to what he's playing, but the parts that I heard were magical! He even played during our cocktail hour which everyone thought was pretty fancy of us ;) Ted is beyond reasonable in his pricing and is quick to respond back to your questions and concerns. He dressed in the appropriate attire and was very professional. I highly recommend him to any bride :)
