Beauty of musical talent

Emily performed at our technical college student gala. She communicated with me through the entire process to make sure our vision became reality. MANY of our guests commented on how lovely and beautiful the music was to set an elegant tone for our event.
I rated Emily with all 5 stars because she truly was excellent!!

2 straight hours of playing and she was FLAWLESS the entire time

Emily is such a talent! 2 straight hours of playing and she was FLAWLESS the entire time. And she is punctual, kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with while planning :) We were so blessed to enjoy working with her, and I'd recommend her to anyone!

Amazing talented professional harpist!

Emily is incredible! She is so talented and created the perfect romantic, and whimsical ambiance for our wedding ceremony and dinner! She also has a wide variety of music in her repertoire which was so fun to choose from! She was so flexible, responsive, reliable, and easy to work with. If you are looking for a harpist or live music in general she is the best in the business!

She is the best. I love her!!!

She went above and beyond to learn a song that I really wanted to walk down the aisle to. She was a surprise for my guests especially my mom who loves the harp. I just wish I was able to hear her play the entire time she was there. But I was busy getting ready. I did hear a little of it because she was outside the bridal suite window.
Her music is beautiful!!!

Hire Emily! She's worth it and your guests will love her as much as you do!

I saw Emily playing her harp at the La Caille bridal expo last year and fell in love with the idea. When she started playing "A Thousand Years," I started tearing up and knew I had to hire her. When I got home I couldn't wait to tell my fiance all about her, and he agreed to let me hire her for our ceremony.

Emily is such a sweet person, professional, and extremely easy to work with! She was very helpful when it came to choosing which songs we wanted, and she even updated us when she added new songs to her repertoire. We added two custom songs for her to learn for the additional fee, and it was so worth it! I feel like her pricing was great and well worth it!

Our guests loved her and I wish I could have been sitting there listening to her the entire time! We definitely recommend Emily for that special romantic touch to your wedding. She's amazing and so talented!
