Perfect Harpist for Our Wedding Day!

Mindy was very prompt with her communication and was very easy to work with. She played the songs we requested for the ceremony so beautifully. Our guests wouldn’t stop talking about the harp music. I would recommend her to anyone thinking about getting a harpist for their wedding!

Gorgeous Harp and Cello Duo for Wedding

Mindy was great to work with, and her performance during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was just magical. So needless to say I HIGHLY recommend her.
We had our wedding at Winterthur in DE, and coming down the aisle to the most beautiful rendition of Edelweiss really made my day. She also knows a number of other artists, and adding the cello created a gorgeous balance of warm cello notes alongside the bright melodic strings on the harp. Our guests talked about it the entire night :)
I also enjoyed the mix of modern and classical music during cocktail hour - Mindy has a wide range of music to choose from.
If you're looking for Bridgerton vibes but without a full violin quartet, I think this duo pulled it off better.
All in all, just so happy with the performance. if I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

Harp by Request 10/10

Highly recommend Mindy & her team! We booked a string duo (harp & violin) to play our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour in Philly & it couldn't have been more perfect. The music they played was beautiful & everything leading up to the event day went smooth as well. Mindy is super responsive and was incredibly helpful along the way answering all of my questions and helping us plan out what music to play for the ceremony & for the cocktail hour. She even worked directly with our DJ to figure out the audio/speakers for our ceremony to ensure the music would be loud enough (our venue was Union Trust which has 2 different floors for ceremony/cocktail). I also found the pricing to be extremely reasonable.

Beautiful harp music

So many guests shared how much they enjoyed the harp music during the cocktail hour. Mindy is the epitome of a professional musician. Her music was easily heard throughout the venue yet never loud enough to make conversation difficult. Her repertoire is vast and was carefully chosen in conversation with my daughter ( the bride). I found her rates to be quite reasonable especially considering the logistics involved with moving and setting up. My only regret was when the hour was over! We should have planned for longer!

Would recommend!

We worked with Mindy to have her play for our wedding ceremony. From the beginning, she was easy to work with and worked with us to figure out which songs would best work with our vision. We had a traditional Indian wedding ceremony and she was very flexible with the timing needs that we had. She sounded beautiful and all of our guests loved the harp touch to our ceremony!

Beautiful harp music, picked out just for us!

Mindy was very easy to work with and performed beautifully! We met to pick out the music, and she was super open to playing a few songs that we specially requested. Her rendition of the Great Fairy Fountain song from the Legend of Zelda game series was incredible!

A must have

Mindy is an absolute angel. When planning our wedding we knew we wanted a harpist for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Right from our first interaction, Mindy was so kind and so easy to work with. Mindy was also incredibly responsive and offered suggestions for music when I was feeling overwhelmed. She also has an enormous repertoire of music to choose from. As far as budget goes, Mindy was worth every penny and her pricing was reasonable. She even traveled from Philadelphia so South Jersey for our big day, despite an impending winter storm. On the day of our wedding, Mindy's performance added such a calm elegance to our ceremony and cocktail hour. She is a talented artist and so down to earth. We cannot recommend her enough and we were overjoyed to have her as part of our day.

Our wedding day was magical thanks to Mindy!

Mindy made our wedding day feel extra special and elegant. We had a small, intimate wedding and having her beautiful music floating through our venue during our ceremony and cocktail hour felt truly magical. Mindy is a very talented harpist and played both classical and popular music at our request. She was also easy to work with, responsive and her rates are very reasonable! Highly recommend!
