Guests could not stop offering compliments on the music!

We hired Brian and Mary (harpist + flutist) and could not be happier! We had 50 guests for our wedding, and everyone of all different ages could not stop complimenting the music! Brian was extremely responsive every step of the way and cared very deeply that he got everything right. We initially were planning on just hiring Brian (harp only); however, we are so glad we went with the duo instead as the flute added a new dimension to the sound! Guests complimented the perfect volume, the music selection (friends loved the Disney medley) and how unique this choice of entertainment was! We personally loved the classical, timeless sound of the music and beautiful optics of the harp! Thank you Brian for doing a spectacular job!

Superb Experience!

From booking to performing, Brian was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. He was prompt and professional with his emails -- all at a very reasonable price. I booked harpist only, and Brian did not disappoint. He played for the seating and ceremony. He arrived early and was easy to work with. The guests all loved his music, including my fiance at the time and myself.

Brian is a true professional. He helped make our dream wedding come true. I highly recommend Brian playing for your special occasion.

Professional and Flexible

We are glad we had Brian play at our wedding ceremony. He really knew the job and was very professional. He showed up on time, accommodate all our requests, and was willing to cover the Bridal Chorus when we told him the pianist who supposed to play it might not show up. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family.
