Magical! A dream come true

I had Catherine and cellist, Jules, play for my ceremony on 2/16, and words really cannot capture how absolutely wonderful it was! From the early email conversations, all through planning, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful. I had a very specific vision in mind for my Fairytale/Jurassic Park theme, and Catherine completely exceeded my expectations! My dream wedding was brought to life in the most completely magical way; I had guests all night telling me how much they loved the music. 5 stars is not enough! If you are even considering maybe booking, DO IT! You won't be disappointed!

She Made A Bad Time SO Much Easier, Enthusiastic and Excited to Create Custom Music Selection

Catherine was amazing to work with, even though we had to cancel our wedding. We had a lot of custom music we wanted for our wedding and she not only immediately looked for sheet music (before we officially hired her even!) and made sure it was exactly what we wanted but she seemed genuinely excited to be there for our big day. Like I mentioned, we had to cancel because of Covid-19 and we live out of state or we would have just rebooked with her for a later date but when we came to her and let her know, she was so kind, understanding and also gave our deposit back. Trying to replan a wedding after losing a lot of money to vendors who didn't give us our deposit back, that was a breath of fresh air. We were lucky to have found her. 100% would recommend.

Wonderful Musician

Catherine was wonderful to work with! We realized that we wanted to have a harpist for our ceremony, and Catherine was very responsive and had a lot of knowledge to share about the ceremony process. Her worksheets and online samples made it fun to select our music, and several guests gushed about how it made the ceremony complete. Two of our guests are professional musicians (one being a harpist herself), and they verified her skill. I would definitely recommend adding Catherine to your list of vendors!

Beautiful & magical

Catherine Way was amazing to work with- from start to finish she was super friendly and prompt. I had harp and violin at my wedding during ceremony and cocktail hour and it was MAGICAL. The music and appearance of the harp & violin was so elegant, beautiful, and unique- it truly made my wedding day special and memorable. Many guests commented on how beautiful the music was and how much they enjoyed it. Highly recommend!!

Look no further!

Catherine was amazing and a wondering addition to our wedding day. She is so kind, genuine, and flexible. I had a few special song requests that she found music for, learned, and was able to play for my ceremony processional! She is professional and if you are thinking about adding her to enhance your ceremony, I would recommend her over and over and over again! Look no further, she will help you out and provide the prettiest ceremony music you could ask for!

Catherine was so easy to work with and her music was absolutely amazing and beautiful. It really brought the whole ceremony together and made our day feel so elegant and amazing! Hearing her music brought tears to my eyes as I walked down the aisle and saw my soon to be husband waiting for me. I highly recommend her to anyone. She is the BEST!!

We chose Catherine to play the harp for our ceremony. I am so so happy that we did! We had a DJ for our cocktail hour and wedding reception, but having a harp for our ceremony made it so much more romantic and special than having a DJ could have. Catherine played beautifully and we couldn't have been more happy with our ceremony. All of our wedding guests raved about her music and how having a harpist for the ceremony really set it apart from other weddings they had been to. Catherine was wonderful from the first email I sent her inquiring about her services, to the day of our wedding. She sent a list to find out what type of music we liked and she had more options that I ever would have thought possible that she could play for our wedding. I am a huge Beauty and the Beast lover and was overjoyed when I saw that that was on her list of music. Thank you so much Catherine for making our wedding ceremony more special than we ever could have imagined!

Catherine was fantastic! I had no idea what kind of music I wanted or how many songs we needed so Catherine set up a phone call with me to talk through my ideas (or lack thereof) and her expert suggestions. We came up with a beautiful combination of more traditional songs as well as current love songs. Having a harpist at our ceremony was so perfect and Catherine is the best choice! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
