Reviews of Harpist Erica Messer
Professional Network & Endorsements
I worked with Erica on a wedding and her professionalism and accommodating nature was top notch. Like many weddings, things changed late in the day (because of weather) and Erica adjusted comfortably to these changes. Also I saw first hand how pleasant she was to work with (for me, and the client). I look forward to working with her again.
Erica is a highly accomplished musician with a unique style and sensitivity, and in addition to that, she is one of "my" brides! I can say with confidence that as a person she is just as lovely as a fantastic musician, and I can recommend her wholeheartedly.
