Janet King plays the harp like an angel. She coordinating several Irish songs for my daughter's wedding, and played them to perfection. She can play a wide variety of songs, and is willing to do all requests. Her music was a lovely addition to the ceremony, and I would hightly recommend her! It was an outdoor ceremony in a garden, followed by an indoor cocktail hour before the reception. A hot NY evening, one of the hottest in the summer of 2013, and she never complained once!

Janet did a wonderful job for our ceremony. We asked her to do a traditional Jewish wedding song (Dodi Li) for the processional, which we thought would have been cheesy if we used a DJ. This song sounded beautiful on the harp. When my wife came down the isle, Janet played Canon in D beautifully and for the recessional she was able to play an upbeat version of Siman Tov Mazel Tov. Janet was great to work with and also played these songs for us over the phone. Highly Recommended!

We were so happy that Janet King was available for our wedding. She is an exceptional Harpist! Our music at Church was enhanced because of her. She played beautifully with our organist and our vocalist. We booked her early as we know how popular she is. If you want an elegant element to your wedding, call Janet. She will work with you and your other musicians in total harmony!!

Janet played the pre-ceremony and ceremony of our wedding at the Montauk Yacht club on October 17th, 2015. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful all the arraignment's were. She really let us dictate the music, but in the end we let her do what she does best and could not be happier.

She was wonderful to work with through the entire process and was completely flexible with time changes.

Janet would be a must hire in our eyes for anyone looking for harpist for an event.

Janet is a very talented musician and her music is extremely elegant...Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Janet herself.

As my groom and I were preparing to make our grand exit -- and our guests were waiting on the church steps with rose petals and streamers in hand -- Janet stepped in front of us (in full view of all of our waiting guests), introduced herself, and asked to be paid on the spot. When I explained to her that the payment was in the limo (obviously I did not have my wallet ON me in the church), but she would not budge. She stood there in front of us until we paid her. Thankfully my groom had cash on him!

Janet had absolutely no reason to feel the need to literally chase us for payment when we sent her our deposit as soon as we booked with her and we planned to pay her as soon as we had a chance to get to the limo directly outside the church.

I was absolutely shocked and horrified by her behavior and unfortunately for me, the moment is memorialized in all of the pictures that my photographer took of us at the exit of the church.
I can't possibly recommend Janet to other brides -- despite her talent -- because I wouldn't wish that kind of mortification on any other bride.

It was the most unprofessional, tacky, and classless behavior I have ever witnessed from a wedding vendor - I'm so sorry that I witnessed it from one of my own.
