Harpist Krista Strader

We LOVED having Krista at our wedding ceremony. Her performance created such an incredible atmosphere, and so many of our guests commented on how much it elevated the entire ceremony. She was also incredibly easy to work with during the planning. It made the experience feel seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have her be part of our day.

Krista was our harpist for our San Francisco City Hall wedding. She is on the approved list of vendors and we were so ecstatic that she was available for our time and date. She checked in with us on what kind of music we wanted her to play for the ceremony and she even learned to play the animal crossing theme song as part of the process! We were so thrilled with her harp playing and would highly recommend her to anyone that wants a harpist for their wedding or event!

We booked Krista to be our musician for our outdoor wedding ceremony. Krista has an amazing repertoire, there are lots of songs to choose from, and a huge variety from classical to pop. She is extremely talented and very professional. She made our wedding so magical, all of our guests were blown away. Her service is very much at a fair price for the professionalism and talent she provides. I would 1000% recommend her for your event.

If you are looking for a ceremony musician, book Krista and you will thank yourself over and over in the future. Krista was pure excellence.

We found her from a recommendation of our planner, and after looking at the large amount of varied material on her repertoire we booked a package that included both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Krista was extremely easy to work with for selecting our song choices, including a custom request that she learned and played perfectly as my wife walked down the aisle. Every small detail we asked for, she incorporated into the ceremony musicality. She was extremely professional with her arrival time, outfit, and full setup of the harp - which by the way was a wonderful addition to the ceremony aesthetic.

During cocktail hour, she continued to wow guests with her talent - and added a unique elegance to that part of our special day. I would highly suggest booking Krista for your wedding (or other event that may require a talented harpist), she truly delivered.

We hired Kristy to provide music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was amazing and so easy to work with - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for live music for their wedding! The next day, we had family come up to us to say they felt they had been transported to a wedding straight out of a movie because of the harp music!

The music ensemble, featuring harpist Krista Strader and violinist Joyce Lee, delivered a mesmerizing performance at our wedding. Their collaboration was flawless, weaving a tapestry of enchanting melodies that added a touch of sophistication and romance to our special day. Krista's mastery of the harp and Joyce's virtuosity on the violin created a magical atmosphere, leaving a lasting impression on our guests. The duo's available repertoire was extensive, allowing for several choices that would enhance the emotional moments and elevate the overall experience. The highlight of the music ensemble's performance was undoubtedly the beautiful custom songs they arranged for our ceremony. Krista and Joyce went above and beyond, creating personalized musical pieces that perfectly captured the essence of our love story. Their attention to detail and creativity shone through, making those moments truly magical and unique. The custom songs added an extra layer of meaning to our ceremony, leaving a profound impact on us and our guests. We are incredibly thankful for their talent and dedication in crafting these special pieces, making our wedding day even more extraordinary. Their ability to translate our story into music was truly remarkable and something we will cherish forever. We received numerous compliments on their exceptional talent and the captivating ambiance they crafted. We are deeply grateful to Krista and Joyce for their outstanding contribution, making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking extraordinary musical accompaniment for their wedding!

Krista was wonderful to work with. She was prompt, super responsive, and very flexible when the ceremony was a bit all over the place. We receive so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful Krista played and what a nice touch it was to the ceremony. Thank you so much Krista!

Where do I start!!! I found Krista as a preferred vendor for my SF City Hall wedding. I initially selected another harpist who was not available and I’m SO GLAD that she wasn’t, otherwise I would not have been able to experience Kristas amazing gift. Krista was professional, personable and very well prepared. She has a large repertoire of music that you can listen to samples of which was a huge plus. All of the guests at my wedding talked about how beautiful the music was!!! Don’t hesitate to hire Krista, she was phenomenal. My husband and I still listen to the samples on her page, yes, she is that good and her music is that heavenly!!! Thank you, Krista for adding a beautiful touch to our day!

We've always wanted to have a harpist for our wedding day (and we had very unique and specific music in mind). Most of the harpist we found didn't have a repertoire as vast as Krista. She knows how to play everything from Japanese animate songs to jazz classic to Disney and Contemporary music. She was very easy to communicate with and accommodating. There was a specific piece of music that we wanted right before our ceremony and she was able to time it perfectly with our wedding coordinator to make sure that we were in position before she began. We had her play for our wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour. All our guests were commenting how beautifully she played the harp throughout the evening and we couldn't agree more! Thank you Krista for making our wedding day magical!

Krista is a must hire for your wedding! We were referred to Krista by our venue back in 2019 and we are so happy we hired her for our big day! Our wedding was originally scheduled for 10/10/2020 and due to the pandemic, we had to push our reception to 2021. We took a break from planning due to the pandemic and we picked it back up in the beginning of 2021 and she didn’t miss a beat. Krista’s music was beautiful, we received so many compliments for our ceremony music! She was also extremely professional and was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Thank you, Krista, for everything, we really appreciate it!
