Wow. Just, Wow.

Naomi truly set the tone of our wedding - soft, romantic, elegant - everything I wanted our wedding to be. Naomi zoomed with us to nail down our details and even played her harp for us to see what songs sound like. She was excellent with communication. Her overall demeanor is so pleasant and joyful. I highly recommend Naomi for any event! Thank you, Naomi, for making our big day so memorable and special.

Magical Experience for our Wedding Day

Naomi was a true professional and delight to work with. She was extremely punctual and was able to help us find the right music. She was willing to try many new songs not in her album and gave suggestions for our catholic ceremony. She is so versatile and can do any song music in piano key. I would gladly recommend her for any party, ceremony and special occasion. Her rates are very reasonable, and she made our day!!!!!

Very Dreamy!

Naomi and Randall were phenomenal! The communication and prep with Naomi leading up to the wedding date was so helpful, she always made herself available for a video chat and was super prompt with her email responses. The day of the wedding they did my ceremony and cocktail hour music and it was incredible and I got positive feedback from all my guests!!

Naomi Made Our Ceremony Magical

Naomi was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know my fiancé and myself, making sure the music for our ceremony reflected both of our personalities and interests. She was so thoughtful in helping us select songs that perfectly matched the theme and feeling of our wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented and skilled on the harp, but she also showed such kindness through the entire process. Naomi even wore a lovely outfit to match the ceremony which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. We're so grateful we met her at the Bridal Bazaar---what a blessing that was! Our ceremony wouldn't have been the same without her beautiful music. I highly recommend her for all weddings!!!

Highly Recommend Harpist Naomi

We had an amazing experience with Naomi from start to finish in the planning of our wedding where she played our music during the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was professional, kind, prompt, and patient as she detailed her experience and flexibility of music to cater to our tastes. We could not have found a more skilled musician to work with us on our special day, and she was easy to communicate with and responsive.

We highly recommend Naomi for anyone looking to hire a harpist for this net event.

Wonderful harpist!

Naomi was kind enough to fill in for our wedding in January 2024 when another harpist was unable to perform due to an injury. We were initially bummed because our previous harpist was so sweet, but we quickly learned that we were in excellent hands with Naomi as well. She was incredibly responsive and had lots of musical experience. She performed during our cocktail hour, so unfortunately we didn’t get to hear most of it ourselves. However, all of our guests told us the music was lovely and the snippets we did hear were amazing!! She also dressed formally and was sure to ask what colors would compliment our wedding scheme. That was such a nice touch for her to do and was much appreciated. We are so grateful that she was willing to jump in and were thrilled to have someone so talented as part of our special day! Thank you!!!!

Lovely harpist

Naomi was hired to be our wedding harpist and we had a lovely time planning the day with her. She was responsive via email and supplied a list of frequently used music that included a multitude of genres and songs. We had a zoom meeting just prior to the wedding where she played our chosen songs for us so we could hear her play and make any adjustments. Unfortunately, just before the wedding she became ill and was unable to attend our wedding, but she was very professional and supportive. She was able to quickly find a substitute for us and bring her up to speed. Candace was our replacement harpist and she performed so beautifully on our big day. She made it feel so special and like a fairy tale. Thank you Naomi for the planning and allowing Candace to play the harp for our wedding, and thank you Candace for stepping in and supplying the magical music.

Harpist Extraordinaire

Naomi was an absolute delight at our wedding and truly elevated the entire event. Her harp performance added a touch of elegance and magic that left a lasting impression on us and our guests.

From the moment Naomi began to play, it was clear that her skill and artistry were top-notch. We loved that we were able to select all of our favorite songs for our ceremony. The amount of songs she knows is incredible.

If you’re looking for a way to add a unique and memorable touch to your event, we cannot recommend Naomi highly enough. She was a standout feature of our wedding, and her beautiful music will be cherished in our memories for years to come.
