Nicole is Amazing!

Nicole is super personable, professional, and all around a wonderful person to work with. She played beautifully at my wedding and even accommodated quickly after we added something into our ceremony! The best harpist there is! Highly recommend!

Nicole was quick to get back to me, very professional and fit right into the venue.

We had Nicole play for our daughter's wedding at the Ballantyne Country club on St. Patrick's Day in 2018, she was amazing. I will never forget the beautiful music playing across the golf course!

Nicole was amazing!! Very easy to work with. She worked well with my daughter on the music selection and made the ceremony a true success. Her cost was very reasonable and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone if possible. Special thanks from a military family that loves their child and wanted her day to be super special. Nicole played a huge role in making her church ceremony a true success.

Nicole was great to work with! She personally invited us over to her home and let us hear her play any song we had requested. She also had many songs to choose from as we didn't have every song planned for the ceremony. She was also willing to learn any new song if we had one in mind. Nicole is very sweet and truly has a talent and passion for the harp. With Nicole, I had no worries or concerns that my ceremony would be perfect and the harp would set the precedence.

Nicole was wonderful! Her music is so beautiful, and she's great at picking music for your own personal style. She'll work with you as long as it takes to get the right music for your particular ceremony. Everyone raved about how breathtaking her music was and how it flowed perfectly with our ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone in the Pittsburgh area, a harpist is a great way to entertain your guests at your wedding, and I don't think they get any better than Nicole!

Nicole did a wonderful job with our ceremony music. I heard most of it later when watching the wedding video, but it still sounded great. She plays beautifully and the harp really added something special to our ceremony. Thanks again!

Nicole performed beautifully at our ceremony. It is truly a pleasure to listen her play. My only complaint is that she can be hard to get in touch with, however the end result was more than worth it!
