Renee made our wedding ceremony beautiful!

We were so lucky to stumble upon Renee when looking for a musician for our wedding ceremony. Both of our parents’ weddings had harpists, so we thought we would look at the option, and when we listened to some of Renee’s music we knew we had found the right fit.

Renee was lovely to work with. She was very quick to respond to our questions and let us know exactly what she needed from us. We were also happy to have the option to extend past the ceremony and have her play for a cocktail hour after our ceremony before we changed venues.

On the day of the wedding, the music was absolutely lovely. Several guests commented on what a wonderful touch the live musician is, and the groom’s uncle commented “I’ve played as a musician at 250-300 weddings, and this harpist is one of the best I’ve heard! Where did you find her?”

If you’re looking for a musician for your wedding ceremony, look no further. Renee is perfect.

Chicago Wedding Ceremony Harpist

Renee was just a joy to work with during my daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Her communication throughout the wedding planning process was very good as she was quick to respond to any questions asked. She was very prompt the day of and I received many compliments from our guests about her playing. She has a very vast repertoire which included Bollywood songs that "delighted" my daughter's In-laws who are Indian. She was very professional and just played so beautifully. I would highly recommend her!

Absolutely magnificent!

In the middle of a global pandemic, Renee made our intimate civil ceremony wedding absolutely wonderful! She was a joy to work with prior to our special day and brought her beautiful music to our venue with such elegance. Renee was so responsive and thoughtful throughout the planning process and delivered exactly what she promised. In fact, she exceeded our expectations! We were so happy to have Renee join us and our immediate families at our venue overlooking the Chicago River. The music were played beautifully and our guests absolutely loved the Bollywood songs! Such a lovely surprise for them. We would highly recommend Renee for future special occasions. She is incredibly talented, considerate and kind. Thank you so much, Renee! You were marvelous!

Renee made our plan B wedding feel incredibly special!

I felt so dejected after having to postpone my big wedding reception until next year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. My fiancé and I still wanted to get married on the original date as it marked our 15th year anniversary. It was very stressful coming up with a plan B as we weren't even sure if it was going to be possible with the state's restrictions. Having Renee play our ceremony and dinner music was the easiest part of the process. She was timely when responding to emails and had my trust immediately. She sounded amazing in person. Every song was so beautiful. We had access to the patio at the restaurant where our wedding took place, but I did not want to leave and miss a second of Renee's playing. My guests had a lot of fun trying to guess the names of the harp arrangements Renee played. All of my guests complimented the music. Overall, Renee provided a classy, intimate, and elegant ambience that would not have otherwise been present at our wedding. I wish I had another fancy event that I could hire her for! Thank you so much, Renee.

Such a lovely experience!

I am so happy I hired Renee for my wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with. Renee made everything so easy from start to finish. I had several songs I requested and she fulfilled every request. She went above and beyond what I could have asked for on my wedding day. She is so talented and every song she plays is beautiful! My guest loved her. I would highly recommend Renee!

Perfect Addition to Our Ceremony

From the start, we knew we wanted a live musician at our wedding ceremony. We had discussed different options, but ultimately we decided that we wanted to have a harpist. One of the reasons that Renee stood out to me is due to the fact that she has dozens of samples of her work on her You Tube page. I loved the way she sounded and knew that she would be the perfect addition to our ceremony. Pre-wedding email correspondence was very clear and helpful. On the day of, she fully lived up to all of our expectations. Both myself and our guests enjoyed her music. You will not regret the decision to hire this talented harpist for your wedding.

Ceremony Harpist

Much of her repertoire is on YouTube - it was so helpful to listen to the arrangement of each song prior to the day of our wedding! She was so easy to work with and helpful selecting and arranging our songs. The harp was such a beautiful accent to our ceremony. The day of the wedding we completely forgot to hand her the remaining balance due and she could not have been more gracious about it! We mailed her the remainder before we left for our honeymoon. Highly recommend!

I have never hired a musician for their services before my wedding day. Renee was great at communicating with me, especially with all my silly questions. She will travel to a wedding site and won't charge you and arm and a leg because it's not within a 5 mile radius. She was professional, played beautifully, and was sincere. After my ceremony, several guests asked me for Renee's contact information. I would definitely recommend her, and would hire her again!
