Harris Academy provided a cello/piano duet for our reception and it couldn’t have been better in any way. The music was moving and set the perfect tone for our relaxing, low-key, classy wedding reception. Guests commented throughout the evening that they loved the song selection and arrangements. They were so easy to work with, I had to do barely anything and they provided the perfect outcome. I would highly recommend!!

Harris Academy's music made my wedding perfect!

My one "must-have" for my formal morning wedding was a live string quartet. Vicki and the other musician's performance exceeded my expectations - the quality and selection of music was beautiful and perfect! The processional music was moving and personal, and the music during the prelude and reception was the perfect elegant backdrop. I planned my Nebraska wedding remotely from Denver. Vicki was in constant communication with me, reassuring me, during the planning. In the end - I could not have been happier. My guests all commented on what a beautiful touch the music added to this special day.

Harris Academy- Wedding music

Harris Academy was fantastic from start to finish of working with them! The musicians were really fabulous at our wedding, we had a pianist and violin and they were both awesome. Harris was really easy to work with and communicated throughout the entire process. Would definitely use them again!

Absolute Perfection!

We had a string quartet for our wedding ceremony and it was beyond perfect! The musicians were AMAZING, and we received so many compliments on our music. Staff at Harris were extremely pleasant and easy to work with. We shared our vision and requests and they executed both perfectly! I would absolutely recommend them as it was a beautiful experience and we are so happy we chose to use them!

My daughter and I planned a wedding in Nebraska City, NE, from south Florida and Alabama; not an easy task. Harris Academy was listed on the venue's "Vendor List" and we could not have been more pleased with our selection. The staff was so professional, organized, pleasant to work with, and understood our requests. The guitarist arrived on time; he played as the guests were being seated and during the cocktail hour; and he was so talented and enjoyed by all. We highly recommend Harris Academy of the Arts for your musical needs.

Harris Academy did an amazing job. They played the violin and the piano (a really lovely combination)! I was able to listen in around the corner as they played some of my choices during the prelude. It was beautiful! They played "How Beautiful" by Twila Paris as I walked down the aisle. Wow! It set the mood and created this incredible moment that I will never forget. The people at Harris Academy are really wonderful people and took really great care of me! I would whole heartedly recommend them!

Such a great business to work with, very professional and organized! They were able to get a string quartet together in about a month for my wedding. The strings sounded amazing during the ceremony and dinner and I got so many compliments!! Thank you so much for making my day so special!

Harris Academy of the Arts was spectacular! My husband and I had a vision for the sounds of our wedding and all of the songs we requested became a reality! We had one song in particular that was not a current song in their arsenal and Olivia was able to find sheet music for the song therefore being able to bring our musical dreams to life (and save us the cost of having to have one of the talented musicians create sheet music)! The pianist also accompanied a soloist and was able to provide practice music ahead of time so that the pair performed flawlessly at the event! We had the violin/piano combo. I highly recommend adding professional musicians to your event, you will not regret it!

Olivia & Vicki from Harris Academy of the Arts were absolutely fabulous to work with! Olivia was only on day 6 of the job, but based on her organization & level of preparedness for the meeting, you would’ve sworn she’d been at it for years! Both ladies made the entire process seamless and extremely enjoyable! They broke down each part of the ceremony and we discussed our vision for each segment as they made suggestions if we weren’t quite sure. They never once laughed at my extreme love for any and all Disney songs, and were actually very excited about incorporating them into our ceremony. The ladies met with us at 7:30pm on a school night as to accommodate our busy schedules and did not rush the appointment even though it was such a late one. The Harris Academy of the Arts has a whimsical and fun atmosphere; pianos were playing the background of our appointment which just helped to set the scene for our meeting. Then the ladies themselves being extremely helpful, knowledgeable & sweet, made it all picture perfect!! They made our ceremony sound absolutely amazing!! It truly helped tie everything for our special day together!! It sounded absolutely beautiful and set the elegant tone (pun intended) for our ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
