Absolutely Amazing!

Jessica was absolutely amazing! She called us and talked to us about her artistry and we knew she would be the perfect fit :) She has a very extensive list of songs she already knows, and was even willing to learn a few new songs for us. We were able to walk down the aisle as husband and wife to the GOT theme song!
We also experienced a rain delay on our wedding and Jessica was super patient and hung around hiding inside with her harp so we could still have our wedding outside.
If you are thinking about having a harp at your wedding-DO IT! It made our ceremony so romantic and all of the guests loved it!

Professional Performer,

My organization hired Jessica as a harpist for more than one performance in a variety of venues. She was responsive and communicative, and asked important questions about the venue and sound situation to prepare for the best performance. She manages her own equipment seamlessly and easily, dresses and presents herself professionally, and slips out quietly when her work is done. Musically, she is an excellent harpist with a repertoire of both classical and current choices. You will be pleased!

Same Sex Wedding

From the first phone call to the last pluck...Jessica was nothing but professional! I loved when she said she has performed for every stripe on the "flag". Jessica took a great deal of time to learn about us and all of the details of the ceremony. It was very important to her to integrate herself fully into the experience. She was kind and thoughtful and truly a delight. I would recommend her beautiful talent for any occasion. Thank you Jessica!!
