The perfect addition to any event! Kara Welch Harp!

If you are looking for a harpist in the DC/Baltimore region it doesn't get better than Kara! Having Kara perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was some of the best money we spent on our wedding day. The blue harp is a gorgeous addition to the atmosphere and the music Kara plays adds elegance and serenity to any event.

Kara was easy to work with, great at communicating, and had lots of options for music. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful and Memorable

Having Kara play at our wedding was very emotional and memorable. The change of music cues while everyone walked down the aisle was so beautiful. Definitely brought tears to the eyes. Thank you so much Kara for being such an important part of our day!

Beautiful music and a wonderful person!

Hiring Kara to play during my wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I've ever made! She's incredibly talented and her beautiful music really elevated our ceremony. She was also so professional, organized, communicative, and an absolute delight to work with. She even learned a new song just for my ceremony, truly going above and beyond to make my event special. I'll be forever grateful for the role she played on this special day and couldn't recommend her more highly!
