Blessed to have Kate Rogers play in my wedding.

Kate's my cousin and I'm so glad it worked out for her to play during my ceremony AND reception. She's amazing. We've lived far apart and I've only had small chances to her play. Thank you so much!!

We booked Kate for our wedding ceremony through happenstance. The original vendor we booked had to back out and recommended Kate to us. Upon speaking with Kate and hearing some samples of her music the decision was easy. Kate is an extremely talented musician and very professional. On the day of our wedding she arrived early to the venue and was ready to play as soon as the guests began arriving. Our favorite part was having her play one of our favorite songs at the end of our ceremony, which was NOT on her playlist. I highly recommend Kate if you are in need of a harpist.

Kate played beautifully for our ceremony! We requested all contemporary/pop songs, which she gladly accommodated. Kate was very responsive to my emails and had a lot of great suggestions for songs. Everyone said that having the harpist was such a nice touch for the wedding. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was walking down the aisle to a beautiful harp being played. I would totally recommend Kate to anyone looking for a harpist for their wedding!

Kate played at our outdoor ceremony and during our cocktail hour, and we couldn’t be more pleased. In addition to being a great musician, she was clearly adept at reading the scene during the ceremony to keep on track as we encountered a few unknowns (we weren’t sure how long one ritual would take, the officiant accidentally flipped two sections of the ceremony, etc.) Kate didn’t miss a beat. She was quick to respond to emails and clearly communicated what we should expect from her. We worried about lots of details as we planned our wedding, but the music was NOT one of them! I’d highly recommend Kate.

Kate played the harp during our wedding ceremony, and it was beautiful! We received so many compliments on our choice of ceremony music. Kate has an extensive repertoire of songs, and my husband and I had a fun time meeting with her to pick out our songs. Kate was easy to work with, and we met with her a few weeks before the wedding to pick out our songs and go over the wedding program. She had thoughtful suggestions for us based on music preferences, and we were delighted with the choices we made together. Kate is punctual, and her performance during our wedding was wonderful. We highly recommend her! Also, her performance of “The Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride)” was amazing!!

Kate is awesome! So easy-going and fun to work with! She spent extra time with us as we picked out our ceremony music - and didn't even flinch when I changed it all at the last minute! We originally booked Kate only for the ceremony but ended up dropping a few extra dollars to have her play at the reception because we liked her so much! Very talented harpist! You will NOT be disappointed!
