Stunning perfection!

Kim was responsive, supportive, and kind through the entire process. She brings such a calming and peaceful presence to any room she enters. She radiates kindness and joy and is the sweetest woman I have ever met. She is talented beyond measure and we had such positive feedback from our guests who were ecstatic and trilled with her performance! She found us in all the hubbub of the wedding day and wished us well and presented us with the most darling card and a cd of her music which we listen to constantly. My only regret is that I didn’t have her stay through cocktail hour it would only have been more elevated and elegant had she been there! We also had a very strict color palette and her setup blended seamlessly!

She is a blessing to have at your wedding!

Kim is top notch!

Kim did an AMAZING performance for my wedding. I live in Cincinnati and got married in Charleston, so I was planning things long distance. Kim was great with communication and making sure we had all the songs we wanted for every moment. I need to apologize to her as due to some unforeseen events my ceremony ran an hour late, but she stayed to make sure that ecerything was perfect! Thank you Kim! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely beautiful

Everyone loved having a harpist there. Her music just fit beautifully with Seabrook’s ocean terrace. She was extremely affordable and a thrill to work with. We would hire her again.

Extremely talented and friendly

Kim was an absolute joy to have play the harp at our wedding. I can’t say enough great things about her and how talented she is! She is very personal, positive and just an all around pleasure to work with. She went out of her way to visit our venue before the wedding to get a feel for the area and was extremely professional when we met her in person. Her warm personality along with how beautifully she plays the harp made us feel very lucky to have found her for our special day. She even learned how to play a song that we wanted for our ceremony, which really exceeded our expectations and felt very personalized. Kim will provide you with a wonderful experience, 10 out of 10!

Played wonderful music at our wedding

Kim was beyond words. It’s hard to describe how wonderful she was in such a short review. Not only was our wedding postponed 6 months she was extremely flexible, very responsive, Such a wonderful loving lady, and plays the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Throughout our wedding night we received so many compliments on just how amazing she played. You will not regret having her at your special event.
-thank you Kim for everything! 💚

Magical Night

Our family was determined to make this day a very special day for our daughter and son-in-law. A friend suggested we try a harpist. I wasn’t even aware that having a harpist on the beach was a possibility. After contacting Wedding Wire and finding Kim’s information, we decided to move forward. When Kim began playing the prelude, their wasn’t a dry eye at the ceremony. The harp made the day perfect. We were amazed and delighted, as were our guests and the bride and groom. Of all of our wedding choices, I firmly believe having Kim as our harpist was the most impactful decision we made. It made our daughter’s wedding magical. Kim was delightful to work with. Kim is professional, kind, and provided very timely responses to any of my requests. I liked her so much we invited her to the reception, however she was unable to stay. I HIGHLY recommend Kim at your special day! Kim’s music was the special touch we were searching for.
Thank you Kim!

Talented, professional and reliable

With plans and ordinances constantly changing due to Covid, at the last minute I found myself without music for our welcome party the night before our son’s wedding. Kim was very quick to respond when I reached out to her. She acted quite professionally in our correspondence as well as with the venue regarding her arrival and set up. Our guests loved her music. She was the perfect compliment to our evening!!!

Sweetest Harpist

Could not be more thankful that Kim was a part of our wedding. She was so flexible with us through all of the changes because of COVID-19 and made the experience completely stress free. She was so excited for our wedding and made it beautiful. Loves to learn new tunes.

Kim is awesome!

Kim played for my wedding ceremony. She did an awesome job helping me prepare my music and flow of the ceremony. She even learned a song that I requested at no additional cost. My husband and I were very pleased with her service!

I was lucky at a recent wedding expo -- my booth was across from Kim's! I not only heard her play both traditional music and a take on a pop song beautifully, she is also very gracious and a pro through and through!
