Milwaukee Harpist - Mary E Keppeler

Mary exceeded our expectations and our hope for wedding ceremony music. We got married at Anodyne Coffee in Milwaukee, WI and her harp sounded beautiful on the wood and brick space. We met virtually with Mary to tell her our vision for our ceremony music: folk/ Irish, Disney, and video game music. Mary had plenty of ideas for music that could work well for prelude, processional, and recessional. Prelude music included some of our favorites- Fairy Fountain from Zelda and I See the Light from Tangled. I walked down the aisle to Tale as Old as Time from Beauty and the Beast. Our recessional was Married Life from Up. I only wish I could have been able to listen to everything but I know the guests loved it!!! Thank you Mary!

If you are contemplating having live music for your wedding ceremony or perhaps your cocktail hour, look no further than harpist, Mary Keppeler. Mary was so easy to work with. We never had to stress trying to get a hold of her. No matter how many times we reached out, Mary was right there, ready to offer suggestions or answer any questions we had. I remember when our daughter and her fiancée went to hear Mary play for the first time. She called me on her way home and said, “mom, wait until you hear her, I actually cried.” Needless to say, her music is THAT beautiful! She showed up on the wedding day and looked beautiful and was so professional. She said she would be at the venue by 230, and she was true to her word! This left her plenty of time to set-up for the 4:00 ceremony. We thought it would be lovely to have a violinist play with Mary. When we told her about our idea, she didn’t hesitate for a minute. She said she worked with violinists before and she would be more than happy to reach out to see if anyone would be available on the day of the wedding. We received so many compliments about the ceremony music and how beautiful it was. We were lucky enough to have Mary and the violinist play during the cocktail hour as well. I can’t tell you how many people raved about the music. I noticed many people sitting very close to her and the violinist, just enjoying the beauty of the music. Do yourself a favor and book Mary for your wedding. You will be so happy you did! I promise!

Truly an excellent harpist! I was beyond impressed with Mary's work. Although she charges in advance for her work (not my style), I certainly did receive far more than expected. She is trustworthy and very professional, was elegantly dressed and arrived well before her appointed time and was set up beautifully at our reception venue. I received so many compliments on the rare treat of live harp music afterwards. Her music was varied, and simultaneously relaxing yet engaging - - - perfect for a wedding reception experience; I'd definitely be working with her again (after all I have three more daughters - LOL). Thanks again, Mary!
