Music To Our Ears

Mary’s music completely transformed the cocktail hour at our wedding. The music set the tone for the rest of our evening. She was so wonderful and easy to work with. She was able to coordinate a violinist to play along side her. Both musicians did such an incredible job. Mary came recommended by my mother and sister. Mary has helped create wonderful events for my family members (my mother’s work parties, my sister’s wedding, etc.). I was so grateful she could be a part of my special day. I cannot recommend her enough. Having live music really took our cocktail hour to the next level. I am grateful for her time and her talent.

Elegant and amazing!

Mary was extremely responsive and professional. She was so helpful in deciding music for the various portions of the ceremony, and we are SO happy we were able to work with her. She also was very receptive to learning new music choices for our wedding - something that really added a special touch and allowed us to personalize the music for our special day. 10/10 would recommend Mary and her beautiful harp playing!

Harp Review

Mary was wonderful to work with. She took the time to meet with us and understand the type of music that was important to us and our ceremony. She even learned a new song just for our wedding. We could not recommend Mary enough.

our August wedding ceremony

Wow, what a perfect touch to our outdoor ceremony and so sentimental to us. Mary was incredible throughout the entire process. She played beautifully and even made a few guest shed some (happy) tears. Can't recommend Mary enough

Thank you!!

Mary was an absolute JOY to have at our wedding! She was so quick to respond to messages, and communicated so well as we planned our wedding. Mary was also willing to take a custom request and learn a new song that was really special for my husband and I. Everything was so perfect! The music was easily one of my favorite things about our wedding. We could not recommend her enough! :)

Wedding at the Villa Terrace

Mary Keppeler was a great addition to our wedding day at the Villa Terrace in Milwaukee. She responded to our inquiry quickly. Mary setup a video call with us before our big day to make sure she had all the details she needed. We loved having her at our wedding, the music was lovely, and recommend her to anyone looking to have a harpist on their special day.

An Ethereal Ceremony!

From beginning to end, Mary was an incredible person to work with. We had some song ideas in mind, and she helped us fill in the gaps with our live video meeting. At the ceremony, I had so many people coming up to us saying that the harp was the perfect touch to the wedding - one friend calling it "ethereal!" I recommend Mary with no hesitation! Thank you for making our wedding day so special and beautiful.
