Thanks Meg!

Meg was fantastic for our wedding! She made our ceremony so special and provided wonderful music for our cocktail hour as well. My husband and I live in San Diego but we got married in Saint Joseph, Michigan. Meg worked with us despite the distance and even set up several video calls, playing portions of different songs over the call to help us choose our music. Meg has a creative vision and a broad music range. She was easy to work with, flexible, positive, professional, and a fantastic musician! She played everything from here comes the sun, to songs from Twilight, to songs from Love Actually, and even the Jurassic park theme song (which my husband requested and thoroughly enjoyed). I could not recommend Meg more!

Meg is the BEST! Perfect Wedding!

Having Meg play at our wedding and reception at Meijer Gardens Victorian Room was the best decision we could have made for an elegant and perfect wedding!! She was awesome about communicating during the planning stages, promptly showed up at the specified time, and played beautifully throughout the entire event. Completely professional and amazing! Our guests all commented what a nice atmosphere it was having a harpist provide the music and entertainment. I would highly recommend hiring Meg to anyone who wants something special and memorable for their event.

Best.Wedding.Decision

I attended a bridal event and heard Meg's harp throughout the entranceway. Her songs were so playful and elegant. I had never thought to have a harp at the wedding. I started talking to her at the event, and I knew from then I would have to hire her for our day! Meg had a meeting prewedding to discuss details and gave helpful tips. On the day of the wedding, Meg showed up early and was ready to play! Her accompaniment was so beautiful and fit the theme perfectly. Meg went above and beyond and even learned the Game of Thrones theme song. She was the easiest external vendor we worked with. Thanks Meg!!!
