Best choice I could have made!

Merinda is such an incredible talent! I recently hired her for to play ceremony music at a wedding. I cannot recommend her enough. Her music added the most beautiful, ethereal touch to the ceremony and so many of the guests commented on how magical it felt. She was professional, punctual, and incredibly talented! Whether she was performing classic pieces or more modern selections, everything was seamless and so moving. If you’re looking to elevate your event with something truly special, Merinda is it!

Wonderful to work with and wonderful performance!

Merinda is AMAZING. I contacted almost 10 different harpists between Utah and Salt Lake county and she was consistently the best and quickest with communicating. Her prices are exceptional, especially considering how well she plays. I was flooded with compliments about the music selection during the ceremony and ceremony dinner because of how well Merinda performed. I can't say enough positive things about her. I am so so glad she was part of my wedding day because she made the atmosphere perfect. :)
