Monika was a fantastic find for our wedding. She was very involved in our music selection process and provided great suggestions about certain pieces/composers that would be best for each section of the ceremony. She also went out of her way to learn several new and arguably obscure songs that we requested for the cocktail hour. Choosing Monika to play to for our wedding gave the whole night a classy, fun, and memorable atmosphere. My wife and I highly recommend Monika for any event!

Best Value in Town. Beautiful music made our day special.

After comparing dozens of vendors, Monika consistently gave the best prices in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. She has an amazing repertoire and incredible professionalism. We love the way her harp music filled the room on our wedding day snd have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience :)

I have performed many ceremonies where Monika has provided her beautiful music. Since my couples are interested in personalized ceremonies I've heard her play everything from contemporary to classical. She is always skilled and polished and very aware of what's going on around her. If a little extemporaneous music is needed she easily and beautifully provides it.
