Wonderful Experience

She and her trio were fabulous! We had a Catholic ceremony in March. Nelda is Catholic and knew all the appropriate music allowed by the church. They arrived early and played for 30 minutes while our guests arrived. Music during the mass was appropriate and lovely. I highly recommend Nelda Etheredge and her colleagues, a violin, flute and Cello. We plan on using her for our Christmas party this year. ❤️

We met Nelda Etheredge at a bridal show in San Antonio. We absolutely loved her music and hired her to play her harp for our wedding ceremony. Nelda was easy to communicate with on our music selection for the ceremony. Although a medical emergency came up and Nelda was not able to play at our ceremony, when she called me about the situation she had already found a replacement for us. The replacement harpist was on time, knew the music, and played beautifully. We appreciated how professional Nelda was!

Nelda’s many years of harp performance experience are clearly evident in the beautiful sound she creates while playing. Not only does she play with confidence, but she also has a vast repertoire and special knowledge of her music which make her very proficient at guiding you in your song selections for your wedding or other special event. It was a pleasure to work with her!

I also had the pleasure of meeting Nelda at a "Garden/River Front" wedding. I was absulutely taken by her skill on her harp and her delightful personality. I can assure you that Nelda and her harp would be a great assest to any Bride and Groom that are looking to bringing charm and elegance to their wedding ceremony. I loved working with Nelda and would recommend her to anybody. Blessings,
