Marissa is a beautiful woman with an incredible talent. She was easy to communicate with and was absolutely hassle-free. EVERYONE commented on how wonderful her harp sounded in the chapel. I also had an organist and while working independently from one another, the music was seamless. I absolutely recommend Marissa for your service and/or reception.

We booked Marissa kind of last minute. We originally had strings lined up to play for our ceremony and they bailed last minute. Marissa was incredibly accommodating and she was very responsive. Her music was beautiful and it truly left such an elegant touch on our wedding day. Our guests raved about her music and her harp was such a lovely addition to our photos. I can't wait to get our wedding video back so I can listen to all of the harp music! I recommend Marissa to anyone that wants to make their event that much special!
