Non-negotiably Amazing - Best Dreamy Harp Music

Stephanie was such an incredible component of our special day, her harp playing freezes time and sets the absolute perfect mood to really take in the moment. Working with her was incredible as well, she had an extensive list of songs and even planning the details with her helped us figure out the flow of our ceremony!

Stephanie and her harp in our forest setting were such a dream. When I think back to our wedding, I think of her rendition of our favorite song - beautiful beyond words.

Our dream harpist!

Steph was a phenomenal addition to our wedding in Tuscany! She went above and beyond to tailor the performance to the vibe we were looking for. She was flexible, organized and extremely talented. She’s also a fun and friendly person who got along great with all of our other guests! We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist in NYC or beyond, for a wedding or any other occasion.

Magical wedding music!

Steph was amazing. She helped us plan our songs and was open to working with us on some less familiar songs. Very professional and experienced. All that was sugar on top. Her performance was perfect and added such a special element to our wedding. We will never forget it. Highly recommend.

Magical Harpist!!

Steph truly made our reception magical. Throughout the planning process and during the event, she was kind, professional, responsive, warm, and so darn good at her art! She helped us make choices about music ahead of time that we didn’t even think of and she composed a special arrangement of our song. She helped us navigate the equipment and sound system logistics and communicated directly with our venue and the DJ. All our guests were raving about entering the space to ethereal modern-meets-classic harp melodies. We sincerely cannot recommend Steph enough - we love her!

Highly recommend!

I hired Stephanie to play during our wedding! She preformed the classics during my ceremony to welcome guests and as I walked down the aisle. She also played popular songs during our cocktail hour. I loved working with Stephanie, she helped us navigate song selection and was always quick to respond. It was important for us to find someone talented, professional and kind to be apart of our special day and Stephanie was all of these and more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

EXACTLY what we were looking for!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Stephanie and her team perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were nothing short of incredible! My husband and I have a pretty wide range of music tastes and could not decide on whether we wanted to feature more classic wedding music, modern top 40, or R&B/Hip hop hits, but thanks to Stephanie, we didn't have to choose! She fully understood our vision from the first consultation and was able to create a seamless setlist based solely on us sharing some of our favorite songs from various genres. In addition to perfectly blending twists of pop, hip hop, R&B, and the classics, Stephanie was able to tap into her network of seasoned talented musicians and fulfill our request for a violinist accompaniment. She took so much stress and mental load off of us during a time when we were so overloaded, and we are just as appreciative of that as we are for the beautiful music.
Stephanie created a truly unforgettable experience for us. Our guests still rave about the gorgeous music to this day, and to have been able to work with someone who is so talented, kind, and knowledgeable made all the difference in the world, not only for our wedding day, but for our planning experience as a whole. Thank you so much, Stephanie!
