A Perfect Touch!

From the very beginning, Ester at Elegant Harp set the beautiful tone for our daughter's reception!! Ester and her harp was the detail we were so excited about to make our guests feel extra special, and create an atmosphere of romance, which is exactly what she did. My only regret, is as mother of the bride, is that I did not get a chance to just sit and listen to her. Truly beautiful. Ester was so easy and very professional to work with. I highly recommend Elegant Harp and Ester Underhay. I will definitely use Elegant Harp for other occasions as well. Such a beautiful touch to any event!!!

Perfect Ceremony Music

We wanted to create an unforgettable atmosphere for our guests during our wedding ceremony. After speaking with Esther it was an easy decision to move forward with The Elegant Harp. Esther is professional, knowledgeable and extremely talented. Although she offers a huge selection of songs, she still went above and beyond to learn a special song for our ceremony. We can’t recommend Esther and her team enough!

Boldt Caslte Magic

Esther Underhay made our wedding ceremony at Boldt Castle "over the top" special. Esther's music is just beautiful and she is so versed & flexible in accomodating music selections and requests. A complete professional with a beautiful manner & smile. Esther was a pleasure to work with and put us at ease in the weeks leading up to our wedding. In a time when depending upon a vendor can result in disappointment, Esther was a brilliant choice that added the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony. Worth every penny.

Enchanting, magical, and perfect!

Choosing Esther and The Elegant Harp for our ceremony musicians was the best choice we could have made for our wedding day. She and her other musicians did a wonderful job, and Esther was so beautifully warm, kind, professional, and easy to work with. She communicated so well and always warmly and with flexibility. We even asked if she could learn a song that is dear to us that is not part of her repertoire, and she did so with optimal ease, skill and grace. We are deeply grateful for the beautiful work they did. It was the most magical musical bliss we could've had. We are certain that we chose the best musicians to make the best day of our lives even more magical, and we are SO thankful for that. Please choose this team for your wedding day - you will find them enchanting!!!

Beautiful soul music

We first met Ester at her home to decide whether the harp would be our choice of music. She asked a number of questions as to the kind of music we liked. That was a hard question to answer as we all have different opinions.
I asked what she would recommend to play as I was walking down the aisle, she began to strum those beautiful strings with absolute love and devotion and I burst into tears. The sounds went right into my soul and I immediately knew this was what I wanted for my wedding.
My guests all commented on how beautiful the music was.
I highly recommend her services for any occasion not only a very special occasion like a wedding.

Played the Harp at Wedding

Esther played at our wedding. She is very talented and played beautifully, which added to the wedding. I loved that she has a variety of songs to choose from. Prior to my wedding she was extremely helpful with the planning aspect, and was willing to play and do what I wanted. Esther was always available to help me with anything I needed, which then helped make her part to my wedding easy. I recommend her.

She was a delight! Absolutely stunning!

Esther played the harp during my wedding ceremony this past October 2023. The way she plays is so angelic and beautiful. Everyone at my wedding felt as though they walked into a Hollywood movie. She was a dream and a perfect aspect to my wedding. I highly recommend Esther as your musician during your ceremony. She also has an amazing husband who is a pastor/reverend and officiates weddings. They are so professional and a perfect duo! Highly recommend!
