Talented and professional

Karlinda was a prefect vendor. She was very responsive to all my email inquiries, had a very diverse catalogue of songs she already knew, and was flexible with learning a new song had the need arose. (Her robust song list selection was more than enough for our ceremony) We had a prep call one month in advance to discuss the ceremony and she followed up the call with a detailed email summarizing the ceremony and order of songs. I was truly impress by her talent and professionalism. I would gladly recommend Karlinda for your ceremony music.

Truly Magical!

Wow! Karlinda played so beautifully at my ceremony. It was on the lake and it felt like a movie and a dream come true to hear her. We asked her to learn a song for us and she more than delivered. Karlinda is very talented and I loved her choice of songs. It was very easy to contact her and talk over our wedding details. Please don't hesitate to hire her!

Karlinda Caldicott, Harpist

Karlinda made our ceremony truly special and memorable...there are no words for how amazing she was. She played “Somewhere over the rainbow” for our bridal party entrance, followed by “What a Wonderful World” for the bridal entrance. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The harp added such a unique piece to our wedding and our guests loved it! She is so talented!! Karlinda is easy to work with & worth every penny. If you are considering hiring her: BOOK HER!!! You will not regret it. We love you Karlinda! All our love, Kadie & Jordan Baschnagel 9-15-19 Wedding

Karlinda did the music for my ceremony. Walking down the aisle to harp music was such a dream come true. It was absolutely gorgeous! My guests loved it too. Karlinda is so professional and oh so sweet. She is easy to get it touch with and responds so quickly. The perfect vendor, am I right? Seriously, stop looking for any other harpists. Karlinda is who you want!

Harp was a classy addition to my daughter's wedding. Karlinda is very dependable and extremely detail oriented professional. She is very prompt in her communication and a pleasure to work with. I am recommending her to all family friends for their future ceremonies.

Karlinda's music combined with the violinist she brought was absolutely beautiful. The owner of our venue said it was one of the prettiest music he has experienced for a wedding.

I loved working with Karlinda every step of the way! She was so accommodating and flexible. Karlinda was open to learning a new song for us and it sounded beautiful! I chose the harp and cello duo and I am so glad we did. It was simply breathtaking! All of our guests are still talking about how classy the ceremony music was!

Karlinda was amazing to work with and the music was beautiful. She worked us into her schedule and met with us ahead of time to discuss details of the ceremony. We could not be happier with her and we received several compliments from friends and family on the ceremony music. Thank you so much, Karlinda!

Karlinda was absolutely AMAZING! She provided beautiful ceremony music for our September wedding at the Canfield Casino. The harp made the ceremony so magical and romantic. I walked down the aisle to Pachelbel Canon, which is gorgeous on the harp. She is very talented! I would definitely recommend her.

Karlinda was friendly and easy to work with as the harpist for our wedding ceremony. Her music added that extra element of elegance we were looking for. We had some concerns with how to power the mic for our officiant the week before the wedding, and Karlinda went out of her way to troubleshoot the issue, even travelling to the venue in Saratoga to check out a few things. We were so impressed with how she went above and beyond. Thank you for the beautiful playing, Karlinda!
