Amazing Experience

Tomoko and her colleagues were amazing professional and fantastic musicians! We had a harp and cello duo play at our wedding, and everything was seamless. We had always envisioned having a harp play at our wedding, and I heartily recommend Tomoko to anyone for making our vision come true!

Beautifully nostalgic.

When my fiancée expressed her desire to have live music at our wedding, I was originally thinking of having piano music. However, after listening to Tomoko's performance during my search, I immediately knew she was the one for us.

I absolutely adore Tomoko's musicality! Her selection of music was extensive and so very nostalgic for me! Her songs ranged from the classics (classical and Yiruma) to songs that tugged at my childhood heart strings (final fantasy and kingdom hearts). Tomoko arrived on our wedding day looking beautiful and played even more beautifully.

Tomoko was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so flexible and accommodating and was willing to travel to two different locations to perform for us. She brought her own amplification which made it so much simpler for us since our ceremony was outdoors. Lastly, she was willing to learn a new song for us to perform on our special day.

All in all, Tomoko was a wonderful support to us on our most special day! I seriously cannot wait to work with her again in future events!

Variety, Talent, and Value

Tomoko is everything a couple with eclectic taste could ask for in a musician for their wedding. Furthermore, she is prompt and professional in responding to emails, which is an amazing plus when trying to plan a wedding from another country like we did.

Tomoko is absolutely wonderful! My sister hired her for her wedding and my fiance loved it so much, he insisted we book her as well. I had a very specific song in mind to walk down the aisle, and I asked Tomoko to learn it for the ceremony. It was played exactly like I had pictured it, and I've gotten so many compliments on the ceremony music. Her price is reasonable, and her talent is astounding.

Tomoko Harpist and the Cellist was 100% perfect.
As a former US Marine they past my white glove inspection, they were organized, professional, played beautifully and were very understanding of the changes that I made. The music that they played at my ceremony will forever be apart of me and I will use them again for my first year Anniversary. The cost was very reasonable for the level of experience and expertise that I received, this I only realized once they started to play. Once again thank you for making my humbe ceremony a memorable one.

As my husband and I celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, I wanted to take a moment to recommend Tomoko Sato as a harpist for any occasion. She is an incredibly talented musician, and one of the kindest and most professional people you’ll have the pleasure to work with. It was my mother’s dream that I have a solo harpist play at my wedding. My mom passed away a number of years before my wedding day, but having Tomoko play throughout my ceremony brought that dream to life. It was a very important part of my wedding day, and I can’t imagine having trusted it to anyone else. Not only did Tomoko meet with me prior to play for me, she also learned new songs for us that were close to our hearts. We are so grateful to have had Tomoko be a part of our special day!

Tomoko is absolutely fantastic! As a wedding planner, I have worked with hundreds of ceremony musicians, and she is one of the best. She has taken both classic and contemporary songs and makes them elegant and beautiful. She's also fantastic with communication both before the wedding and on the wedding day. I highly suggest her!
