C+M Mural Room Wedding

Valerie’s harp performance really made our wedding day amazing and special. Many of our guests stated how much they loved her beautiful music. We chose two Ghibli songs and were so happy with Valerie’s renditions, they sounded more amazing than any of the recordings we’d heard. Communicating and coordinating with her was seamless; you can definitely trust her with your wedding day vision. Even though we didn’t meet face to face until the day of, we truly felt her warmth and care on the day of our wedding. We highly recommend her to anyone getting married in Santa Barbara!

Valerie is amazing! Highly recommend!

We had Valerie perform the harp at our wedding ceremony and she was amazing! She had great communication with us as we booked her a year in advance and everything went smoothly on day of the wedding. She has many songs in her repertoire and she plays the songs so beautifully! Having her perform for our ceremony was truly the cherry on top. I highly recommend Valerie! 10/10!

Wonderful Harpist!

We discovered Valerie as she was playing at another wedding at the same venue. We are so grateful she had availability for our date. Her music really made the ceremony so magical! Hearing my processional song on the beautiful harp made me emotional. Valerie was very easy to work with and would recommend her to any couple looking to elevate their wedding.

The best musician I could’ve hired for my wedding day!

Valerie was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so kind of accommodating before the wedding. She asked clarifying questions, that I had not considered prior. She truly helped make the day run smoothly. We could not have hired a better musician for our wedding!

Amazing!!!

We booked Valerie to play the harp for our guest arrival and wedding ceremony. Her music completely elevated the whole experience and she is extremely talented. So many of our guests raved about how nice it was to listen to her music while waiting for the ceremony to begin. I’m so glad we booked her!
In addition she’s a super kind person and great with communication. She was amazing to work with while we were planning the details of our wedding and made the music experience very stress free. I would absolutely recommend!

Highly recommend!

Valerie was great! She has an extensive playlist and worked with me on the timing of my aisle song to get my walking music perfect. Having a harp adds that special touch for your special day (or any occasion that is good for soft background music) and I would highly recommend Valerie!

Amazing Harpist!!!!

I was looking for a musician to add a romantic touch to our elopement. I came across Valerie on google and other wedding vendor websites. I reached out to her a week before the wedding date. She immediately responded graciously and said she was available for our dates. Her pricing was also affordable for all the work she was putting in. She created a playlist for us and let us choose which songs we wanted to walk down the aisle and close with. She also learned one of my favorite songs within that week and was kind enough to play it, which was so touching! Most musicians do not do this. She showed up on time and stayed until all guest left. I could not have asked for a better experience. All of our guest were wowed!!!!! We will be recommending her work to everyone we know. Thank you again Valerie!
