    A dream from start to finish!

    Joanna Whitsett was a dream to work with! She has an extensive library of music from which to choose beautiful ceremony music. For this wedding, she played solo as well as with a guitarist, and the result was just magical. 10/10 recommend!

    A Magical fairytale-like experience!

    Joanna's musical talent was nothing short of a real life fairy tale! It truly set the tone for our wedding, making me like an elegant princess as I walked down the aisle. She truly was the cherry on top of our wedding, with her beautiful music she played! I definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to have that magical touch added to their big day !

    Joanna added so much to this beautiful wedding.

    Joanna was absolutely incredible. She is professional but very approachable. She was so pleasant to the guests. The song selections were perfect and her coordination with organist Cameron Cody were beautiful. Joanna makes every effort to create an event as if she were doing it for family. She is gifted in so many ways, and has such a heart for others. She is a Star.

    Professional Sweet Artist who helped make our Ceremony as romantic as imagined

    Joanna helped make our Wedding Ceremony as romantic as we had imagined! She kept an open-line of communication and even worked with my singer friend on the songs requested. Her Harp produces the most dreamy sound. She is professional and kind, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Beautiful Elegance

    Joanna was amazing! From the first contact to the end of our ceremony she was so accommodating. We knew we wanted a harpist at our wedding and she was perfect! She even did a duet with our guitarist! The best part is she invited the kids who were curious to touch and created a memory. She will forever be in our hearts for the special moments at our ceremony! Thank you!

    50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

    Joanna graciously gave up a holiday to drive to Galveston and perform our selected music for a 50th anniversary vow renewal ceremony. She is the epitome of professionalism. I would recommend her to anyone who desires harp music at their event!

    Joanna's beautiful musical performance made my wedding ceremony special and elegant.

    Joanna plays the harp beautifully. She arrived early, was very professional and played all the songs we requested for our ceremony. She was reasonably priced and generous with her time. I highly recommend her for a lovely and elegant wedding experience.

    Joanna Whitsett and Harp Elegance are Fabulous

    My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Working with Joanna is a delight, the consummate professional. We changed our music up to the morning of our service and she was right on target with all of it. She had never played one of our choices a week before the ceremony, downloaded the music and played it without flaw right away.
    I recommend Joanna and Harp Elegance to all!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Joanna is simply talented so don't think twice about hiring her. The harp sounds beautiful and with the addition of Joanna, the music is magical. The process is simple too--you just choose the music and Joanna takes care of the rest! Thank you Joanna for making my ceremony feel so special and warm!

    Perfect and professional

    Joanna was such a delight to work with! So professional and lovely. Any requests made she knew the song or learned it! Really amazing work and the music itself brought our ceremony to another level. I recommend her 100x :)

    I hired Joanna for my wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. I love that she communicated with me concerning the songs I wanted to use for my ceremony and didn't even have to call me on my wedding day to confirm anything which made my day stress free! The harp sounded so beautiful & angelical.

    Christmas Party

    We hired Joanna to come play her harp at our Christmas Party. Oh my gosh I can't explain how beautiful her music was. We did not want her to stop. It made the party so magical to have her there. I seriously will hire her again for every Christmas now. If any bride is thinking of having a harpist at her wedding, I would not hesitate to hire Joanna. There is something just so calming and beautiful about her music.

    Excellent - will keep using her for events

    This is our second time using Joana and she is amazing.
    We used her in 2019 for my daughter’s Quinceañera and we used her last weekend for my daughter’s wedding.
    She is great!
