    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.

    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!

    Dr. Whitsett harp review.

    Dr. Whitsett was on time, the music was very appropriate for the audience and the Christmas season. She was very receptive to some minor changes I had requested due to the dinner serving time, which was helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Whitsett to anyone that would enjoy beautiful harp music and hope that she can come back again next year for the Galveston Serra Club Christmas Party. I know his Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo enjoyed the music, along with everyone in attendance.

    Very gifted and professional harpist, highly recommended

    We were lucky enough to work with Joanna for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the result. Having a live harpist as gifted as her really added a lot to our ceremony and we were very glad to have worked with her.

    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.

    Joanna Whitsett was very professional and her music was elegant and offered a wide selection for the Wedding Ceremony Mass. She is exceptional!!

    Joanna Whitset delivered beyond our expectations of a Harpist to provide Prelude Music prior to the Mass Ceremony as well as options for Ceremony Songs.

    Joanna is very professional , exceptional harpist and has an elegant delivery. She was outstanding !!!...
