    Miriam was great, from first interaction through the wedding itself. She has a broad range of musical knowledge and I think will be able to suit anyone's need if they're looking for a harpist for a special event. We really enjoyed working with her and she's very accommodating and easy-going. Her performance at the event itself was just the sort of tranquil atmosphere we were looking for. Thanks Miriam!

    You're welcome, Aerel. :-)

    Miriam was really wonderful and we are so happy to have had her at our big day! I was able to set everything up with her via email since we live out of state and she let me pick several "non traditional" songs, which made it all the more personal for us!

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Joelle. It was my pleasure to play for your beautiful wedding.

    Miriam is a delightful person and a talented musician. Having such beautiful live music before and during our ceremony really completed the atmosphere I was trying to achieve during my autumn backyard wedding. She was very responsive by phone and email, and accommodating throughout all the planning. We wanted a piece of non-traditional wedding music for my walk down the aisle, which Miriam skillfully played on her lovely Celtic harp (which was the perfect compromise for my budget compared to her larger orchestral harp). She was even thoughtful enough to record her playing it so I could hear how it sounded before the wedding day. My guests enjoyed the music before the ceremony (everything ranging from The Beatles, classical pieces and music from Pixar's UP), and best of all, I could hear the pretty tunes through the window in the room where I was getting ready, which was a wonderful surprise. She was even game for playing under a tarp if the threatening storm brought rain (which thankfully it didn't!) I highly recommend Miriam as your wedding harpist!

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you so much, Anna. It was such a wonderful day in a beautiful setting. Wishing you both all the best.

    Miriam was an absolute joy to have on our wedding day. The mood she set with how beautifully she played her harp was amazing! I am very appreciative that she so gracefully made our special day just that much more special. Thank you!

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Madlyn. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family, and playing in such a beautiful place. Best wishes always.

    Make sure to talk with harpist in advance on details of songs for the ceremony. We forgot to let her know we wanted the entry song to be played all the way through. Miriam did a fantastic job for us and we'd recommend her without hesitation!??

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Leann, I apologize that the music wasn't exactly right, but I do thank you for leaving a positive review. Wishing you all good things.

    Miriam was amazing. Even though it rained during our ceremony and cocktail hour, she worked well with our wedding coordinator and families to find the best solution. Would recommend her over and over again!!!

    Thank you, Stacie. Everyone was so easy to work with. It was my pleasure.

    My wife and I were in a bind due to an unfortunate circumstance with our original musician. I found Miriam online and she was a pleasure to talk to and was more than flexible for us - particularly given the lack of advanced notice we provided her! She was accommodating with respect to our preference of music and some last minute requests we made. Her music was beautiful! It truly added to our wedding experience and was a memorable part of the most special day in our lives.

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Jarett. Wishing you both all the best.

    Absolutely amazing musician... Miriam and her harp were my favorite aspect of the wedding. My guests are still complimenting me on what a beautiful addition to the ceremony the harp was. She played all the music on queue and flawlessly... even switching to the piano for cocktail hour. Booking and sorting out song list and other details was effortless, she was patient, organized and always willing to answer any questions. I never had to wait more than a day for a response I really cannot say enough good things about her... She was absolutely wonderful to work with and I hope I can use her again in the future. If you are looking for a unique and talented musician I highly recommend Miriam and her harp :) Thank you for making our wedding day a dream come true!

    Miriam played at our wedding and was enthusiastically received by all. Not only did she play beautifully, she got into the swing of the party by wearing a hat that matched the wedding theme. Consummate professional. We recommend her for any occasion!

    We used Miriam for our wedding April 18th. She played for both our ceremony and during the cocktail party. She is an amazing harpist, who is very talented. Miriam is very professional and responsive. She is quick to answer any questions and give suggestions as well. I would definitely recommend using Miriam Shrilling for any event, and I hope to use her again in the future.

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Jennifer. It was my pleasure to play for such a lovely couple. Wishing you all the best in your future together.

    It was a pleasure working with Miriam. She is extremely responsive, prompt, professional and flexible. Every time I contacted her she was quick to respond. She will also learn to play anything you want her to. My ceremony was just perfect because of her. She played beautifully at our wedding and we received so many compliments because of her. I highly recommend using Miriam for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour. You will not be disappointed! I hope I get the chance to hear Miriam play again one day soon.

    Thank you so much. You had such a beautiful wedding. It was my pleasure to be a part of it.

    Many guests told us how wonderful Miriam's music was and how much they loved it. The harp music was one of the highlights of the wedding. Miriam was very flexible with the music selection and was willing to learn new pieces to play for us during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We enjoyed having her take part in our special day.

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Lauren. I loved your venue. It is such a beautiful place, and everyone there was so nice. Congratulations!

    I didn't get a chance to meet miriam on my wedding day because of all the chaos but she sued beautifully during my ceremony and cocktail hour and would definitely recommend her.

    Harpist-Miriam Shilling's reply:

    Thank you, Melinda. I enjoyed playing harp for your wedding. But, yes, it seems chaos is part of being a bride! You will enjoy the photographs (and see all you missed!). :-) Congratulations and best wishes.

    Working with Miriam was a pleasure! The first time I emailed her, she got back to me in one hour. She has always gotten back to me immediately and has always been very professional and friendly. I was worried about a couple of things for the wedding day, and the one thing I was not worried about was how the music situation would go! I knew I was in good hands with Miriam. She is extremely professional, prompt, accommodating and the music was beautiful. There was nothing I would change about the experience and I would recommend using Miriam to anyone. I hope to have the chance to hear Miriam's beautiful music again one day.

    Miriam is fantastic as a person and as a musician. She played at our wedding, harp during the ceremony and (in-house) piano during cocktail hour. She was very professional prompt (arrived ahead of time) and delivered on everything she promised. We would definitely recommend her as a vendor for any event
