Hiring Naomi was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only is her music so wonderfully beautiful, she has a charming and charismatic personality, and is a team player! She coordinated with our wedding colors, and was very sweet, easy to work with, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Honestly, we continue to receive compliments days after our wedding occurred on how great the harpist was. And it really does dress up a wedding ceremony and gives a more upscale and classy vibe. Our venue coordinators were also in awe of the harp music. My only regret was having been the bride and not a guest, else I could have enjoyed all of the music she played! I also wish I would have walked down the aisle slower to prolong the song I chose for my processional. Anyway, that just gives me an excuse to keep recommending her to friends who plan to get married so I get my moment as a guest to hear her play :) Soon enough, hehe. Thanks again, Naomi. You’re amazing!

Beautiful Harp
Naomi was fantastic to work with and really brought class to our wedding! Since I live out of state, she was so easy to communicate with via email. Everything went perfectly on our day and it sounded just so beautiful! It made my wedding dream come true! Thank you again, Naomi! I will definitely be recommending to everyone back home!

We are so happy that we selected Naomi to play the ceremony music for our wedding. She was able to play every song that we requested without hesitation. Naomi is an outstanding harpist and has a lovely and welcoming personality to go along with it.

Bride/client
I loved Naomi. If you want to impress your guests, having a harpist will set the ambience of elegance and class of your party. I'm glad I met Naomi at the SD Bridal Bazaar because she is so sweet and easy to work with. Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable. I hired Naomi for my wedding ceremony and I would hire her again for my next party. She also has an extensive musical background and basically knows every song in the book. I had a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme for my wedding and she played Moon River beautifully. She provides her own sound system and her harp is large and beautiful. Definitely a great accessory to my wedding :)

Thank you, Naomi! Such a beautiful ceremony and we are so, so glad to have found her! Naomi is very experienced, knows her ceremonies (we had a catholic mass and she was ready for us!) and has such a beautiful voice! Impeccable and we are so grateful to have had you for our ceremony. Wish you the absolute best and highly recommend! If you are looking for a harpist, Naomi is the one. Her vocals with the harp will add the perfect touch to an already perfect day. Thank you!

My husband and I hired Naomi for our wedding day in Nov. 2017. Since I was a little girl, I always loved the sound of a harp! When we found Naomi, I knew instantly that I wanted her to play at our wedding. She was able to play the non-traditional songs that we wanted for almost every spot during our ceremony and reception. Her music was beautiful. We loved it and our guests loved it too. I would highly recommend Naomi for your next big event. She was wonderful!!

This was the second time I asked Naomi Alter to perform...first for my daughter's wedding and then again at my granddaughter's. What a professional "special" woman Naomi is and most responsive to your musical needs and spoken desires. Her beautiful music sets the initial mood and achieves the theme for your event. Consider Naomi a "gift" to give and share with your guests

Naomi makes your wedding ceremony unforgettable!
Her incredible talent & beautiful harp playing goes without saying but everything about her is perfect!
From our first encounter to the last beautiful song she played went without a hitch! We played an April Fools joke at the wedding and she went above & beyond finding learning & playing the "Mission Impossible Theme".
From what she wore to every aspect of the business dealings- simply perfect!

We hired Precious Naomi for our Niece's wedding we held at our home in Carlsbad. Her elegance and grace lit up the precession! Every guest couldn't stop talking about the Harpist and how GREAT she was...WELL SHE IS!!!!

My mom and I met Naomi at the Bridal Bazaar. After she played a couple sample songs for us on her harp, we knew we wanted to have her for my wedding. She was able to offer lots of suggestions for ceremony songs and welcomed requests of our favorite songs for cocktail hour. Her music was beautiful and definitely set the tone for our romantic day!!

I had the pleasure of hearing Naomi Alter perform at my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding this past weekend, and what an absolute treat it was for all present! Naomi is so incredibly talented and her performance was FLAWLESS. The secluded outdoor garden wedding combined with the beautiful harp music made the ceremony feel absolutely magical. In addition, when we learned that Naomi was able to perform a traditional Persian wedding song on the harp at the Persian/American wedding, we absolutely knew we had found the right professional! Naomi often performs at the Bridal Bazaar, where my daughter-in-law first met her in person and reported she was literally brought to tears by her performance. Nearly two years later, to have her perform at the couple’s wedding was, I am convinced, God’s intended blessing. Naomi can count me as a lifetime fan, and I can refer her without reservation to anyone looking for a harpist to perform at their wedding or other special event. I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed with Naomi Alter!!!

Ms. Alter was simply wonderful! Her music, her counsel, all was perfect. Harp music is always lovely, especially when provided by such an excellent musician, and the elegant touch of her music completed the ambiance we hoped to achieve at our daughter's wedding on a terrace in Balboa Park. Nothing about Naomi Alter disappoints! I encourage anyone planning a wedding to contact her.
A grateful mother-of-the bride,

We could not have selected a better harpist than Naomi Alter! Her joyful yet calming character was so appreciated amidst the turmoil preceding the ceremony. She came early to rehearse the vocal piece with my daughter and adapted seamlessly to the speed of the procession. Her sound equipment was excellent in our open air venue overlooking a valley. Needlessly to say, her musical expertise is unsurpassed and appears effortless. She makes every effort to provide all musical selections requested and comes through with grace and style. There is simply no better choice if a harpist is desired.

Naomi played at my wedding in November 2013 at La Costa Resort and Spa. She was amazing! From the beginning I talked with her over the phone regarding not sure how to find the "right harpist" as I have never had to look for one to her patience when I began to run out of time to reply to some emails of hers because my wedding was right around the corner, she was pleasant and professional the whole time. Of the compliments I received at my wedding the top ones were, "your harpist was great!" She did a great job playing the harp, accompanying my sister as she sang to us, and thanks to her kindness we got some great wedding harp shots! Thank you so much Naomi-best of luck to you and your career!

We booked Naomi on my sister's recommendation as we do not live in San Diego anymore. We heard her music on her website and thought it was beautiful. Her music however sounds much more impressive in person & she performed a solo, "from this moment" and it almost brought me to tears. It was truly a memory I will cherish forever. Our family and friends couldn't give her enough compliments. Her professionalism and beautiful demeanor was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Naomi for any special occasions but she is a must for all weddings!! Her music is truly special.

Naomi put together beautiful selections for the ceremony and cocktail hour. She was great to work with, extremely professional and pleasant, and our guests have given us many compliments on her performance. A friend who is getting married in a few weeks plans to co-opt some of pieces for his own processional. Naomi sounds even better in person than in the recordings on her website. She stayed an extra hour, without us even having to ask, when various disasters delayed the start of the reception. We highly recommend her.

Naomi did a wonderful job at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests truly enjoyed her music and her professionalism. Naomi was extremely organized and reached out to us at least two weeks in advance for our music selection and her website made it very easy for us to make our decisions. It was if angles were playing the music, it was that heavenly.
