    Excellent harpist!

    Hope is an amazing musician and harpist. From the start she was very responsive. She was also very accommodating with the very last minute changes on our part. Very understanding and very professional! Apart from her already vast repertoire she also played a few songs that were very special to us. Making our day extra special. All the guests couldn't stop talking about amazing she was. Her music is simply beautiful. Would highly recommend her!

    Hope was not only an amazing musician and harpist, she was flexible with changes to wedding dates and venues due to COVID-19 restrictions.

    Hope is a amazing musician and harpist. She was also flexible with our COVID-19 weddings plans for our daughter. The quality of musicianship and professionalism matched the beauty and grandeur of St. Luke’s UMC and The Astorian wedding venue in Houston, Texas. Hope was accommodating when the the dates changed and was able to make her services portable as she moved from St. Luke’s to The Astorian for a cocktail hour. As a musician, I understand the need for wedding musicians to be able to handle musical requests, but also be able to collaborate and facilitate direction for the wedding service. Hope was all of these things, but most importantly a beautiful musical addition to our daughter and her new husband’s wedding day!

    Wonderful!

    Hope was so accommodating from the moment I first contacted her. Hope played background music for my reception. From the start, she answered all my questions, took all my song requests, responding in a timely manner. She is as sweet as she is talented! My guests loved listening to her and were completely impressed by her talent and repertoire of music, as am I! She is a delight to work with, and I heartily recommend hiring Hope for your special occasion! Thank you, Hope, for making my special day even more special!

    Hope was a dream to work with!

    Hope was an absolute dream to work with. She plays the harp so heavenly! She was always very patient with me and my constant emails about song choices. I was not able to interact very much with her the day of the wedding, but my guests could not stop commenting on how lovely she played and set the tone for the ceremony. We are very happy to have hired Hope to play at our wedding. It truly made the day that much more special. Thank you, Hope!

    Performed at our wedding

    We had Hope perform the harp at our wedding at The Springs Event Venue in Katy. She was fantastic and after the ceremony everyone commented on how good she was. I highly recommend Hope for anyone looking for a harpist.

    Hope gave me hope! Ms. Cowan was such a pleasure to work with. She was recommended to me by another vendor that I had booked and unfortunately had to cancel about 2 months before my wedding. Hope stepped in and never missed a beat. She worked with my niece that was singing in our wedding and she was very prompt in her email responses and very pleasant. I sent her a list of songs that I wanted to hear and she created a playlist without hesitation. Hope is very talented and plays beautifully. Our guests said they could tell what each song was that she played. She was a wonderful addition to our ceremony and I am so glad we were fortunate to have her.

    Hope was great! She was able to add a violinist to the agenda and they played beautifully. All my guests absolutely loved the addition of the harp and violin to the ceremony.

    We LOVED the music, the ambiance and the professionalism that Hope contributed to our wedding. She even stayed around to wish you well after the ceremony! If you want an elegant addition to your event, don't hesitate to contact her. She's not just a wonderful musician, she's a wonderful person as well.

    Thank you, Hope!!!

    As the Mother of the bride, I didn’t know where to begin as far as the music for the ceremony. Hope was a delight to work with from the consultation through the wedding. I had never thought about a harp to be used as our music for the ceremony. The moment I heard Hope play, I knew this is what we wanted. Hope made it so easy for us to decide what music to have. She had many suggestions! She is very professional, but also so sweet to work with. So many people complimented the music, and said they hadn’t thought of having a harp play the music. The music was absolutely beautifu! Hope’s talent made it even more beautiful! Thank you, Hope!

    Hope's harp playing is a wedding dream come true. My now husband and I wanted a harp and accompanying strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Hope happily arranged for the additional instruments,(a violin and cello) and was always so helpful and pleasant to work with. She has a wide variety of song choices from modern pop tunes, to the classics of classics, and she'll even learn songs that aren't on her list, (just be sure to ask in plenty of time.) After the wedding, us and our families received praising and raving compliments about Hope, Luke (violin) and Cony (cello). I remember walking down the aisle to the enchanting sound of all the strings reverberating throughout the chapel; and the feeling was just magical. Having Hope be in charge of your ceremony and cocktail hour music will be the best wedding decision you will make! I promise!

    Wow, Hope Cowan was great! She responded in a very timely manner and was always eager to hear my ideas while also giving her professional opinion. She was out of town at one point, but was willing to chat with me via Skype or phone. Also, she is very reasonably priced for the quality of service. I would highly recommend her for any of your harp needs. I found a song that I wanted at my wedding that was not on her list of songs. She learned the song and played it beautifully at the ceremony. Very accommodating! If you book Hope Cowan, you will not be disappointed!

    Perfect, absolutely perfect choice for our ceremony music. We were looking for something "simply elegant" and Hope's harp music was a perfect choice. We were married in a little white chapel on a ranch in Richmond, Texas with about 50 guests. So, nothing needed to be elaborate, just nicely and simply elegant. Hope was very responsive during the booking process, had some great music choices and was very easy to work with. Many of our guests commented how they had never heard the Wedding March played on the harp before and it was just beautiful.

    Hope was recommended to me by a friend who had attended an event where she played. We were very happy with the music she provided for the dinner banquet and cocktail hour of our women's service organization's (Zonta) annual District Conference in Houston. There were many comments from the attendees as to the beauty and quality of her performance. She played a varied selection of music which we found very appropriate for our event. We would definitely have Hope back again to play for us.

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed using Hope to do our ceremony music at our wedding. We received numerous comments on the beautiful harp playing. Hope was easy to work with, and provided a helpful list of typical wedding music selections that made choosing easy. Hope was on time for both rehearsal and ceremony, and knowledgeable about common wedding music "cues". She worked easily with our officiant. All in all, we would highly recommend Hope to anyone looking for a professional harpist for their wedding.

    Hope played at an anniversary party for Autumn Grove Cottage Katy, an assisted living home where my mother is a resident. She contacted the manager very promptly. She was on time and beautifully played a variety of music . She wore a lovely dress that fit the occasion. She was professional in all regards. We were impressed and highly satisfied. We will hire her to play for more events.
