    Stunningly Perfect Music!

    Melissa kindly stepped in when our original harpist was unable to play for the wedding, and she was so kind and helpful as we made the transition! She confirmed that all of our ceremony music was correct with us on a phonecall, had a phenomenal selection of music to choose from for the pre-ceremony music and during cocktail hour, and I can definitely say that walking down the aisle to Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts played on a harp is the best experience of my life to date (other than marrying my husband of course). Melissa’s playing was absolutely stunning, we heard nothing but amazing things from other guests and loved what we heard during cocktail hour. Thank you Melissa for stepping in and making our day truly magical and perfect!

    Fall Wedding 2025

    Melissa was instrumental in the success of my wedding day, I genuinely could not have asked for a better musician. Leading up to the big day, she was communicative and patient with all of my questions, which I so appreciated amongst the chaos of the planning process! She played a beautiful selection of songs ranging from beloved movie score pieces to classic compositions. The melodic tones of the harp were mesmerizing throughout the reception, making for a truly magical experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a delicate musical addition to their wedding or other event!

    10/10 wedding instrumentals!

    We booked Melissa for a harp + violin duo for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and her and Janet really blew us away with beautiful arrangements! One guest remarked they wished the music could have gone the whole night! We were so impressed by Melissa’s extensive repertoire. The selections of classical and contemporary music really made the ceremony feel magical.

    Beautiful ceremony music!

    We are so happy that we hired Melissa (for harp and with a violinist) for our wedding ceremony. They sounded beautiful and added an elegant touch to the ceremony. Melissa has a long list of songs that we could choose from (many different genres to choose from), and she accommodated a new song request from us. We are really happy that we hired her for our wedding!

    The Perfect Touch of Romance for Our Wedding

    Melissa was absolutely incredible and added such an elegant touch to our wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience—the music she played was breathtaking and created the most romantic atmosphere. So many of my guests came up to me with compliments, saying how much her performance moved them.

    Even when I decided to add a violinist at the very last minute, Melissa was so gracious and accommodating. Her professionalism and grace made everything seamless, and her talent truly elevated the entire celebration.

    I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone who wants to bring beauty, romance, and elegance to their special day. She is simply unforgettable.

    Thank you, Melissa!

    Melissa did a beautiful job playing harp for our wedding ceremony. She was easy to work with, met our needs beautifully, and a talented player. Not only did she play our processional music, but she also entertained guests prior to the ceremony with her beautiful playing. I would highly recommend her.

    My dream ceremony!

    Honored to have had the privilege of working with Melissa and her team! We had harp, violin, cello trio perform out our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful.

    I must watch my wedding video at least 20 times a day simply to hear the music. I was so moved walking down the aisle and our guests were completely blown away. We worked with over 18 wedding vendors to make our dream day happen - if I had to plan my wedding over again the harp violin cello trio was the team I absolutely could not live without! Thank you Melissa for everything you and your team did to make our day so magical.

    So Special!

    We had the pleasure of working with Melissa and Christine (Cellist) for our ceremony and cocktail hour and I cannot recommend them enough. The music was absolutely beautiful, and coordination with Melissa was super easy. Melissa even played a new arrangement of one of my favorite songs, which added such a special touch to the ceremony. Thank you!

    Beautiful Music for Our Wedding Party

    Melissa played for my wedding celebration and her music was lovely! She was very communicative during the planning process and added in a special request I had for Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love." She also played other romantic contemporary pieces and our guests commented that they had a lot of fun listening for songs they recognized. She pulled all this off while sitting outdoors in the middle of a heat wave! I highly recommend Melissa if you're considering harp for an event. She'll provide incredible ambiance and your guests will love her music!

    Very Happy Bride

    Melissa played beautifully! We were so impressed with her level of experience and talent. The transitions between music selections were seamless and harmonious. Our guests were excited and enjoyed her music. Throughout the evening, my husband and I received countless compliments about Melissa’s performance. We highly recommend her for your big day!

    Excellent Choice!

    My daughter was looking for something a little different for music at her wedding. We found Melissa on The Knot. She was responsive, very easy to work with, and cheerfully accommodated all of our requests. She was on time, VERY reasonably priced and the best thing was the music was fantastic! Many of our guests commented on how great the harp was and how different. Highly recommended!!

    Melissa did an incredible job at our wedding, and the music was absolutely beautiful. All of our guests loved it, and it was such an elegant experience.

    The right decision!

    I hired Melissa for my wedding ceremony along with a violinist and it was the part of my wedding I was most excited about! The live music added romance and happy emotions to my wedding day. Melissa even learned The Office theme song because I wanted to surprise my husband (it’s our favorite show). Melissa was responsive throughout the entire booking process and professional!

    Beautiful music!

    Melissa played at our wedding reception and we are so thrilled that she did! Every song she played was absolutely beautiful -- we requested a mix of classical and holiday music for our December wedding, and she definitely delivered! Our guests haven't stopped talking about how beautiful it was to listen to her play during our dinner and post-dinner drinks.
    Melissa was incredibly responsive and helped answer all of our questions. She was incredibly timely on the day of the wedding as well. We highly recommend hiring Melissa!

    Melissa and her team were absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend them enough! They are incredibly talented and the music is simply beautiful. Melissa was very organized and professional from start to finish. She was also so helpful when I needed suggestions and advice and I appreciated her taking the time to offer her guidance. Having the harp and violins play before and during our ceremony added such a warm and elegant touch. Overall, it just made everything so much more special. I cannot say enough nice things and we are so happy that we chose Melissa!

    Stress-free wedding day music experience!

    Melissa was such a wonderful person to work with! I knew I wanted a harpist at the wedding ceremony, but I have next to zero knowledge about what songs sound good coming from a harp. Melissa helped me during the song selection process: gauging what types of music I enjoyed, suggesting songs, and also explaining differences between prelude, processional, and recessional. She made the entire process incredibly easy, which is such a godsend when planning a stressful event! I only had to tell her the wedding day timeline and she made it happen with no issues.

    I cannot recommend Melissa enough! We received many compliments about her.

    Amazing Harp Music for Our Wedding

    After finding Melissa online and listening to the wonderful music samples on her website, I reached out to her and she was immediately responsive. She was so easy to work with every step of the way and was one of the least stressful parts of our wedding planning experience! She was very open to our preferred song selections and was able to incorporate others to craft a full playlist for while our guests waited for the ceremony to start and also for the full cocktail hour. She perfectly timed the music for our walks down the aisle and created the exact atmosphere we had envisioned. Melissa is SO talented, everyone loved the music, her pricing is incredibly affordable, and I could not more highly recommend her. She made our day even more special and beautiful than I ever imagined. Thank you so much, Melissa!

    Awesome harpist for our wedding

    We heard Melissa play at a friend’s wedding and asked for her contact info when it came time for our event at The Ospreys (Woodbridge, VA). She worked with us ahead of time to plan which songs we wanted, and she was able to accommodate all of our needs. Her playing was excellent! The price was very reasonable and it added such a nice ambience to our outdoor ceremony. We highly recommend Melissa Dvorak if you need a harpist!!

    Added elegance to our wedding

    Melissa played exquisitely during our wedding reception. She is extremely professional, her services are incredibly well priced, and she has a great variety of songs to choose from. I fully recommend her to anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance to their event.

    Amazing harpist for ceremony!

    Melissa was wonderful to work with, and a live harpist added such an elegant touch to our ceremony! We received tons of compliments from guests. We also loved that she had a huge range of music in her repertoire, from classical to pop. (I walked down the aisle to Taylor Swift!) Highly recommend hiring Melissa. It's a fairly low-cost way to add a major wow factor to your ceremony.

    Beautiful and Unique

    Melissa was above and beyond wonderful. So many harpists we messaged acted like we were beneath them for wanting modern songs played. Melissa specializes in them and was a gem to work with from start to finish. She brought our whole whimsical vision together.
    On wedding day, the second I walked outside and heard the harp in a distance playing the Princess Bride theme, I lost my composure and started crying. Hearing that beautiful harp made the moment I had been dreaming of since I was a little girl very real. Every time I hear a harp now, I’ll be transported to wedding day and smile to myself. But no one could play as beautifully as Melissa! Book her!

    Fabulous Harpist

    Melissa's elegant solo harp performance filled our venue perfectly, providing great character to our ceremony. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding day, Melissa remained responsive, courteous, accommodating (she learned a new song for us!) and professional. We highly recommend her.

    Perfect Atmosphere for Our Wedding

    We hired both Melissa and Christine for the harp and cello duet for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music set such a beautifully romantic setting for our ceremony and created a perfect atmosphere for our cocktail hour- I have received countless compliments from our guests.

    Both events were outdoors and I could hear them perfectly from the holding area during the ceremony, which was probably about 50 yards away.

    I am so thrilled that we hired Melissa and Christine for our wedding - I don't think recorded audio could have come close to creating the same atmosphere they did for us.

    I would recommend asking your venue for some amplified audio or a very central location for the performers during an outdoor cocktail hour though since the chatter from our guests had gotten pretty loud by the time we arrived. I did not find that additional audio amplification was needed for the outdoor ceremony though

    Harp and cello for cocktail hour and dinner

    We originally had hired Melissa to play for our Sept 2020 wedding. Unfortunately, like many other couples, we ended up rescheduling for a year later. Melissa was understanding and responsive while we figured out our new plan. On the day of, the music was perfect. We had a somewhat involved request that involved processing into dinner and continuing right into our first dance and she handled it amazingly. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to any couple in the DC area. who's looking for a harpist to play at their wedding.

    Simply magical and so elegant

    Harp + Violin elevate any event-- when they are your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour entertainment, they transform the mood in the space to *magical*. I'm so happy Melissa and her violinist, Emily were on our vendor team. Melissa was flexible during our covid reschedule, and I'm just so thrilled she was able to do our wedding. She played all the songs on my request list, including lots of contemporary songs that are near and dear to my heart. She was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and the music was just beautiful, we got so many compliments. Thank you Melissa for being a part of our special day!

    Melissa was fantastic! She was responsive, helpful, on time, and played every song we asked for. Even when we had to change our date due to Covid, she was willing to do whatever we needed to make things work. Highly recommend her if you want a beautiful, romantic sound for your wedding ceremony.

    Amazing in all ways

    Melissa is professional, talented, flexible and reliable. Our wedding switched due to covid and then we had to modify plans again due to rain and chill, and she was flawless! She played a mix of music that our guests loved and it was a treat to hear her.

    Wedding harpist

    Classy & Memorable!

    After finding Melissa on Weddingwire, we also received a recommendation from a family friend that she was the best. Melissa did not disappoint!
    We decided to go with the Harp and Violin duo. Melissa was very responsive and had a huge selection of music of varying genres!
    My husband is a huge blink182 fan, so we asked if Melissa (Harpist) and Emily (Violinist) could play blink182's "I'm Lost Without You". After providing them with sheet music, they learned it and played it perfectly! (Even multiple times at the request of my husband! :) We received lots of comments from our wedding guests about how lovely the prelude music was. Melissa and Emily really added the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony! Also, considering COVID, they took all the necessary safety precautions to protect themselves as well as our guests. Thank you, Melissa and Emily!!

    Beautiful Ceremony Music

    The music for our ceremony was beautiful because of Melissa, it made our day so much more special! Melissa also played during our cocktail hour, and it set the mood perfectly for the evening. I would highly suggest booking Melissa, the live music, especially the Harp, made the walk down the aisle so much more stunning!

    Beautiful harp music

    Melissa was very responsive from the very beginning, answering all my questions quickly before I even booked her. She helped figure out timing and and how many songs we would need to choose plus she learned a custom piece for our wedding which was absolutely perfect. All the music was absolutely beautiful and our guests really enjoyed the live harp. Melissa was super accommodating with the whole covid situation and having to reschedule our wedding. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for live harp music for any event.

    Melissa was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfect on our wedding day, and Melissa was so easy to work with every step of the way.

    Talented harpist

    Melissa was accommodating & helpful throughout the planning process, and independent during the ceremony. She coordinated well with the officiant. Her instrumental harp repertoire was just lovely and added so much character to the ceremony, itself. I wish we had asked her to play throughout the dinner portion of the reception.

    FANTASTIC-most talked about among our guest

    Melissa and Sonya (Violinist) were fantastic! They were the highlight of my ceremony and cocktail hour. As the bride I didn’t get to enjoy them as much as my guest but they were able to hang around a little over their time to let me wind down and relax and appreciate them for awhile. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

    Melissa was incredibly responsive, professional and a joy to work with. My husband and I also had a lot of ideas how we wanted to incorporate a recording of my husbands grandfather into the ceremony and she was open to ideas, gave great suggestions and made our ceremony a dream come true. The harp was played absolutely beautifully and she was such a compliment to the ceremony. Thanks Melissa for being a part of our special day! I cannot recommend her enough!

    Beautiful ceremony music!

    I wanted something a little different, and classic for my wedding ceremony. My mom found Melissa and she was amazing! About a week before my wedding I scoured her website looking for songs to use during my ceremony and was blow away by her selection! There were so many options in all different genres. I ended up selecting "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran for the bridesmaid and family processional, "Can't Help Falling in Love" for the bride processional, and "Here Comes the Sun" for the recessional. To be honest, I was so distracted by everything leading up to the ceremony that it wasn't until I got to the aisle that I heard the music and it was beautiful! She played everything perfectly, showed up on time, and we received tons of compliments on her. I definitely recommend going with Melissa and her harp for your ceremony music!

    Melissa played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour She was fabulous! She has a wide repertoire and can really play anything you want (we had her play Disney, Beatles, and contemporary). She was easy to work and communicate with, affordable and professional. I would definitely recommend her for any wedding ceremony.

    Melissa Tardiff Dvorak

    If you are looking for a harpist or harp ensemble for your event, I highly recommend Melissa Tardiff Dvorak. When you hire Melissa, you have no worries. She is a true professional from start to finish. Melissa has a wide repertoire and additionally, she is willing to learn new pieces of music for your event. Most importantly, she plays beautifully! Melissa played with a violinist and cellist at my daughter's wedding, and it was the best decision we made for the wedding. The music was amazing and all of our guests raved about it!

    Wedding Harp and Violin duo

    From day one, Melissa was exceptional! A true artist and professional from the heart; she will play for you as she is playing for one of her loved ones. Her harp is magic!
    She made our wedding day extra special, our guests loved it! Our families loved it! She even played a few classic Star Wars songs for us at our request, being that our wedding was on Star Wars Day. It shows the diversity in her repertoire and ability with the harp.
    My husband and I will forever remember how she played Here Comes The Bride in the most beautiful way. I will treasure it forever! I highly recommend hiring her for your special day.
    Thank you so much Melissa for your music! May the 4th be with you! :)

    My husband and I couldn't have been happier that we worked with Melissa on our recent wedding. Melissa was responsive, flexible, and all of our guests really enjoyed the harp. We felt that the harp was an extraordinary addition to our cocktail hour and ceremony. We were also extremely appreciative that Melissa worked with one of our family members to perform a song together. It enhanced our ceremony experience and was very special. Couldn't recommend her more! Thank you Melissa for everything!

    Thank you so much Melissa for playing at Emily and my wedding. We absolutely loved the ambiance you created with your playing and everyone raved that the cello/harp dual sound was exquisite. We couldn't have asked for a more complimentary soundtrack to our wedding.

    Melissa was an amazing addition to our wedding ceremony and post-ceremony meal. She made the music selection process as simple as possible with a one-page form for us to note our selections, and even had clips and suggestions on her site to guide us through that! She showed up well in advance and worked with the coordinator on site to set up in a spot that worked for all. And she played beautifully! Many of our guests commented that Melissa and her harp took our event from a casual outdoor gathering to polished, but in no way uppity, ceremony.

    I am so thrilled we found Melissa to be our wedding harpist. She plays a wide range of music styles (from classical to modern pop) and her extensive website was helpful in making our song selections. I was undecided on a song for the bridal party entrance so Melissa picked something that fit with the rest of our selections. She was incredibly responsive to any emails I sent. Loved working with her!

    I can’t say enough great things about Melissa. I hired her for my Mother’s Memorial service and couldn’t have been happier with my selection. She played a fantastic array of songs and was accommodating to all my requests. She is a wonderful harpist and you would be lucky to have her as a part of your special day. Thanks again Melissa!!

    She was very easy to work with and responded to messages promptly. We had the harp and cello combination. The music was beautiful and helped create the atmosphere. When an accident caused most of our guests to arrive late, she even stayed past her contracted time to play the end of the ceremony. I would highly recommend her.

    Melissa played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests complimented on how magical it was with Melissa's harp music. Furthermore, Melissa was incredibly easy to work, very flexible, and extremely professional and talented. Her repertoire list was huge so we had no problems picking out all the songs we wanted her to play. I highly recommend her services for the added magical touch for your wedding. She was one of our favorite investments for our wedding. Thank you Melissa!

    We couldn't be happier with Melissa (harpist) and her fellow cellist. During our wedding on September 15th, they played our favorites. My husband had a grand entrance walking out to the Game of Thrones theme to Killing Me Soflty by Lauryn Hill to John Legends All of Me and my beautiful entrance of A Thousand Years. I can't wait to get our video to hear all of it together! Melissa was so pleasant to work with leading up to the wedding. I could just feel her kindness through our emails. She wasn't pushy either. Her sense of peace made me feel calm. Thank you Melissa!! We will always keep your contact info in our back pocket. We highly recommend you!

    Melissa played the harp for our ceremony and brought a flute accompanist -- I loved working with her! From the start Melissa was super responsive and easy to work with. Melissa's website includes tons of samples of her work which makes it very easy to narrow down your song selection. The music was absolutely gorgeous and really helped set the tone for our ceremony and entire wedding day.

    Melissa was truly amazing! We booked her to perform at our cocktail hour and we're so happy that we found her. She was extremely easy to work with, we exchanged a couple of emails with details of our wedding- months before the big day. On our wedding day, Melissa was prompt, super professional and her performance was everything! Our guests are still raving about her!!!

    Such a great decision to hire Melissa. I didn't get to speak with her the day of, but she arrived promptly, played all the songs we asked for for the ceremony, as well as the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. I asked her to play 3 songs not on her repertoire, and it was flawless. Without being asked, she even played one of the requests both before and after the ceremony, so I'm hopeful we caught it on film (since the videographer was busy pre-ceremony). She was easy to communicate with throughout the process, and was one of the first vendors I booked.

    We were very fortunate to be referred to Melissa; and it was our honor to have her as the harpist at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. At all times, she was a consummate professional, flexible, and very easy to work with. Melissa is an exceptional harpist and her playing is magical; and she was an essential element in making our day so special :-) My husband and I only have one suggestion: Melissa...please do another CD of your fabulous music!! Her CD of lullabies, which is wonderful, was recently given to our youngest grandchild!! Very Highly Recommend!! Connie & Karl

    Melissa was a fantastic addition to our April wedding! She plays beautifully!! She was very flexible when we had to move our outdoor wedding indoors due to a late snow. She was able to play every song that I asked her to and really made our wedding so special. Thank you Melissa!!
