I Believe
Music makes all the difference.
As a musician, I take a lot of pride in putting forth a solid presentation. In this case, it starts with the music. I have spent hundreds of hours putting together my playlist.
Each selection is arranged by me, and most of them are my favorite songs. If they aren’t my favorite songs, then they are someone else’s. I actively try to not play bad music.
Every 20 titles on my playlist constitutes 1 hour of music. So, right now I can sit down and play 5 hours of music.
testimonials
“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Sara. So many of our guests were impressed by her talent and complimented her all night. She offers such a huge selection of music – from classics to modern. She was also able to compose a song that is near and dear to my mother and played it so beautifully on our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend her.”

Sara was very professional. She paid attention to the details of the wedding. There were no awkward pauses, all of the music flowed beautifully. She answered all communications quickly. I recommend her highly.”

Why is harp music The Perfect Choice?
01.
Your guests will be more engaged at your event.
From a business perspective...the more fun your guests are having the longer they will stay. And I'm going to guess that is exactly what you want.
The longer they stay the more time they will spend doing whatever it is you have invited them to do...whether it is buying, or networking, setting up appointments, etc.
02.
It's never going to be overpowering.
Even with the volume knob on 11, you will never be in the middle of a death metal thrashing situation. It will still be harp music. I can cover Metallica, and no one will get hurt. The harp also happens to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing instruments there is. It ticks all the boxes. The harp lends itself equally to both contemporary music and classical music.
03.
It's fun to do cool things.
Live music has the ability to transform an event. It can be a social glue, something that brings people together and makes conversation easier. For many of your guests, it will be the one and only time they ever hear a live harpist.
