Wonderful and Memorable

Having Kara play at our wedding was very emotional and memorable. The change of music cues while everyone walked down the aisle was so beautiful. Definitely brought tears to the eyes. Thank you so much Kara for being such an important part of our day!

Beautiful music and a wonderful person!

Hiring Kara to play during my wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I've ever made! She's incredibly talented and her beautiful music really elevated our ceremony. She was also so professional, organized, communicative, and an absolute delight to work with. She even learned a new song just for my ceremony, truly going above and beyond to make my event special. I'll be forever grateful for the role she played on this special day and couldn't recommend her more highly!

Ceremony Harpist

Kara was so easy to work with, she responded in a timely manner and was great about answering any questions we had. She provided us with a huge list of songs and was also able to play pieces not in her list when requested! She fit seamlessly into our day and was a pro when it came to set up and location for the music!. She played beautifully and made our wedding day so much more special!
