“Chanah is amazing!! She is wonderful to work with. I am so happy that she was at our wedding, the harp was a great addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour!” ~ Meghan S, Wedding on 1/20/2024 in Bloomfield, Michigan
“Chanah was one of my favorite additions to our wedding day! My now husband and I went back and forth about adding a harpist for our ceremony and cocktail hour and I am SO glad we did! Chanah is all-around wonderful. She is so easy to work with; she's responsive, flexible, and so incredibly kind! In addition to that, there aren't enough words to describe how beautifully she plays! True perfection! Having her as a part of our wedding day is something I will forever cherish. If you're debating on whether or not you need a harp at your wedding... you DO! And Chanah is the perfect harpist for you - I promise!”
~ Bianca S, Wedding on June 2, 2024 in Rochester, MI
“Chanah was incredible. From the moment my guests saw her gorgeous harp sitting in the corner to the moment she left, we were enthralled. She is very collaborative with the music you would like to hear and very straight forward and accommodating. Having her incredible music be the backdrop to my party was one of the best decision I had made for the night. It was relaxing and other-wordly almost. Highly recommend!”
~ Dom K, Birthday party on 1/21/2024 in Detroit, Michigan
“My now-wife and I could not be more grateful for Chanah and her harp. Chanah added a ton of color to our ceremony and made it feel like we were living the best movie ever! She was so easy and fun to work with in the lead up (we really didn't have a great idea on what songs and styles to pick and she educated us) and put on such a beautiful performance. She's an incredible musician, professional, and person, and I would urge anyone looking for music for their ceremony or event to reach out to her. We couldn't be more grateful!”
~ Ray and Bridget, Wedding on 12/16/2023 in Detroit, Michigan
“I first met Chanah when I contacted her to play at our 60th year of friendship Christmas party on December 3rd, 2023. She was open that day and was very excited to play for our event. Every time I contacted her since our initial communication she has been very willing to discuss any detail I needed her to answer. Just recently October 1st a friend from our group died and since she was the one who was paying for Chanah to play at our party her family decided to hire Chanah to play at her funeral reception. It was a pleasant surprise to see her and hear her play the harp. The music she played was very soothing and relaxing making for an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. A job well done Chanah! Thank You for making the funeral luncheon more manageable with your music. We are all looking forward to December 3rd when you will be playing at our Christmas Party.” ~ Linda K, Luncheon on 10/16/23 in Dearborn, MI
“Chanah is absolutely wonderful to work with! Our wedding guests were raving about her skills. I love that Chanah let me know that she had some of our cultural songs in her repertoire and we chose them to everyone's enjoyment! She's such a sweetheart and I would recommend her to anyone; she caught amazing shots of me and my husband and sent them to us as a wedding gift, and it was the sweetest thing!” ~ Fatima I, Wedding on 10/12/23 in Detroit, Michigan
“I know I gave Chanah Ambuter 5 stars in every category, but that’s because they don’t allow 6 stars! I’m being truthful, her accommodations, and artistic performance was everything I hoped for, and more! I told her I wanted her to create a heavenly soundscape for our mother’s memorial, and she executed this better than I imagined! She’s not only an excellent harpist , she even teaches others. She allowed time as after concluding to answer some questions about the instrument, and gave a close demonstration of how the instrument works. If I were a billionaire, I’d hire her to play every day in my mansion. We will hire her again! Great idea, and I feel it was worth it!” ~ Richard W, Memorial Service on 10/7/2023 in St Clair Shores, Michigan

“Chanah was such a amazing harpist! She helped me every step of the way when selecting music for my wedding ceremony. I am grateful she played for my wedding.” ~ Nina F, Wedding on 8/26/23 in Shelby Township, Michigan
“Unbelievable! Incredible performance!
You did a great job last night! You follow extremely well, unbelievably well. I balled my eyes out with the Ave Maria performance [duet with my husband on cello]. Oh, I can hardly believe it!! The tone on that cello with the harp was so gorgeous!! Your instrument sings!! You are such a gift! It was truly a moment in time!!
I [just] had a good cry again!! Thank you so much!! Chanah, you are an incredible harpist! You blessed my heart! Such a blessing you are!!
Thank you, thank you!!”

“We had Chanah play during the cocktail hour of our garden wedding. She was very professional and her playing is wonderful. Guests loved her and even gave her requests, which she accommodated!” ~ Bellina G, Wedding on 7/21/23 in Rochester, Michigan
“It's not often you come across a vendor who cares about your event as much as you do, but Chanah is truly that. From our first conversations hitting it off over our mutual love of cats, to her genuine interest in learning and understanding South Asian culture and music, and her absolute professionalism and expertise through it all, Chanah is an absolute gem. She helped me navigate through her very detailed portfolio of available songs and was able to honor nearly every request I had. She took on the song requests I had and played the more beautifully than I've ever heard. She made great professional recommendations around logistics for maximizing the harp experience the day of, and was extremely flexible during the actual event. She checked in at appropriate times in the weeks leading up to the event and all around made me always feel comfortable and confident in my decision to work with her. All these factors would have made her a 10/10 vendor, but then she went even further above and beyond. My fiance and I are South Asian and while I'd always dreamed of having a harpist for our event, I especially wanted to feature some of the special South Asian songs I grew up with. Chanah committed to one of my choosing among the list of options I'd sent her, but two days before our event she surprised me and let me know she'd perfected 4 more of the South Asian songs to the harp, in addition to even watching some of the movies they came from. I was actually in tears hearing this music played during our event in a more beautiful way than I ever had before. Chanah is extremely skilled as a harpist and is an incredibly genuine and kind human being. I would work with her over and over and could not recommend her enough! Chanah, I've said this to you before and will say it again - you were the best part of our day, THANK YOU!!” ~ Maisha R, Engagement on 5/20/23
“In addition to her beautiful music, Chanah is a true professional, responds quickly and truly a joy to work with. Highly recommend!” - Sue S, Wedding on 6/19/2023 in Clarkston, MI

Once again, I was delighted to team up with versatile Florina Petrescu with violin and harp duo for the ceremony & cocktail hour.
They chose a ceremony and cocktail soundscape with beloved soundtrack arrangements, cherished Golden Oldies, and timeless classical gems.
“She was so easy to work with and her music set was so beautiful! Would highly recommend!” Lat D, Wedding on 5/13/23 in Dearborn, MI
“Chanah is the epitome of professional! From our correspondence via The Knot, to our first meeting Chanah was a pleasure to work with. Chanah performed at our wedding during our cocktail hour (outdoor) and through dinner (indoor) and we couldn't have been happier. She made sure to play all our Must Have songs and was very accommodating through a hectic day. Throughout the planning process she had wonderful suggestions to help make our day special and memorable. Having a harp performance really made our wedding day unique for us and our guests. I cannot recommend Chanah enough if you are looking for a harpist for your event!” ~ Michelle S, Wedding on 5/27/23 in Detroit, Michigan
“Chanah was amazing! Through the whole process, she was so kind, thoughtful, and talented. She has a massive repertoire and made suggestions based on what we liked; my husband (!) and I are self-professed nerds, so she played excerpts from Lord of the Rings, Skyrim, and all of that nerdy stuff as well as more traditional, classical music and it all sounded so beautiful.
Our guests were blown away and so were we; she completely elevated the feel of our cocktail hour and set the tone for the evening. It was so classy and elegant to mingle with our guests with beautiful harp playing in the background. Chanah was absolutely perfect and her performance was easily my favorite detail of the day!”
- Anna and David, married 3/25/2023 in Detroit, Michigan
“We hired Chanah to play the harp during our wedding ceremony and for a cocktail hour along with a violinist (Florina Georgia). Chanah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was always responsive and easy to talk to during video calls. My wife and I even had a vision for some songs for our ceremony and Chanah was able to arrange a couple of custom pieces. We highly recommend Chanah for your future event.” ~ Dan and Bridget, Married on 11/19/2022 in West Bloomfield, Michigan

“Chanah really helped to complete our perfect day. Her portfolio is fantastic. We had such a fun time selecting our songs.” ~ Erin H, Married on 10/15/22 in Detroit, Michigan
“Chanah was wonderful to work with! She was very easy to communicate with via email, messaging etc, and I definitely always felt that my needs were in good hands. My husband and I wanted a song from a video game as our recessional song during our ceremony, and Chanah was able to transcribe the entire song (there was not any sheet music already available)! It was exactly what we wanted and made our ceremony feel really special. I would recommend having Chanah play harp for your special day anytime.” ~ Jade P, Wedding on 10/29/2022 in Ann Arbor, Michigan
“Chanah is such an amazing musician. Plus, she's very friendly, very helpful, and very motivated to make your special day even more memorable. My wife and I asked her to play a Yann Tiersen song, "Penn Ar Lann," when our fathers walked us down the aisle for our wedding. She played a beautiful rendition of the song and made our walks really special. We asked her to play classical music from her repertoire during cocktail hour and requested specific contemporary songs from her repertoire for dinner. Hearing "Montero" by Lil Nas X on the harp was a highlight!
As a lesbian couple, it was important to us that our wedding vendors were LGBTQ+ affirming. Chanah was that and more. Thank you, Chanah!” ~ Rebecca E, Married 10/17/2022 in Plymouth, MI
