"“Chanah is a truly amazing Harpist. We were so impressed with the every step of the process. ...."

“Chanah is a truly amazing Harpist. We were so impressed with the every step of the process. Friendly, Timely and professional. I would say the youtube videos speak volumes of what Chanah brings to an event to transform it into a fairytale. Our Wedding ceremony will be memorable for decades to come. Thank you” ~ Tiffany F, Wedding on 5-30-26 in Canton, MI



"Chanah helped make our wedding feel truly memorable. We would absolutely recommend her for any event where you want live music that feels both elegant and personal."

“We hired Chanah to play for our small 15-person wedding, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She was very responsive to messages and questions and checked in several times leading up to the wedding, which made planning feel easy and organized.


”She learned two new songs specifically for our ceremony that weren’t already in her repertoire, and they were truly beautiful and meaningful. Her repertoire is also very easy to browse on her website, which helped us choose songs and get a sense of how they would sound on the harp ahead of time.

“On the day of the wedding, she arrived at the same time we did, and we had a chance to chat before the ceremony. She is warm, personable, and easy to talk to, which immediately put everyone at ease. During the ceremony, her playing was clear and balanced, nothing was overpowered, and everything felt seamless. We were especially impressed by how well her setup carried throughout the conservatory space; the harp could be heard beautifully from every room.

“Afterward, she continued playing while guests mingled, and at one point she even asked which songs we’d like to hear again, which made the experience feel very personal and interactive. Her harp itself is also stunning, and it added such a beautiful visual element to our photos.

“Before leaving, we were able to chat again briefly, and she was just as kind and friendly with our guests as she was with us. She later sent us recordings of our favorite pieces and the songs she learned for our wedding, which has been incredibly special to listen back on.


”Overall, Chanah helped make our wedding feel truly memorable. We would absolutely recommend her for any event where you want live music that feels both elegant and personal.” ~ Miranda and Nick, Wedding in Detroit MI on 5-21-26



"“Chanah is the ultimate professional ...."

“Chanah is the ultimate professional and stepped in quickly to play at the Celebration of Life for my son. We also had a soloist and Chanah worked with her in a rehearsal beforehand so everything was practiced and perfect for our day. The harp is beautiful, ornate and gold and Chanah wore a beautiful dress. It all combined for the elegance we wanted for our very important day.” ~ Suzanne M, Event in Howell MI on 5-2-26

"They were a beautiful addition to our ceremony..."

“We had Chanah (harp) and Florina - “FlorysMusic” (violin) play as a duet at our wedding. We're really happy with how everything went and how everything sounded. The collection of music was really great and they played it beautifully….

We would highly recommend harp and harp plus violin to friends. They were a beautiful addition to our ceremony and we know they'd be satisfied!”

~ Sara and John, Wedding on 4/25/26 in Woodhaven, Michigan

University of Illinois Harp Studio Presentation

It was my pleasure to once again meet virtually with the U of I harp studio!

By request, I was asked to speak about developing a private harp studio and what that entails (equipment, psychology of working with different age groups, assembling music tracks for them), how to navigate some tricky specific client situations as a professional, and how to keep the joy and passion of performing alive even while keeping the practicalities of businesses in place.

Thanks to my brave 11yo student, H, who gave her permission along with her parents for me to include some before-and-after practicing sessions in my slideshow and some of our text message conversations about progressing in lessons. The practical example really helped to show what works really well in this phase of our student-teacher teamwork!

Thanks for having me, everyone!!! I hope it helped! :-)


"Chanah was a delight"

“Chanah was a delight. Fit the vibe of our themed wedding perfectly. On our wedding day she was prompt, her setup and teardown were seamless and unobtrusive. Correspondence was prompt and there were no hidden fees. Chanah's musical recommendations helped us realize our vision for the day. If we have any regrets it's that we couldn't hang out more, she was so cool and nice!” Kurt - Groom on Wedding 4/18/26 in Southfield, Michigan

"The value is priceless. You will not regret hiring her, so what are you even waiting for??”

“Wow. There is not enough incredible words to use to describe Chanah and her stunning talent. Chanah was the very first vendor I reached out to before we had even booked our date. I knew she had to be playing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. Our vision was very romantic, moody and blue, ethereal and enchanting.

Working with Chanah over the 1.5 year to make our vision come to life was amazing. She is so kind, funny, incredibly helpful and beyond talented. We cannot recommend her enough to have her at your wedding or any special event. I know so many people came up to us telling us the harp was one of the most beautiful things they have ever heard in their life.

Our wedding day was the most happiest and perfect day of our entire life, and it is no doubt it is partly because of the magic Chanah was able to bring on our once of a lifetime day. The value is priceless. You will not regret hiring her, so what are you even waiting for??” ~ Naba and TJ, married 2/21/26 in West Bloomfield, Michigan

".... She was professional, kind, and so helpful....We would wholeheartedly recommend her....""

“We’re so grateful to have had Chanah play the harp on our wedding day. She played beautifully, and the harp brought such elegance, setting the perfect tone for our ceremony. She was professional, kind, and so helpful in choosing songs in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day itself, as I stood feeling nervous before walking down the aisle, she began playing Canon in D—and it instantly calmed me. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to add something truly special to their celebration.”

~ Craig and Han, married 9/26/25 in Rochester, MI
