"“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

"....Chanah went above and beyond to make our event wonderful... I would hire Chanah again in a heartbeat!"

“Chanah is extremely talented and wonderful to work with. As soon as my spouse and I heard her play the harp, we knew we had to hire her for our wedding. Chanah went above and beyond to make our event wonderful - my spouse's favorite band is Animal Collective and Chanah went out of her way to find sheet music to the song "Applesauce" and played it during our cocktail hour. Her repertoire is massive and she plays music so beautifully - it was so hard to choose which songs we wanted her to play because she does phenomenal harp covers of so many songs. If we are ever in need of a harpist again, I would hire Chanah in a heartbeat! Thank you, Chanah, for making our wedding unforgettable!” ~ Melissa and Colin, Wedding 5/31/2025 in Holly, Michigan”

For the past year, she has worked with us to develop a beautiful, custom list of songs, and everything was executed with perfection on the day. Chanah is warm yet professional, and helped us make our special day EXTRA special. Of everything we spent money on during this process, Chanah's services and expertise were our favorite thing. We would do it again in a heartbeat, and recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you, Chanah!” ~ Skylar D, Wedding on May 24, 2025 in Ann Arbor, Michigan
