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!

"She is very collaborative with the music you would like to hear....Having her incredible music be the backdrop to my party was one of the best decision I had made for the night. "

“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!”

"...Chanah added a ton of color to our ceremony and made it feel like we were living the best movie ever! "

“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

". The music she played was very soothing and relaxing making for an atmosphere of comfort and warmth."

“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

"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! "

“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 wanted her to create a heavenly soundscape for our mother’s memorial, and she executed this better than I imagined!"

“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, you are an incredible harpist! You blessed my heart!....It was truly a moment in time!""

“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!!”

"I was actually in tears hearing this music played.....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. "

“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

"...Chanah is a true professional...truly a joy to work with."

“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.

"Chanah is the epitome of professional!.... I cannot recommend Chanah enough if you are looking for a harpist for your event!"

“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
